Pretty nasty storm cell blowing through Bristol, stuff should be fine now.

Swoop1809: My power is out at home due to the huge storm that went through Ohio on Friday. I'm hunkered down at buffalo wild wings with beer, air conditioning, a power outlet and wifi. They will never get rid of me

Can you get Gus Johnson to announce the game?

/just kidding...I like the English announcers
//so much better than ESPN's sh*tty soccer announcers

Anyone in for a bet when Balotelli will blow a gasket?

orange storm		2012-07-01 03:14:02 PM

good attack by Italy

So you're roughing it? You wouldn't believe the difficulties I've encountered trying to watch various games from Mali.

Donnchadha		2012-07-01 03:14:30 PM

Are the ESPN commentators just narrating over the official UEFA feed from the comfort of Bristol?

why must a cast be visible?

It's been pretty brutal. My mag light fell over on my Kindle and broke the screen. I don't know how I'm going to survive

You have to keep your cast viable. Does UEFA really thing someone is going to go Cowboy Bob Orton on their ass?

Now That's What I Call a Taco!		2012-07-01 03:17:08 PM

Pirlo vs. Xavi is like Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady, only they also play defense

it's the official feed (only one set of cameras at the stadium), but the announcers are in whatever polkraine stadium the game is.

I thought they just narrated over the feed from the safety of the US for some other tournament before -- either the last Euro or the Confederations Cup. It became obvious when the UEFA feed went down, and the commentators were still talking and commiserating that they had no idea what was going on either.

thanks, I knew they got the rights, could not remember when. I hope they do a better job than when they called college football bowl games.

It'll probably be Joe Buck and Landon Donovan. With a fat Bruce Arena as the sideline reporter.

Fox and Telemundo - So we can get the dream team of Gus and the goooooooal guy.

/probably Buck calling the matches like they're funerals

missiv		2012-07-01 03:23:13 PM

JerseyTim: I like that both managers have blazers with patches. More sports should adopt that look. It worked for Hank Stram. I bet it would look great in the NBA.

/gfop

Baseball needs to redress their Coaches uniform code too. I kind of like the idea of a coach whipping the Ump with his tie.

the very thought of Joe Buck calling a 0-0 draw makes me sleepy thinking about it.

162 games, in the summer, in suits.

That'll run up quite a dry cleaning bill.

He was only offsides because he fouled the Italian defenseman to slow him down.

Xavi got tired of hearing about "Peerless Pirlo", decided to show everyone who the true boss of the midfield is.

Nike would be all over that issue, and open up another revenue stream for their trouble. Towns would be banning young toughs from wearing gang coloured casual dress suits.
