The Soccer Thread (IV)

66 minutes gone and the forces of good have a 1-0 lead!

 

And the forces of good still can't defend to save their lives. 1-1.

 

Evil 1-2 Good! It's all coming to life!

 

3-1!

 

I watched that match, deskslave. Painful from a quality standpoint, but a little bit of excitement in the last 20 minutes made it barely tolerable.

 

Yeah, Portsmouth are really, really bad.

 

Rugbyjack!!!

Thanks to BBC America I got to watch Ireland v. France in the Six Nations. One, why not Scotland v. Wales (damn you Welsh bastards!)!?! And why not in HD!?!

 

Because on BBC America, you're getting England games and France-Ireland, which was probably the de facto championship game. Dunno that there's a good reason for that, besides the fact that Scotland and Wales aren't that good.

 

Scotland-Wales was a much better match. Damned Welsh won it with seconds left.

Oh, and Killick posted this on Anything Goes, but it belongs here. A Puma ad for what to do when matchday falls on Valentine's Day.

 

Oh, I know. If only the BBC could get around to finishing its work on the 'predicting-the-future' software that would make these decisions easier.

 

Damn you and your logic!!!

 

Bit patronising from Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins, describing today's game as 'Cardiff's cup final'.

Cardiff, of course, having been in the REAL Cup final two years ago.
