I don't have tv at work so had to find it online

 

[Zorak]

I get the same problem, and I have a pretty fast connection here.

Sports will never take off online until we get a decent picture that doesn't stutter or cut out every bloody minute.

I have watched movies and tv shows online that did not stutter and cut out nearly this bad. It was almost every 15-30 seconds it seemed

its just the fact thats its live streaming, and quite possible in HD too

so live streaming is the problem and there is a difference between that and streaming?

I had no idea it would make a difference

What is new in refereeing? Plenty of teams get screwed badly over decisions like that

 

[retro]

It seems like soccer referees are becoming more and more like baseball umpires or NBA referees... they want to be as much a part of the game as the players. Makes me sick.

yeah with hosted streaming the information is stored on the website and has a chance to buffer and such

with live streaming the information is channeled through the signal then dumped through your internet connection. if you work in an office the bandwidth might have been a factor as well

oh, and I really thought that the yellow card for getting hit in the face with the ball was pretty cool too How in God's name he saw that as a handball is beyond me. Such a bullshit game.

I think most of them are tired from their season, most of the players that are playing in the World Cup, are European based, plus the altitude is different from Europe, with the exception of a few countries

Another fresh team selection for England I see....

...Seriously, why doesn't anybody have a pair of balls big enough to drop Lampard? He and Gerrard cannot play together (please do not argue they can, i'll take you to school) and to compensate he puts Gerrard out left, then everyone can see he he is a much better player than Lampard.

And Heskey up front. I don't give a shit if Rooney plays better alongside him, he doesn't score goals. Whereas Crouch does.

 

[Zorak]

Everybody in the country knows what system we should play.

4-5-1 with rooney up front alone.

 

[Tuffdisc]

C'mon England:thumbup

 

[Zorak]

And for the record, I think Lampard is invaluable to England.

Gerrard runs around like a headless chicken most of the time, it's good to have someone a little more measured on the ball.
