Holy Shit, World Cup Games

[Loose Cannon]

So I just found out every single World Cup game will air on ESPN or ESPN 2 next year :eek: Fuck yea. First time it's ever happened in America.

So for you Yanks who watch the WC (i.e. probably just me and BCWWF) we get all the games this time.

[Nervous Ferret]

eah was watchun argentina or whatever
lol

[Loose Cannon]

lol what

[Nervous Ferret]

there is a WC qualifier game on now I think. ESPN2

argentina is playing i think

[Nervous Ferret]

Or it might be like some Argentinian Outdoor network replaying a 2 week old game. you never know with DirecTV

[Loose Cannon]

I've got USA vs Guatemala on mine

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah thats it

[BCWWF]

There were quite a few on in Korea/Japan, but they were all just on at like midnight, 3 a.m., and 6 a.m. That still made for some fun nights though, we had a big party for the 3 a.m. game against Mexico, it was pretty sweet.

What times will the Germany games be on here? I assume morning, like 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m.?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Germany will be 6 hours ahead of EST, kickoffs will mostly be at about 4pm at the very earliest and 8pm at the latest.

[BCWWF]

No that can't be right, if a game started at 8 p.m. EST it would be 2 a.m. in Germany.

I'd think that a primetime (7 p.m.) game would start at 1 p.m. then in New York. Unless prime time is 8 p.m. or doesn't exist at all? Now that I think about it, I remember France being pretty much morning games here as well.

[BCWWF]

Oh nevermind, It

[BCWWF]

Oh nevermind, I thought you meant they would start at 8 p.m. EST

[BCWWF]

Sorry, this computer is being fucked up, but how about Northern Ireland?

[The Miz]

Go Poland

[Fignuts]

U.S.A. beats Mexico.

Snap.

[PureHatred]

I watch all the available games; even when the Copa Mundial was in France and tha tmeant getting up at 3 am. So this is happy news.

[SammyG]

Usa will make it to the elite 8 for sure. Like last year, then we got screwed on that handball by that german fuck on the goal line. fuckers.

[Fignuts]

We are already in. So is Mexico, Germany(duh), Brazil, Argentina, Japan, and Ukraine.

[Nervous Ferret]

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Comeon, it would be ROFL if we won that shit and nobody cared :cool:

[Loose Cannon]

Saudi Arabia and Iran are in too.

[Nervous Ferret]

On the other hand, it might come off as "cool" to the next gen. and there could be a soccer boom in the U.s :meh:

[Fignuts]

Technically there already is a soccer boom. It's getting more popular here every year.

[Nervous Ferret]

"technically"

But by the high school level the only kids who stilll play are real fags :nono:

[Fignuts]

You must go to school in San Diego.

[Funky Fly]

ssssssssssssssssssexy

[BCWWF]

The US has no chance of winning it this year, but depending on the draw they could get back to where they were last year. If FIFA rankings were accurate and Casey Keller actually is the best keeper in the world, then I'll be damned. I still stand that the US will make a run at the finals in the next 15 years though, even though everybody east of the Atlantic wrote paragraphs against it last time I said anything.

[Danny Electric]

lol
elite 8

[BCWWF]

Lol, I figured somebody would point that out.

Even the idiots of the world have to enjoy the World Cup, it is unlike any other event in team sports.

[Danny Electric]

I think the last two big events, world cup and euro championships have shown that the gap between the better and poorer sides is getting smaller and that anhything can happen.

[Lotus]

[Crimson]
