World Cup Day 7.

[Oncy]

She is not talking in sentences thats whats annoying.

‘Tempers fraying’

‘All involved’

‘Silva on the ball’

‘Quick through ball’

 

[Oncy]

Plus her voice is shit

Danny Murphy is much, much worse than this lady.

In general though, I wish they'd go old school for commentary, and I'm not talking about a boys club, I'm talking about color and play-by-play. Being good at kicking a ball doesn't make you good at describing it, in fact, it would appear to be the opposite.

I long for the early days of Andy Gray. For all the stick he got he was great at describing plays & movement, even off the ball.

I get the feeling she's trying to make it deeper than normal so she doesn't sound like a whiny girl.

 

[Farkmaster]

I genuinely think she's better than most, and its an incredibly low bar. She has to work on her intonation, but she'll need experience to do that.

He was great.

The all-male punditry is now discussing whether they'd be disappointed not scoring two good chances, and, the mediocre players are all discussing how, if they were in the world cup, they'd be curling the opportunities calmly into the corners of the goal.

It's a safe space that's as interesting as a pedestrian aisle in a warehouse.

Over here everybody's still revelling in Germany's loss. Call it small time but it's still great fun mocking those arrogant fuckers.

I'd say there's a similar vibe in Holland.

When I'm watching football and there is a woman talking, I tend just to nod lots and make 'uh-huh' noises.
I've now got a sore neck. This is shit form from the BBC.

This is so true.

Or basically anywhere in the world.

Saudi Arabia have started well. Uruguay struggling to actually gain the opponents third, gulf between flat dm and the forwards is huge.

 

[Oncy]

Its literally all Saudi right now.
Allah akhbar

*triggers government interest in SCM*

*Governments look confused*

 

[Farkmaster]

Saudi's can't defend a corner. I've seen some bad corner defending in recent years, and that was a peach.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Suarez with a gimme after the Saudis completely fail to clear a simple cross from a corner.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Despite that goal being scored, this is a pretty dull uneventful match so far.

 

[Oncy]

Really? Im enjoying it. Quite even

 

[Athens]

I thought Uruguay were going to bum rape these guys.

 

[Skullflower]

Would anyone still just pay the 50 for suarez?

 

[Rosco]

*triggers government interest in SCM*

*Governments look confused*

Woland beat you to that

 

[Rosco]

Would anyone still just pay the 50 for suarez?

No.

 

[Oncy]

Id pay £50 for sure

 

[Oncy]

Get my man to open bottles for me and shit.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Nah. Just not feeling the love for this match.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Get my man to open bottles for me and shit.

He wouldn't need to find a bottle opener anyway.

 

[Oncy]

He wouldn't need to find a bottle opener anyway.

There you go again missing my humour.

I know Vicki. She's always been absolutely footy mad. Give her a break FFS. Can't imagine how nerve racking it must be going in to such a situation. She knows her stuff and earned the call up from her work on radio in the north east over the past few years. This was her first live televised match. Baptism of fire, and paired with Martin Keown!

I see John Terry was digging at her commentary via Instagram. And for that reason alone, I'm all about Vicki Sparks. She's Ace.

That's kindof Uruguay's deal... kindof like us under Benitez at his frustrating worst. Doesn't matter who they play, those two DM's are going to be near each other, flat, and not pushing up.
