No one in America understands Cricket but everyone knows it’s the father of baseball


I’m not going to pretend I know anything about Rugby but you talk about Hockey being rough. All contact sports are rough so I don’t like saying which is rougher really but Rugby freaks me out.

And in soccer

The collisions are gnarly

I don’t give a **** what anyone says


Poland is sucking the dong

El Tigre :cool:

Class goal.

Great to see him score in the World Cup after his injury.

Congratulations to Colombia. 3-0 winners vs Poland.

We're in the final round of group games now, so it's effectively knockout football from here.

Tomorrow's games:

Group A: Saudi Arabia vs Egypt
Group A: Uruguay vs Russia
Group B: Iran vs Portugal
Group B: Spain vs Morocco

The games kick off at the same time in each group by the way, so you will have to choose which one you want to watch.

Spain or Portugal for me. How are the telly gonna cover that? They'll prob flip from one to the other.

Edit: looks like RTE are going for the bolded, but as I say, I'm sure they'll switch to the other game as they go, to check the status.

Also, TV > telly

:finger: We say telly, the box, the goggle box, idiot box, tube and a whole lot of other things.

That all sounds really stupid and lame. Don't you people usually have good slang?

If they have a second channel it might be on that. I can't remember from the last World Cup if BBC/ITV did. I didn't actually watch England's last game as we were out by the third game. Watched Uruguay vs Italy. The game Suarez bit Chiellini.

No, they do but they're showing Home and Away, Neighbors, Eastenders, Fair City, Lark Rise to Candleford, the News, Say Yes to the Dress, Eastenders again, the News again .... you get the picture. Only one channel here is showing the matches.

Edit: your guys have Iran/Portugal on BBC 1, Spain/Morocco on BBC 4. They don't seem to be showing the other two matches at all.
