Good afternoon folks. It is the rare Wednesday afternoon of European league action and there is plenty on TV for those of you who A) work the graveyard shift, B) work from home, C) can work your TIVO from the office, D) can get out of work early and E) have a slingbox.
here is a rundown of this afternoon and evening’s soccer matches on TV:
Please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below (and please do not comment on matches that have yet to be shown and are being shown on delay, and yes, I mean the Hull-Chelsea match).
Enjoy the action.
Time for the meaningless, worthless Concacaf game with DC United and 3 or 4 fans in RFK – the last opportunity to see many players and coaches who we will hopefully never seen again!!! But…I’ll watch…maybe they’ll have to put the “borrowed goalie from the MLS player pool” in for some excitement!
‘ARRY REDKNAPP’S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY
The attendance to the Hull-Chelsea game was 24,906 but it might as well have been about 75% of that with how quiet the Hull fans have been
Chelsea up 3 to 0 – Ives…hopefully this means Hull falls out of your top 25!
Finally Malouda sticks one in to the net. perfect low cross from….Carvalho? anyways its put chelsea ahead 3-0 and Geovanni should probably run off the pitch crying any moment now.
Shame Dempsey didn’t get the start. I bet he would have added a goal if he did. Finally Andy Johnson put some goals in a Fulham shirt. For nearly 11 million pounds, he better score at least 12goals this season to become a successful addition.
Hey another cleansheet for Pepe Reina. How come he is so underrated? He won the Golden Gloves for the EPL over the last 3 years straight? He should be in the running for best GK in the world. I understand Casillas and Cech and VanDer Sar and Buffon but come on Reina is the best
Ronaldo may be seen as the best player in the world but who else would be in your top 10 of deciding?
For me.
Fernando Torres
David Villa
Steven Gerrard
Frank Lampard
Lionel Messi
Rio Ferdinand
Iker Casillas
Edwin Van Der Sar
Pepe Reina
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Im looking forward to how well Bradley will do now that he’s getting playing time for MGB. He didnt have a good night against Cuba and took a well deserved rest against T&T.
It is a free for all with goals so far today. Liverpool and Chelsea beating it tense for the top spot with Arsenal, Man U and Aston Villa coming behind them.
Goal anelka. Chelsea have the insurance goal.
Best strike duo in the Premier League? Has to be Carew-Agbonlahor with 11goals between them in just 10games. Amazing.
Some really outstanding goals scored today, Bentley’s blast, the 2nd Ronaldo goal (Berbatov provides the magic), and as much as it pains me to say it, the Lampard goal.
Seriously, if I had a feed of Arse – Spurs, I might watch that again. Don’t worry about spoilage, what a game!!!
geuss who missed a chance? Malouda.
Great save by Myhill off the volley from Anelka.
‘nother missed chance by Malouda. In my opinion Cousin has been the man of the match for Hull, at least offensively.
Hull have picked it up a notch. I have to point something out though. Geovanni was talkin’ the talk earlier this week and its not the fact that they’re losing that pisses me off, its just that he says something like what he did and then he starts DIVING…..wow nice one, Geo.
The chelsea-hull game is at http://mundocramex.blogspot.com/
there’s a stream there.
What a strike by Cousin. JUST off the post.
Jozy and Villareal lose 5-0 to a 3rd division side?
Damn, didn’t see the ‘no spoilers for tape delayed games’ note.
So many games are watched via internet these days that I sort of disagree with the policy but hey, it’s all good. Sorry about the oops. Delete my comment from 6:14 if you like.
Candidate for goal of the year, to be sure, Ives. Of course, I dropped him two weeks ago from my fantasy squad (he wasn’t being played by Ramos) and he scores in each game. Fk.
13th- Bentley with a screamer of a goal from 45, Wow.
Good stuff today. Amazing goals, late dramatics, quality play….and Chelsea put the hurt on Hull. 🙂
Cheers!
Listen folks, if you have Setanta then you’d better watch or tape Arsenal-Tottenham. Wow.
Aljarov, you just spoiled it for everyone who didn’t watch it.
WOW, everyone needs to watch that Arsenal-Tottenham match, UNBELIEVABLE finish.
“Harry Redknapp’s white and blue army”!!!!
COME ON YOU SPURS!!
4:4 at the Emirates….inc a 95t minute equalizer and a goal of the year contender.
tottenham and arsenal was an instant classic. you guys need to watch the match to believe it
the tottenham arsenal game is legit. Spurs have come back to tie, scoring 2 goals in the last 5 minutes or so. 4-4.
A Diop handball gives Liverpool the penalty kick that wins the game. Tough first official match in charge for Tony Adams. Solid showing though.
FINAL- Liverpool 1, Portsmouth 0. And the Reds stay on top of the English Premier League.
90th minute- Three minutes of stoppage in Liverpool-Portsmouth.
89th minute- Liverpool leads Portsmouth 1-0. Ugly game, probably deserves to be a draw.
“and yes, I mean the Hull-Chelsea match”
Argh!
villareal getting beat 3-0 against a third division team
Try skysports as well. Go Liverpool. Jozy got the start? Oh jeez. Amazing
Dempsey on in the 72nd
If you’re looking to watch an EPL or any European match, check out http://myp2p.eu for streaming video. The feeds are usually good enough for viewing and at the very least are listenable.
Thanks Beckster, that works.
g-loff – go into the BBC site and by club you can look at live commentary and then there is also a live feed of all the games which is up to date.
Not sure what the problem is with ESPN today.
Fulham up by 2 on goals by Andy Johnson – doesn’t look like Clint will claim his spot on the starting 11 any time soon.
Man, this is frustrating. Trying to keep up with the Liverpool-Portsmouth match and the espn gamecast commentary is running about 15 minutes behind the action, then the only feed that seems to be (sort of) working I can find is someone literally videotaping their television…and THAT keeps cutting out. Cruel, cruel world…
Nate – good to know about Jozy.
So guess we are limited to Fulham and Everton discussions for the time being? Exciting!
Ives, are you going to do a follow-up on the Americans abroad in yesterday and today’s games? How did Bradley do yesterday for example?
Freddy dressed but didn’t see action in the Monoco game today. Don’t see Jozy’s name on the roster for Villareal.
Altidore started for Villarreal…
And secondly Adu still can’t get a sniff of action for Monaco.
Must…resist…urge…to…comment…on…Tottenham…Arsenal…match…
Dempsey on the bench….Fulham ahead by a goal early
