off topic I know, but, October, 2002 Italy 1 - 2 Wales! :first: (this is our '66)
which, I thought I'd post after Ireland very nearly got their glory moment against Italy.

what's hilarious is, that there's a video available on Amazon, of Wales's 2-1 win over Italy, it's quite funny how sad some people are.

NB: I have 14 copies of that video.... *whistles*

Well isn't this lovely...tonight I can watch Mexico - El Salvador on tv, I can watch Costa Rica - Trinidad & Tobago on tv, but can I watch USA - Honduras on tv...oh noooooooo. No, this American has to find a damn stream to watch USA - Honduras.

I own a copy of the 4-3 Italy-West Germany game (actually my dad's but he passed away) and the 1982, 1994, and 2006 finals.

Seriously. God forbid any sport come before college football on ESPN. I'd understand if it were some HUGE rivalry between two top teams, but it's Georgia Tech v Florida State taking precedence over a World Cup Qualifier match. I mean COME ON...

There's a swarm a bees buzzing around the El Salvador goal. Needless to say, the game is being delayed.

Some guy is using a fire extinguisher on them.

lol, i may turn on my tv for that

 

[Lisa]

They're playing now, but there's still bees buzzing around where the cameras are.

yeah, i missed the extinguisher part

at least it was somewhat funny when the fans yelled at the Salvadorian keeper

 

[radioactivenerd]

omgwtfpapaya higuain.
how the fuck can you possibly miss that.

 

[SixOneFive]

These commentators on Telemundo are awesome. Nice to hear some actual enthusiasm compared to the dull ESPN broadcasts.

 

[hdcantona]

Interesting, I thought Higuain had played in some way for Argentina before, but it turns out, this is first involvement with them, and he could have played for France.

Choosing between them must have been like choosing to get on the Titanic or choosing to live in Atlantis. Both destined to sink...

Mexico 1 El Salvador 0

was an own goal

 

[Lisa]

Mexico 1-0 El Salvador

 

[crazy4milan]

So wait...no balls scored at the 90th, the goal that qualified Italy to the WC? What a lack of balls


COME ON USA (do us that little favour).

COME ON COSTA RICA! (going to the stadium).

Peru isn't holding the ball at all, but Argentina hasn't been dangerous.

 

[crazy4milan]

Argies just scored.

 

[radioactivenerd]

Pablo fucking aimar with the assist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Welcome back you legend!!!!

 

[ezekiel2517]

not to take away the glory of the great pablito, but who was the scorer?

 

[crazy4milan]

Peru scored the 1-1

I was joking with my dad who was watching Colombia-Uruguay that we should change channels to see Peru scoring the tie and they were just scoring it.

 

[Lisa]

Peru scored, 1-1

 

[crazy4milan]

Argentina 2-1

 

[Lisa]

Palermo has put Argentina back up 2-1

Was that Maradona doing a belly flop?

 

[hdcantona]

Martin Palermo, the legend, scores a late tap in, to save Argentina

Anyone see his 40 yard header the other day?

 

[Sod-Lod]

Peru scored the 1-1

Maradona Get the hell out; you are not a coach damn it you hardly take care on yourself; just beat out..

 

[ezekiel2517]

wonderful goal from El Salvador...

at least the match is getting interesting. For the most part it was incredibly dull

3-1 on Mexico's favor

 

[crazy4milan]

Didn't see the repeat but that was a pk before or after the ref whistled... (said before or after cause the stadium audio went out, massive storm in Buenos Aires).

Ok so at least we've got the 4th place saved...depending on the rival we might MIGHT have a tini tiny chance.
