World Cup - Day 4 - (Netherlands vs Denmark, Japan vs Cameroon, Italy vs Paraguay)

[Sylar]

First game of the day features the highly fancied Netherlands vs Denmark, followed by Japan hosting Cameroon and closing off with the much unmentioned Italy facing Paraguay.

TV scheduling as follows. For those of you, like me, who are at work, the 2 BBC games will also be available online. ITV's website appears to be done, though I don't actually know if they stream the games in real-time?

I can see me getting very little done today as a result :greengrin

[CallumLaidlaw]

COULD be 3 good games today, particularly the first 2.
Unfortunately I will be at work for all of them, but we willhave the TV on in the office, so I will get to see bits

They do, but I am not sure if you'll get them in the US.

[SlickShoes]

ITV player has the games live, i watched the south africa game on Friday on it!

[SlickShoes]

Where exactly on the BBC page to do you watch it, all i can find is 5 live audio?

[SlickShoes]

Yeah i just realised the holland game is on ITV

[Gatecrasher]

If you listen carefully you can hear the Dutch fans sing!!

[The_Horde]

Dutch appear, to me, to be trying too hard to play. Forcing it a bit.

[Sylar]

Bah - just got back in to notice that Robben is on the sodding bench - that'll be my fantasy team awaiting points for a bit longer then!

:grr:

['Mon the Hibs]

Holland v Denmark ------> :yawn:

Missed the 1st 7 games due to being away over the weekend. Managed to get the Germany game last night which was good, but only as Austrailia were so poor. But doesn't seem i've missed much.

The world cup will properly kick off tomorrow at 7.30pm :agree::thumbsup:

[SteveHFC]

1-0 Holland

[Sylar]

1-0. OG.

Craig Burley is a rim-jockey.

[Sylar]

How the Dutch aren't down to 9 men already is quite beyond me.

2 absolutely horrible challenges.

[Woody1985]

Who scored?

My work has blocked the BBC update. :grr::grr::grr:

Who's in goals for Holland?

It was an own goal - Daniel Agger.

Stekelenburg in goal for the Netherlands.

Piss-awful game.

[Sylar]

Has Arjen Robben been caught with Frank DeBoer's missus or something?

By far one of the most talented players in the Dutch arsenal, and he doesn't look like leaving the bench! :grr:

Edit: Ah, I see he's injured!

[Sylar]

2-0.

[SteveHFC]

2-0 Kuyt

[Dunbar Hibee]

2-0 Kuyt:thumbsup::thumbsup: How annoying is Craig Burley!!

[Sylar]

Rivetting & fast paced start to the Japan vs Cameroon game....


:rolleyes:

[Hainan Hibs]

Netherlands will have to improve if they are to win the cup, they did look a lot better when Elia came on though.

Japan vs Cameroon has been dull so far, not helped by Mark bloody Lawrenson giving his "can't be arsed" act again.

I really dislike Mark Lawrenson as a commentator, but it's hard to disagree with his lack of enthusiasm. Poor attendance, awful football, no chances being cut out and it's so stop/start it's unbearable.

It's rivalling the Algeria vs Slovenia game for "worst of the tournament" thus far.

[Hainan Hibs]

I really dislike Martin Lawrenson as a commentator, but it's hard to disagree with his lack of enthusiasm. .

Mark Lawrenson is a prick too:greengrin

[Peevemor]

Mark Lawrenson is a prick too:greengrin

I didn't even know he was a Hibs fan, let alone an admin. on here.

[SlickShoes]

Its a gash game so far but lawrenson is being an arse, if its that dire that he does not want to be there im sure there are better people that would take his place.

[Sylar]

Mark Lawrenson is a prick too:greengrin

Woops! :greengrin

[Sylar]

Japan 1-0 Cameroon.

Honda.

[Dunbar Hibee]

1-0 to Japan. Hopefully this will liven the game up!

[Hibercelona]

1-0 to the diving fairies.

Still dire stuff though. :yawn:

My boots about to go through the tele with these erses on the mics.

[CropleyWasGod]

Japan 1-0 Cameroon.

Honda.

A triumph for the boy...

[Dunbar Hibee]

:agree: Much prefer ITV. Doesn't really say much though cos the BBC commentators are unbearable!

[Hibercelona]

Japan 1-0 Cameroon.

Honda.

Hopefully they'll take their feet off the brakes now and up a gear.

[MWHIBBIES]

This isnt a great game but there is no excuse for Lawrenson insulting it,the players and the japan manager.

[Hainan Hibs]

Japan 1-0 Cameroon.

Honda.

The boy has a fantastic engine.

[Sylar]

They boy has a fantastic engine.

He'll exhaust himself quickly though.

[Dunbar Hibee]

He'll exhaust himself quickly though.

:agree: He's certainly got the right drive through.

[Hibercelona]

They had so little to take from that first half that they were forced into doing a piece on African elephants. :greengrin

And now to the england camp... :rolleyes:

[Gatecrasher]

japan game has turned out a good one,

iv started listening to talk sport and the sound on the tv down its much better :agree:

[Matty_Jack04]

red button you can have 5live commentators through the t.v, lawrenson is the worst co-commentator ever! not that 5live is much better total lack of respect :grr:

[shamo9]

Bloody hell, does Lawrenson even want to be there? Has he been dragged to South Africa against his will, or can he only muster a desire to live when England are playing?

I know the threat of Cameron looms large, but that still shouldn't stop the BBC from being able to hire a 'commentator' with an ounce of enthusiasm - aren't they supposed to try and keep the audience watching rather than urging them to switch to the exhilarating Midsomer Murders?

[hibsbollah]

I enjoyed Japan's performance, good passing side. If they had a striker theyd be contenders.

As for Lawrenson, i wish he'd just **** off.

[Sylar]

Take it the second half was a bit better then?

I turned it off as I figured getting some work done would be more prudent.

Here's hoping for better things tonight, as overall, the first 2 games today have been utterly woeful.

[YehButNoBut]

Has Arjen Robben been caught with Frank DeBoer's missus or something?

Edit: Ah, I see he's injured!

Robben was injured a few weeks ago and probably still not 100%, so probably not being risked yet unless neccessary.

[Hibs90]

Cameroon look dreadful. Why Eto'o started on the right hand side is beyond me and why Alex Song wasn't playing is beyond me aswell. Actually hate Mark Lawreson but he was right when he kept banging on about it.

[NOLA]

VAMOS PARAGUAY!!:greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

Some of the Italian passing is superb

[poolman]

What a boring monotonal guy that Mick Mcarthy is :yawn:

[Hillsidehibby]

Anyone see the Hearts flag behind the Paraguay goal?

What kind of pillock would take that to a world cup?

Mind you they are a big club.

[SteveHFC]

1-0 Paraguay:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Dunbar Hibee]

Mon the Paraguay

[Sylar]

Another display of scintillating football.

The SPL must have spoiled me :rolleyes:

i just said the same thing, gimmie SPL any day :agree:

[Russdoorsfan71]

Is anyone else as bored as I am watching this dross?

I had to check my sky box to check it wasn't playing in slow mo!!!! The Italian forward line is one of the slowest and unmotivated bunch of phannies I've seen this side of Tynie!

[we are hibs]

Aye spotted it earlier on..sad individual looking for brownie points,and no doubt over on keekback they will be creaming themselves about it.

Lets face it,thats the only way they will see world cup stars..:greengrin

[SteveHFC]

1-1 Now :grr:

Nah, I think that's fair play. If I were to get to South Africa I would certainly be advertising the fact that I was a proud Hibee and Scot.

[Chuckie]

Whats the difference between Mick Mccarthy and a vuvuzela? One has an annoying monotonous single pitch drone, with an odd lopsided opening on the front which has no place in the World Cup. The other is a plastic horn...

Any of you on my side of the Atlantic watching the games on ESPN? You would have thought there would be American commentators? Nope, just more English pricks and also Super Ally :bye: I want to kick the **** out of Steve McManaman :grr:

[Albanian Hibs]

Oh and I nearly vomited when I saw a Yam flag behind the goals :jamboak:
