i think they need to win by 2 for gd and denmark need to lose.

yah i think u may be right nv

Holland beat Portugal, Germany beat Denmark xxxxp

Basically, they're out as it stands if Denmark get a draw against Germany B

oh aye they need a two goal win and Germany not to fuck them over for lolz

germany have destroyed this game marvelously imo

except germany b is like gotze schurrle kroos klose etc

yeah, but Germany aren't going to be too bothered about doing them a favour

lol that Germany could still go out

germany havent qualified yet! no way those prussian psychos will be complacent

got the radio on in the kitchen, ultra-patriotic Englishman Alan Green seems to really hate the Germans for some reason

Is there anyone towards whom Green doesn't spew hatred?

Stevie G probably

OOZIL

kind of endearing that Mick still refers to Ireland as "we"

moaning about commentators - dud
turning tv/radio volume down - undud

yeah i find turning the radio volume down works a treat when following a game

i will now spend the next 5 minutes speculating as to which much-loved commentator ILX poster "whatever" is related to

i think you know what i mean

Mark Thomas Lawrenson (born 2 June 1957) is a former professional football player, a defender in the Liverpool and Irish football teams of the 1980s...He is married to third wife, Susie, and has two children, Sam and Ruby.

I'm hearing you whatever, and I do try. It's just...

Here in the States, I often like listening to foreign streams which I don't understand; the crowd noise is there and the urgency in the commentators voices clues me on to something if it's a dull match and I've dozed off.

otm

you get that from lawro?

yes this is best
xp

yeah, even if you can get a "stadium noise only" option it's often weirdly lifeless. moaning about shitty commentary is one of the pleasures of slow passages of play tho.

you've lost me

as van bommel said to schweinsteiger on two occasions tonight

There was that one commentator I liked - funny guy and not full of stats or cliches - but I never hear him anymore. English, methinks or Brit and maybe on gol.tv. Anybody?

Lawro turned into team building guru.

There is no I in TEAM!

Aw, didn't he actually say "there is no Arjen team"?. I thought he was making a funny!

moaning about moaning about commentators is Aimless level moral highgrounding

ffs nakhchivan

he is our lawro

When I'm streaming games at work, the sound is so low I can only make out the bass of the crowd anyway, so I mostly just go for the most reliable stream.

nv is right, bawheids like lawro are there to be lamented and mocked

Stuart Hall?

sorry all, i'm not on ilx enough to get the nuances spot on.

was only gently ribbing tbh but in all seriousness, what's wrong with taking the piss out of woeful commentary?

What probably hurts most is that after two appalling losses, we're still not out of the tournament. It's not fair. The misery is being prolonged in a masochistic way. Sneijder et al on telly still bloody saying "well we still have a chance!". Madness.
