EURO 2012

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

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?

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.

The misery is being prolonged in a masochistic way.

proposed title for history of the England football team

nakh otm

ps fuck alexi lalas and taylor twellman but strangely not kasey keller

the weird thing is, it's not like the Netherlands only have a mathematical chance either, it more or less is in their own hands assuming Germany don't take the piss. and we know Germany never take the piss.

that hall cunt needs a kick in the hipothalmus

Not going to read all the comments you guys made up here, but assume you were all spot on:

- Horribly bad
- Pace like senior citizens
- Midfield took a day off
- Lolland

It was just laughable, really.

jim, I can't watch videos at work, so I'm not sure

What's the chance for a Germany vs Russia game?

assuming Russia and Germany win their groups they can't meet until the final i think

Hmmm

the guy im on about is a geordie guy, prone to strange metaphors and similes of his own devising, very effusive about good passages of play.

germany v russia in kiev

like old times

Date 23 August – 26 September 1941
Location East and South of Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union
Result German victory

I wish Mexès had done some kind of cheesy French pop song so you could be 'Mexès chanson massacre'.

Dynamo Kiev vs SS!! Ah, such great memories.

i seem to recall Mexès got accused of being a fatty hence the coleslaw bit

dunno why commentators aren't mining more WW2 gags instead of going for lame shit about Greek mythology and the Irish lads enjoy a beverage

feel bad for robben being replaced by a worthless piece of human trash like kuyt

haha <3 never change

huntelaaar was some bullshit huh, fuck u misleading bundesliga

feel bad for robben being such a talented cunt.

Zucht. Dat je dus de hele tijd met zes (statische) man achter de bal wandelt, dat is geen voetbal.
De Belg was weer zeer bij de pinken "dan speel je met twee controleurs en dan kan Schweinsteiger zo de bal aannemen."
Maar goed, de prijs van niet ingrijpen na het WK.
