*rubs eyes... yawns* I'm awake. Listening to Stoney on pre-game show. China just can't catch a break. First they lose WWC03 because of SARS, then reports of such poor air quality come out for WWC07 that teams delay their arrival times. Now a friggin' typhoon! Unbelievable.
hmm, a new (bad) ad w/ the fake pr guy. still don't like the ad series. that replay of the "I will have 2 fillings" ad during the pregame show just how bad the current ad campaign is and doesn't have to be. eta: my non-soccer life intruded of late and I missed the whole "there's a typhoon" thing. dang. (and the near striking Nigerians).
Supposedly no big puddles, but I can still see quite a few divets. Doesn't look as ugly as the last matches on this field somehow.
in the pregame interview, Ryan said they wanted to put a lot of balls over the top b/c of the rain. GOAL!!!!!!!
Did Hope look a little slow coming off her line for that ball to anyone else? Was there a communication problem?
I had thought about hiding results, but the announcers are going to update us on every goal.... Anyways, make the text color white and tell the people to highlight to reveal.
you know, the Nigerian is undisciplined, etc rep I think doesn't apply to this team. Oh, so now the announcers say that, too. They did just put together a nice passing sequence...
ouch on the Chalu tackle. Thanks Foudy, jinx Rampone's recovery speed ( I never like the phrase "never")
Missed the first goal waking up, stubbing my toe and getting my laptop from the bedroom to the TV room. What happened? ----------------------- Well-deserved yellow for Nigeria.
Actually, the background for many skins is not actually white... it's a very light grey. White text can be read on some skins. The following example is the best way... FYP!
Dumb foul, late whistle. I don't think we want to be giving up free kicks in this weather even though that turned out to be nothing.
