Did anyone watch Fox Sports Espanol today and get some narrators speaking English? I don't think I did anything to change my TV or cable box set up; in fact, during the commercials, it's all in Spanish. I hope it's just today - these Latino guys try hard but it just sounds so weird. If I wanted quality English-language narration of soccer, I'd turn to Setanta sports for the English Premiership.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) On your remote control, Press 'menu' and look for 'Languages', and it should give you the option of Spanish or English. If your system is like mine you should be able to pick either language. Did you catch River Plate, or Prata whatever you call it? They need to stop playing La Copa, they embarrass the country.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) Yeah I fixed it, I somehow changed the SAP settings on my cable box. Odd. I just re-watched the end of the Nacional match and I never thought it'd be such a relief to hear Fernando NiembrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA over some clueless Latino dude trying to sound like a knowledgeable soccer commentator. I didn't watch the whole thing... no time. But I did DVR it and I skimmed it. It's what I told you a few weeks ago; except for your team, your country's teams aren't doing too well this year. Estudantes da Prata seems to be making a comeback; we'll see when they host Cruzeiro this week. But Rio da Prata... I just read an Argentine online daily to try to find out why the Nacional fans were gloating so much. Turns out one guy from CARP (Fabianni?) had talked trash about Nacional before the game and now the Uruguayans were making him pay for it. And now Rio da Prata may not even qualify from a group with unimpressive sides such as Nacional (Paraguay) and Universidad San Martin (who tied 1-1, keeping CARP at 3rd place)? Tsk tsk tsk...
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) I still don't get your signature, Century's Best. It's an online website that the comment was left on: for all you know the guy could be a Brazilian pretending to be Argentine. But even if he/she really is Argentinean, why does it matter that some random person said that? I'd understand if it were an important Argentine figure such as Maradona, but it's a random guy that nobody knows. Sorry to get off topic with the thread. I've just been curious about it for a while.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) It's an allusion to the soccer rivalry that exists between our countries, clubs, etc. That an Argentine fan said this means more than a Brazilian, no? A Brazilian can easily brag about Brazil as an Argentine can brag about Argentina. It means more when the "enemy" says it.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) Right, I get the idea. But my question is, how much importance does it have when in reality it's a random person that nobody knows (and might not even be an Argentina fan)? Especially to have it as your signature for such a long time (over a year now). Oh well.. it's just my perspective.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL CHINO XIMENEZ! csm. creo que nunca le metio gol a la U cuando estaba en SC, pero que interesa! lastima que luego empato calheira
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) He was Argentine. He was writing about how he thought Argentina was playing poorly and how at the pace Brazil has done in recent World Cups, that we Brazilians would get to have 8 or 9 World Cup titles in a few tournaments' time. Besides, I am not one to make stuff up just to have a spiffy signature on some online bulletin board.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) increible? 32 goles con la celeste en el 2008! EL GOLEADOR! COMO ME GUSTARIA TENERLO AL CHINO EN SC! jugadores como el no hay que dejarlos ir.....
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) Jajaja ok, pero ya sabes como le fue en la costa colombiana? jaja mejor no repito su historia por aca. Igual suerte al chino.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) bueno por mas mal que le haya ido en un lado tampoco eso te sirve para sepultarlo! en cristal la rompio y en el libertad no lo esta haciendo nada mal tampoco.... U 1 LIBERTAD 1 vamos libertad
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) csm, que gol el de la U buen gol de piero alva.... U 2 Libertad 1 lo esta consiguiendo la crema..... si aguantan 30 minutos mas la hacen..... buen resultado para la U, resultado parcial
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) The sad thing is that the group is so pathetic that, even as bad as they've been, River still can probably advance, if they beat San Martin.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) And Boca's group is a lot more impressive. Cuenca? Tachira? Guarani?
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) Bueno y yo lo dije. Cuando empezo la Copa, dije que la San Martin y la "U" iban a pasar sus grupos. Varios dijieron : "No, na que ver","Que son malos","Que no tienen historia","Que San Lorenzo era un equipo muy fuerte","Que River quedaba Primero", "Que San Luis era el que pasaba". Hoy vengo a decirler, señores se equivocaron. Hoy por Hoy, River esta casi eliminado y jugando Matematicamente. Aunque yo vi el partido de la San Martin con Nacional, la verdad es que me da mucho coraje la manera de jugar de San Martin. Jugo a media maquina. empezo ganando y pudiendolo ganar. Pero se dejo complicar el partido porque estaban happy de la vida con el empate. Nacional de Uruguay le pinto la cara a River y casi se lleva la victoria. Ahora lo de la "U" es aplaudible. Le gano nada mas y nada menos hasta ayer el mejor equipo de la Copa Libertadores en numeros y en puntos. La Libertad Gano todos sus partidos (hasta ayer) y solo habia recibido 3 goles, que fueron los 3 de Universitario. San Lorenzo necesita ganar en Mexico al San Luis, lo veo casi imposible, y con eso la "U" ya paso a octavos de final. YAY for me! Es verdad es la primera vez que el Chino Ximenes le hace un gol a la "U", no lo podia creer. Creo que por eso ni lo marcaron, por que siempre se fallaba goles contra la "U".
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) but first they have to win in Paraguay, if they loose then most likely probably not.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) San Martin ha hecho lo que tiene que hacer, hace respetar la casa ganando todos sus partidos en Peru y hasta empatando fuera de casa. La "U" devio ganar en lima contra San Luis "envez" se juegan la "suerte" porque una victoria de San Lorenzo contra San Luis y la "U" tiene que ganar en Buenos Aires para pasar. No es impossible que San Luis pierda en Mexico, hasta ahora no ha ganado ningun partido en casa.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) As crap as Nacional is, River only beat them with an offsides goal at the Monumental. So I could see them only tieing or even losing in Paraguay. It would be emberressing for River if they don't get out of a weak group such as theirs.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) Honestly though, I don't think there are any weak groups in this copa. Nacional is playing awesome, San Martin is solid, especially at home and the only exception is Nacional (Par.) who are pretty bad. But it's competitive for a reason.
Re: COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r) The way River plays, the way Gallardo takes on the team. I really doubt River has any chance in beating Nacional (PAR). Besides San Martin will beat (NAC-URU) easily? perhaps not, but San Martin has not lost any games as local.
