Anyone know where to catch Ukraine - England game on the internet? The website that is showing the match in England is blocked in the U.S. http://www.ukrainevengland.com/unavailableInTerritory.jsp: Any advice / links would be appreciated. Thank you.
You're underestimating the timing and venue of this game. Its one thing to play in Camp Nou or at Wembley, its another thing to play in Dnipro with all the chips on the line
Here's something to cheer everybody up: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2lbnK9zzMI&feature=player_embedded#"]YouTube - ??????- ??????? 1999[/ame]. 10 year anniversary of the match and the goal.
As an English supporter, obviously I hope that we will win, but on the other hand, if we lose I will not be too bothered, I would love to see Bilic's face after that.
It's just not the same, though. You want to beat an opponent who's really trying to beat you. Defeating a less than motivated opponent cheapens it. But winning in any fashion is certainly welcome around these parts.
If we DO beat yer on your patch I'd like to think we won't be going overboard with the celebrations like Bilic did at Wembley when they knocked us out the euros 2008. All that 'running down the touchline, punching the air', bollocks we had to put up with. You'd think they'd won the world cup and euros all in one game to see that twat. A bit of a celebration from the players, obviously, but nothing too extravagant from the manager and staff. That kinda thing leaves a nasty taste IMO.
Why would you celebrate at all? Aren't you already through and this game is little more than a friendly worth 3 points?
Well, that's exactly the point our English friends are making. Croatia had it in the bag already 2 years ago when they met England at Wembley thus making that game a glorified friendly (for them). But their celebration looked more like rubbing it in.
Capello has been coaching for a much longer than Bilic. I don't expect him to be that classless, so I don't think there's much to worry about on that matter.
Yeah, that's the point. You expect people to celebrate, particularly the players. People are only human after all but Bilic went overboard ESPACIALLY bearing in mind the fella had played in England, (at West ham and Everton), for 5 or 6 years, only going back to Croatia for the last year of his career so he must have KNOWN how important it was for us. For someone with THAT history to make it look as if he'd just banged the Olsen twins* was a bit much to take, tbh. * Actually, I've used that expression a few times recently in conversation because I heard it in an American comedy and it SOUNDS pretty funny but, tbh, I'm not not entirely sure who the Olsen twins are.
Olson twins are some identical twin actresses who made at least 20 movies that had the exact same plot. The girls look the same and no one can tell them apart.
The last time they were both cute enough to bang this would have been illegal and fraught with danger of being incarcerated
