[Crybaby Bunting]

This is going to be the tournament I'll be watching every match. For year's i've missed so much because I didn't think to record the other matches, but thanks to freeview I can set everything up in one button click

Only problem is they'll spoil the other match by giving us a goal update every 5 mins >_<

What are you so excited about? You don't play until Monday >_>

You'll only have that problem during the third round of group games when both group matches are on at the same time. Unless you plan on watching the second game before the first game in the first two rounds of group matches. But that would be silly, don't do that

[Crybaby Bunting]

I was sure both ITV and BBC said they were kicking off Euro 2008 at 5pm Saturday >_<

England aren't playing at all and I can't wait. The BBC/ITV might actually cater towards those of us actually interested in the football instead of the INGERLUND bandwagon jumpers this time around.

[Guest Kou]

So I was looking at the Canadian TV schedules for Euro 2008, shame the England games aren't being carried over here.

[Clawson]

In all seriousness Kou, how does the schedule look over here? I know TSN and Sportsnet are teaming up again which means more Vic Rauter and Gerry Dobson crossovers which is always a good thing.

[Guest Kou]

I haven't looked at it yet and I'll be camping this weekend anyways. I figure it's going to be a split when there's two games on. One on TSN one on Sportsnet. Then TSN probably showing the other game as a repeat right after.

[Clawson]

Yeah I checked and they're splitting off days until the 14th. There is only a possibility of missing a match on the 15th where you get to choose between Portugal and Switzerland or Turkey and Czech Republic.

[Dan]

GO SWEDEN.

I'M PUMPED.

Eh, I've got two TVs so I'll just watch both games at once.

[Clawson]

I love how TSN is showing old school games. Watching the extra time of Portugal-England in 2004 right now.

[Kaney]

GO SWEDEN.

I'M PUMPED.

Thanks to the random draw on my works football sweeps, I am now supporting Sweden for this tourny. Lets go Henrik >_>

That's the only thing missing from Euro 2008, England choking in a Quarterfinal. Possibly from a horrid Beckham spot kick.

[Guest Dr. Potato Head]

And in case you don't get Sportsnet/TSN (Basic Cable in Brantford, for one, doesn't include TSN), the game that each network doesn't carry live is replayed in prime time most nights.

Also, the big story of the tournament is clearly the return of Vic Rauter to our television screens for the first time since he inexplicably did a weekend SportsCentre a few weeks back. I Vic Rauter.

[Clawson]

I still don't know how TSN hasn't realized that everybody in this country loves Vic Rauter. I marked out for that Sportscentre.

[Guest Dr. Potato Head]

Kou and I were discussing this a few days ago - TSN needs to devote an hour a day to "Vic Rauter presents", where they send him to whatever sporting event they can come up with. I would honestly tolerate a horrible-quality product if Vic Rauter was doing the announcing.

[Clawson]

I'd watch the WNBA if Rauter was commentating.

[Guest Dr. Potato Head]

I'd watch Toronto-area junior high school dodgeball if Rauter was commentating. I'm actually serious.
