Confederations Cup

[Crybaby Bunting]

I think Italy Vs USA is on BBC Three (or four) but it'll probably also be through the red button.

I'm just annoyed I can't set my freeview box to record the stream through the red button at 3pm each day >_<

[King Ellis]

Do you not have the interactive bits as their own channels? On mine the BBC ones are 301 and 302.

[King Ellis]

Bloody hell, Egypt just scored 2 within seconds of each other. 3-3 now.

[Hobo]

Egypt 3-3 Brazil!

I kind of expected Egypt to be less than a pushover, unlike the RTE commentators it seemed.

[ACCBiggz]

I laughed at the heated argument that it wasn't a hand ball when the guy blatantly did it. I'll give him an A for effort though.

[therockbox]

He's been taking lessons from Steven Taylor.

[Hobo]

....and Egypt have lodged a complaint about the Brazilian penalty due to Howard Webb "illegally" using video evidence to award it.

Oh, Howard Webb, it's always you.

[King Ellis]

Why have Italy stolen Uruguay's kit?

[Hobo]

The Bees sound angry tonight. Also Jozy Altidore, may very much be able to score if the US play the right ball. He's troubling the Italians.

[Chris the Human]

Jeez, really wasn't expecting that much fight from Egypt. How are they going in continental qualification? Would be good to see a 'new' African nation in the World Cup next year.

Stop jinxing him!

[Hobo]

Red card... apparently.

[King Ellis]

Donavan!

I thought Jozy had dived at first but on the replay you can see the defender kick at him, he just kinda makes a meal of it afterwards.

[Meacon Keaton]

USA! USA! USA!

[Crybaby Bunting]

They've won the African Cup of nations twice in a row, and mostly play that well because half their national team play for the same team in Egypt. They've just been unlucky in World Cup qualifiers once they come up against a team that doesn't just play 'get the ball to our star player at EVERY opportunity' and bothers to pass

[Hobo]

Rossi scores a fantastic goal but boo-urns!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

So far the officials have looked terrible in this tournament. And that fucking noise in the stadium is terrible, why would you even allow people to make this noise? Is there something wrong with old fashion cheering and booing? Good god.

Anyway, I knew I loved Rossi for a reason

[Slogger]

The Italian National Football team can drop dead as far as I'm concerned, GO USA!

And you guys are not wrong, That buzzing noise is going to do my head in.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

USA really have looked really average tonight and that's against an Italy side that are far from their best form.

Also, I forgot to add how shit the commentary team are. Do these two commentate every match in this tournament? I cant remember either of their names, but they're both awful. Neither of them seem to have a clue what they're actually talking about and seem to have no proper knowledge outside of the English game.
