Great link of the Norway Scotland match
Scotland had a great start but had a man sent off for a second yellow. Norway score from the resulting free kick and then again in the last minute of the first half.
Great half time stuff from Gary Linekar and co on MotD.
Up to the hour mark and still 2-0... make that 3-0
England are on at 3. Still looking for the Mexico US game on the TV. If I don't find it on the TV, I will get it on the computer along with England.
I lost the link that working so beautifully but have another link working from the BBC
England's starting line up
Green
Johnson
Rio
Terry
Cashley
Beckham
Lampard
Barry
Young
Rooney
Heskey
Scotland ten minutes away from losing in Norway for the first time since 1967. The King, Dennis Law, scored a hat-trick in a 4-3 loss
France only beat Faroe Islands 1-0. What a shame!
Croatia could cut the lead to five points if the beat Belarus in Belarus
Come on BELARUS!!
Argentina beat Russia 3-2
Croatia have taken a 27th minute lead... bugger
I have a link going for the England match from Sky on p2p
England wearing all white
Holland wearing all orange
Not sure which coverage this is
the main logo is replaced by smoggy sports!!
A clap of hands all around the stadium for Sir Bobby Robson
Sounds like ITV coverage
We're off
Both teams have 100% record in qualifying
Scotland have let in another
It's all over in Oslo
Not a good result there for the Jocks
Becks has started on the left!!
The Dutch team is pretty much full strength
Last time England and Holland have played that has meant something was the Euro '96!
What are the chances of Stevie G being fit for Costa at White Hart Lane on Sunday?
Bugger!!!!
England have a goal kick, it is short and it gets to Rio and he decides to to a hopeless pass back. Kuyt cuts it out and Holland take the lead
Too casual by Rio... get your finger out!!
Rio getting cheered by the Dutch crowd. He has been their best player!
Still haven't found where the US game will be on TV
ESPN has a SportsCenter Special at 3:30
England haven't shown much
Roon tries to set up Hesky but he was far too far out with a header
Beckham totally fluffs a chance to get a free kick in. Straight to the keeper off the box
Wales have fallen behind at Montenegro
Lamps has England's first shot.
Nice move by Young and Lamps saved by Keeper
Croatia have taken their one nil lead to half time
I lost my link!
Went to atdhe and have the first link working
England appeal for a handball penalty but not given
It did hit the arm... not sure
Becks with a free kick chance. Lamps is standing there too. REALLY FAR OUT!
Becks sets up the ball but Lamps hit it...against the wall
Becks have been running things for England
Barry hits one just over the box.
Brazil have beaten Estonia 1-0 with a goal by Fabiano
Australia have taken the lead in the RoI. Cahill with the goal
ESPN have a show going already for the US match.
Temperature is only 75 in Mexico
Wales two down
N. Ireland and Israel are tied at one
Cahill has doubled the Aussie's lead
RVP hits a shot just wide of Green's right post
Suddenly, England lose the ball again and give away another goal
Green gives the ball to Rio, gives it to Barry and he does his best impersonation of Rio and gives the ball away.
Robben's shot is well saved by Green but Vandervart nets the rebound
SHOCKING by the defenders!
They have scored two from our goal kicks!!
I really cannot believe the two goals Holland have scored!
Roon has a shot easily saved.
England have actually created the most chances
Roon hits one just wide!
the swiss and italians are goalless at half
so are Macclesfield and Leicester
Good performance at half time by England but down 2-0.
Half time analysis
Rio could have reacted quicker and made for his mistake...hopeless. Don't do that in Red please Rio
Come on Belarus... tie it up!
Becks, Heskey and Barry are off
Carrick, SWP and Defoe are the changes
Eduardo scores Croatia's second with 20 to go
Roon sets up SWP.. he should have done better. Wee Mikey would have gotten a shot off
Macedonia have taken a 9th minute lead against Spain
YES!!!
England score a quick goal in the second half
Good finish by Defoe.
The goal started by Green to Rooney to Lamps to Defoe
Hey, mate! I'm here and looking forward to an afternoon of the Beautiful Game.
Belarus get a goal back but Croatia score again
Still no sign of Mexico USA
I've got a Spanish-language link up through Atdhe. I'll keep looking for an Anglo one.
Hey Bob,
have you watched any of England?
Have you found the US on TV?
Just about kick-off time in the Azteca:
Here's the U.S. side:
Howard, Demerit, Cherundolo, Gooch, Bradley, Bocanegra, Dempsey
Donovan, Clark, Ching
So it looks like a 4-5-1 as I predicted but with Ching as the outlet up top, Donovan and Dempsey just behind, Clark and Bradley as the holding mids and four along the back.
Nah, as Gooner posted yesterday, it's only on Telemundo, and I'm at work regardless. I'm on Atdhe.
Carlton Cole on for Roon... save your goals for Sunday Wayne
Here we go! Come on the Yanquis!
I will put on a link for the US game but keep ITV on as well.
Oh, Dempsey was nearly in there and was clattered by the keeper. He got up looking for something but it'll be a cold day in the Azteca before we get a soft pen awarded for us.
Gooch is big and strong holding off Guardado. The pace of this match is exhausting right from the start. It looks as if it's a thousand degrees in the stadium. Bright and sunny. Jesus!
I have an English link for the match
I think it was the second link on atdhe
We've had a good deal of possession in the first five minutes and I like how Bradley is trying to control the pace of the ball. That's crucial.
I have the American commentators
Excellent - the third link on Atdhe has the English-language coverage from mun2 with 'Celo and JP.
Corner for the U.S. swung in and Gooch just can't get it back into the area. It's cleared out.
They're at least better than the rapid-fire Mexicans.
I agree it is cello but I don't think it is JP
I think it is Ian Eagle...pronounced I AN
YES!!!!!!!!!
THE US TAKE THE LEAD!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Davies scores the opener. And Sam's Army are going potty.
Beautiful move there. Bradley into Donovan, who turned well and found Davies in space on the left. His pace took him into the area and he finished lovely with a side-footed effort.
Leeds old boy Milner on for Young
23 minutes to tie it up
Carlton Cole goes just wide!!!
Macedonia have take a two goal lead against Spain
Croatia has beaten Belarus 3-1. Five points behind England
Bags of time to go. I'd still be happy with a draw. They need to keep things tight.
I-an certainly sounds like JP. And who's the third wheel?
Would a win here pretty much guarantee qualification for the US?
Maybe we have a different link
Yet another corner for El Tri. They have to cut those out. they've given the momentum back to the Mexicans in the past five minutes since the goal.
Yeah - pretty much a cinch. We did get the one draw against El Salvador and the loss to Costa Rica, but it's definitely on if they win here.
The U.S. have got to stop giving up the set pieces. Get some possession going again.
nice tackle by Gooch
Just like Bobby Moore and Pele
BUGGER
Nice shot off the crossbar but why give them so much space
Good news in Amsterdam
Milner does well to set up Defoe
2-2
The US has been asking for it!
Should Howard have done better?
England are going for the winner!
Howard couldn't have done anything else with that goal
It dipped just over his finger tips!
Where have you gone Robert?
ooh, Blanco hits one JUST wide
He was offside
Under ten to go in Amsterdam
I was knocked off of this for about ten minutes
Finally we are back
Into injury time in Holland
Good display by England
Should have won it except for those two mistakes by Rio and Barry
Chance for England to get the ball in the box... cleared
All England to get the winner but the final whistle has just blown
Good display
Defoe and Milner played well for England
Now to concentrate on US
Don Fabio seems to know what to say at half time unlike Sven and Steve
Bugger. A student just came by and I missed the Mexican goal.
Bloody Students
2-2 is a serviceable result against the Dutch away, don't you think?
I know, I know....
I think we deserved to win
Both of Holland's goals were complete gifts
I am very happy with the display and result
We were the only winners after 2-2
Bugger, my link just froze
Carlton Cole looked good coming off the bench too
Bugger - I lost the mun2 stream. I'm back on Telemundo.
I can't find an English link
Boca in the book to join the two center backs
Carlton Cole is a donkey!
Half time.
Half way there!
Half-time: 1-1. I'll take that as a full-time score, honestly.
Spain score two quick goals to tie it up with Macedonia
Torres and Pique with the goals
Make that 3-2 Spain
goals in the 52,55 and 56th minutes
I agree with you about CC but he looked good and dangerous when he came on
Fabio explains the Dutch goals as pre-season for the defense
So who's your starting strike partnership for England next summer?
I am not too sure about it
Rooney and ? How about Gerrard playing like he does for Costa with Torres?
I've still got the England like from ITV on
They were impressed with all the substitutes.
Hartlepool just took a 105th minute lead at Coventry in the League Cup
Forest and Leicester are through to the next round
Did they come out with the League Cup 2nd Round draw yet?
I've got a really weird English-language link now. Not American; the commentator sounds almost Dutch but speaking in English, sort of.
Some gamesmanship going on in the Azteca. The Mexicans are keeping the Yanks waiting for them out in the hot sun. Bastards!
Not sure what link I have, it is just video of the stadium
I am watching the Croats' highlights
England are 7 points ahead of Croatia
England P7 Pts 21
Croatia P7 Ptst 14
Ukraine 6 11
Belarus 6 9
Kaza 7 3
Andora 7 0
looking good
I think I have the same link as you
Again, ESPN said it wasn't too hot
only 75
No changes to either side - here we go!
75 in the stadium but probably 90 on the pitch, plus altitude and pollution. I wouldn't want to play in that shite.
Get in there, referee!
The U.S. are giving up way too possession again.
I could see the U.S. losing this one.
Me too
Bags of space for El Tri in midfield. They're passing it around for fun.
Jesus, mark up at the corner, will you! Boca's had a rotten game.
Ooooh, Davies nearly got in there on the end of that long ball from Cherundolo. He's a good outlet player. But they need to get Ching off and put another midfielder on.
The longer that Blanco's on, the happier I am. Nearly an hour gone now.
Bollocks - it's Vela on for Blanco. I was afraid of that.
I'm here...this is an answer to your email
Good - Benni Feilhaber's coming on for Ching. Nice on, Bob. Ching was pants today.
Excellent - good to have you back on.
Vela goes on a frightening run but gets bundled over. That was lucky.
The long ball stuff they're playing is not going to work. They have to keep the bloody ball.
Good tackle - Holden.
What was that clearance from Demerit?!
Are we going to hold on?
What kind of language are we listening to?
I keep hearing perfect English and then gobbledygook
Twenty minutes to play. They need to run the clock down. If Mexico score, I can't see us getting it back.
25 minutes to hold on
It is English but he's very precise when pronouncing the Spanish names. He sounds maybe Brazilian or Portuguese.
I just saw 65 minutes gone. Are you ahead of me
Beautiful day today here - were you in the pool?
Landy should have done more with that one
Good job, ref. Waste some more time.
Beautiful here too but sadly we don't have a pool at the new house
Bugger - now it's Nery Castillo. They're loading up with the quick, clever players. We could really be in trouble.
No pool!????????? I'm not coming then. ;-}
Start digging, mate.
Great cross... almost on to Davies head
Oh, how did Davies miss that header.
Good - I hate that Guardado bloke.
Stay on side Charlie!
I thought you would say that Miguel
What did we call you Pool Boy?
Ooh that was a very close decision
I can't see a bloody think on Mexico's left wing!!!
Twenty minutes to play. Come on!
Free kick chance for Mexico
Not a smart challenge
Bradley's going to see red if he doesn't mind his p's and q's.
Crikey - I thought that that was flying in!
Oh dear - now there's a complete ruck in the center of the pitch.
Torrado and Feilhaber both pick up yellows.
Deflected over the bar and then some argy bargy
Fifteen minutes to play.
What was #7 doing??? Giving him a hug on the ground!
15 to go
That was a chance!
Corner bobbles around and is collected by Howard.
Did Jozy come on?
Hull's star striker Jozy coming on for the goalscorer
Boca hacks Dos Santos.
Mexico aren't very good!
It will be fun watching him for Hull if he gets a game.
No, they rely on home advantage in the Azteca.
US giving the ball away in the midfield. Was that Dempsey with the bad pass?
Two corners come to nothing
COME ON US
Good job Gooch
Got the foul for that!
Under 10 to go
Bugger - that's torn it.
BUGGER!!!!!!!!
That was a great run by Juarez!
Why didn't they stop him!
The sub scores!
Saba - good turn and shot.
How did he have so much space in the box?
Couldn't clear it
We need a goal!
A lot of standing around there by Gooch
The Mexicans are now going to be hurt a lot!
Welcome, Someone!
Yes - expect plenty of rolling around on the pitch now.
Who are you, someone?
Under five minutes - I can't see it.
First I see Scotland lose, now this.
Come on now, who's going to be a hero?
I'm Ed, from Columbus.
Hi Ed
Not very welcoming, UWS. Someone is a Fredonia alum. We haven't met, though maybe some day at a Crew game. I'm only a couple of hours away.
Some decent pressure here. Need. A. Goal. Now.
I was very welcoming!
By the way, I scored a couple of goals against Fredonia in my playing days for Cortland
No need to stick the knife in, UWS.
This ain't gonna happen, is it?
One minute regulation. Glad I'm not at my usual Mexican place tonight. It would be expat bedlam.
No worries. I feel welcome.
Big scramble in the area. Come on!
Into injury time
Isn't that nice of the Mexican to make sure exactly where the ref wanted the throw -in taken from
Yeah - just as well. I hate getting stuck in a minority when my side is losing. I had plenty of dicey matches with an England shirt on in an Irish bar in Boston.
