lampard10 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 We musn't shout about England yet now it seems Rooney is out. What was the idiot thinking, playing as hard as that? He very nearly put paid to Terry's chances as well as his own. Ok, it's good we have a couple of players that give 150% in all situations, but surely a little bit of thought comes into it.

Fast Eddie Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 England to win it, for me. Rooney's injury just gives the rest a chance. Not much of one though! The mighty Peter Crouch will come in and lay the opposition defences to waste. I can't wait for us to reclaim our rightful crown as the finest footballing nation on the planet Did i really see some people suggesting that USA or Australia will make it through to the last eight? Behave, neither of them will get out of the group stages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 As I stated in a previous topic.ALL THE WORLD CUP GAMES ARE BEING SHOWN LIVE ON THAI TV. THAT MEANS IF YOU HAVE UBC, THE COMMENTARY WILL BE IN ENGLISH. Blimey I feel a bit hoarse now. I hope you are right but if you remember the last World Cup, Thailand took a very nationalistic approach and refused to allow English language commentary on the state channels, even on UBC. I can't remember whether they showed the matches with ads taking up most of the screen every five minutes or not. Of course, the expert summarising at half time and after the game will only be in Thai, the presenters decked out in this years favourite line in tracksuits. If you are watching in bars, it'll be worth looking out for those with satellite or cable as the African coverage will probably be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here up in the cool north most of us has Dynasat with DreamTV. And who is winning the World Cup? 1. Sweden 2. Italy 3. Brazil No, I am not from England (thank God)!

Well, looking at your profile name "Svenivan" as well as your #1 to win the World Cup you must be Swedish. Dream on man...dream on. BTW: I'm not English nor Swedish nor Italian nor Brasilian...

Momenthai Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm not sure who is right as regards to whether or not there will be English commentary for the World Cup games but a European friend of mine who was born in Thailand and has lived here fora bout half his life thought that there wouldn't be English commentary and in any case I don't have a UBC box (I have the UBC channels piped in direct to my TV) Therefore does anyone know if any of the bars in Bangkok will stay open for the late games? I know most bars are supposed to close at 1am but I would have thought it must be worth their while to open for the late England games even if they have to incur some off the book expenses!!

Sing_Sling Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Rooney and Owen fit for the WC? I'd actually out more faith in Crouch. Sweden to win? US and OZ? Spain? Outside chance indeed!
