Here are some funny quotes from the commentators we had on TV here in England....... >> "Pires has got something about him, he can go both ways depending on who's facing him" - David Pleat >> >> "Batistuta gets most of his goals with the ball" - Ian St John >> >> "The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game" - Kevin Keegan >> >> "Moreano thought that the full back was gonna come up behind and give him one really hard" - Big Ron >> >> "Adams is stretching himself, looking for Seaman" - Brian Moore >> >> "I wouldn't be surprised if this game went all the way to the finish" - >> Ian St John >> >> "Apart from their goals, Norway haven't scored" - Terry Venables >> >> "The Croatians don't play well without the ball" - Barry Venison >> >> "It had to go in, but it didn't" - Peter Drury >> >> "That's lifted the crowd up into the air" - Barry Davies > >> "He never fails to hit the target. But that was a miss." - Bobby Robson >> >> "Batistuta is very good at pulling off defenders" - Kevin Keegan >> >> More Kevin Keegan (retired footballer/active TV audience annoyer) >> specials: >> >> "Only one team can win this game....and that team is England", followed >> by Brian Moore "But wait a minute, here's Dan >> Petrescu...................." >> >> "Chile have three options - they could win or they could lose" >> >> "That would have been a goal if the goalkeeper hadn't saved it" >> >> "I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's completely different" >> >> "A tremendous strike which hit the defender full on the arm - and it nearly came off" >> >> Some Big Rons: >> >> "Zidane is not very happy, because he's suffering from the wind" >> >> "He dribbles a lot and the opposition don't like it - you can see it all over their faces" >> >> "They've picked their heads up off the ground and they now have a lot to carry on their shoulders" >> >> "Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw" >> >> "He sliced the ball when he had it on a plate" >> >> "I'm afraid they've left their legs at home" Tony

Hi xyzebra and all Soccer fans I am trying to start this thread up again... Tomorrow Bayern - Barcelona for Champions League on ESPN. Nice to see 2 hrs of English soccer every Sunday from 7pm to 9pm on Fox Sports Channel. DC United lost the championship...el diablo disappeared. Chicago deserved to win it all. It was sad to see Arena crying about the referee afterwards. This tells me the guy is not a good looser...at the same time he hates to loose. So from the University of Virginia to DC United (the team with the most talent in MLS) and now in the US National Team. I wish him the best for everyone's sake in this country but I am afraid he is not the one to take US Soccer to the next level. Cya George
