BearcatSA Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The US back line looks vulnerable. Richards seems a little dodgy, Ream looks slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with this approach is missing the crowd noise. I remember decades ago, the French CBC commentators were on strike (during the NHL playoffs) so they just showed the game with the full crowd noise, rinkside mics, etc and no commentary - best thing ever, I don't understand why in this digital era, we can't have that as an option - I would pay extra to get 'less'!

Cheeta Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Uruguay not really clicking yet. Couple of dangerous spells but passing too often awry. Americans certainly game enough, swinging those counter punches with vigor. Might land one yet. Second half could be fun. Time for (another) Keith's. 74 Whitecap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74 Whitecap Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The referee is fortunate that Tim Ream saved the would-be goal on the quick kick while the ref was handing out a yellow card, that would have been a total gong show. US played hard that half, I guess we will see what they can sustain in the 2nd half. Kusch to the Corner and Cadeau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I experienced the whole of France 98. Had an old school satellite dish and we happened to find the raw live feeds being beamed out of France. Live feeds of every game with no commentary and just stadium noise. It was glorious. Cadeau, BearcatSA and 74 Whitecap 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (few) Premier League games that Amazon had in the UK had multiple commentaries including that option. Not sure if they still do as there was an row about online comments where people were saying they gratefully avoided certain commentators.

eramosat Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Do refs ever re-group after a half of questionable reffing? Maybe not...the tone is set...cards will be at a premium, which is ok, as long as it's uniformly applied. US might test that balance as time goes on, as they are the ones that simply have to. So far, so good as far as entertainment. Both teams are certainly engaged. Viewing experience is improved re camera angles. And I have no problem not listening to anything any commentator ever days. P.S. The other matching starting earlier is utter bullshit. Edited July 2 by eramosat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make them restart the 2nd halves simultaneously like at the Euros WestHamCanadianinOxford, BearcatSA and king1010 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
