maybe Maradona ?

Caniggia was my favourite.

Which leads me to this rather wonderful footballing moment on youtube

Group D should be a lot of fun. Portugal should run away with it, but the battle for 2nd is what will really be interesting. I'd love to see Mexico finish without a single goal!

I fear that the Ukraine will follow the same route Poland did in 02, ripping through qualifying rounds and then choking on the world stage. I love the way Tunisia plays, and hope they move on as well.

NFL Network is broadcasting World Bowl XIV live right now.

It's my favorite NFL Europe team, the Amsterdam Admirals, versus the Frankfurt Galaxy.

It started at noon eastern & right now there's ten minutes left in the 4th quarter & the Galaxy are winning 12-7.

Frankfurt has possession & are milking the clock down to victory.

C'mon Amsterdam. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. They have a Safety named Atari Bigby.

---

Frankfurt just got a field goal. There's 4 minutes left & the lead now is eight points, 15-7. Things aren't looking too good.

---

Allen to Fulton, first play, first down & a marvelous catch & a first down.

Handoff to Charger Larry Croom who broke through the secondary & was going all the way for a TD, but he stumbled because he got ahead of his feet. Damn! Another first down though.

Allen to Lucas. Great catch & yet another first down. They are now inside the twenty-five.

Oh shit, Allen just got buried by a blitz. One of their linemen, King, got injured on the play trying to prevent the sack. They lost eleven yards.

After at least five minutes, he's still down on the field & only just now being carried off in a stretcher. Ouch!

Damn, the whole rosters of both teams & an ambulance are down on the field. They say King is conscious though & that he's been able to move his arm & legs, so at least that's a good sign.

Well, the Admirals did have some momentum going. The ambulance is still on the field & this had been at least a twenty minute delay now whioch is the longest interruption of game due to an injury that I've ever witnessed.

2nd & 21. Allen takes off with the ball himself & gets the 10 yards back, but just a yard short of a first.

3rd & 11. Allen goes for the end zone & no reception & no flags. This is about over now.

4th & 11...same thing. that one was really close, but the game is, for all intents & purposes, over now.

The Galaxy get the ball back with less than two minutes & instead of running out the clock they go all out adding insult to injury (literally) with a few big plays & get yet another touchdown to officially make this one a 22-7 rout.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.27.2006, 01:27 PM

I wasn't too sure many people watched that. How many teams do they have now? I remember when FOX used to carry those games, and there were only six teams maybe?

atari 2600 · 05.27.2006, 02:12 PM

there's still only 6 teams

Amsterdam Admirals · Cologne Centurions · Rhine Fire · Frankfurt Galaxy · Hamburg Sea Devils · Berlin Thunder

Mexico is playing France in soccer right now.

I hope that's a good game - the excellent Zinedine Zidane is captaining France, in his 100th international appearance.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.28.2006, 11:28 AM

Lots of friendlies this weekend, with some interesting results.

Mexico was beaten for the first time in ten match, thank you for ending that one France.

A very nice goal too. The Hungarian goal was a great strike.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.30.2006, 07:47 PM

I just logged in. Your team is killer!

I didn't see any of the goals, just a small report on Sky Sports. They never show enough highlights.

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 07:53 PM

Nothing wrong with your team - I almost included Ibrahimovoch, too - great player.

Why has BAllack got a big gold 'M' by him?

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.30.2006, 08:02 PM

Because he is the captain.
