at the risk of sound misogynistic, who is that stupid #####?
Crouch, breakout player??? does ESPN love to go out and find stupid analysts? don’t they find a good one by mistake?

i like the other guys’ picks. Messi is going to have agood tournament if Aimar and Riquelme do their work

I think Crouch is capable of having a very good tournament. He’s a streaky player hitting form.

Who do you like here? I pick Poland.

Maybe not. Maybe it just crashed espn for firefox.

I agree ESPN’s soccer coverage sucks. TSN’s is actually quite good, Dick Howard, Craig Forrest…

The one and only Canada reference!

Except probably some OWen HArgreaves related ones.

The problem with Crouch is movement, and really his body strength is on the lower side too. He will get bulled around by the stronger defenders.
I never thought much of Niall Quinn, but I might just take Quinn over Crouch.
Who was that 7 ft striker from Czech? his name started with K i think.

I never seen Ecuador play..so no idea :( If they play exciting football, then them, no matter if they win or lose

Well, the seattle times had an article the other day on 10 players who were poised to become household names. The list includes Henry, Rooney, and ronaldihno. Now, I’m not saying the espn person isn’t stupid, but she’s not saying anything dumber than what a ton of people across the country are saying, #### everyone else in the world already knows.

In case you wanted to make yourself dumber:

do you remember the outrage / admiration in the brit press when Hargreaves turned up out of nowhere to play for Bayern I think?
Hargreaves is canadian?

Is the cup on cbc in canada? I might end up watching it there instead of on abc tomorrow morning if it is. And I get that at my house, so I wouldn’t have to go over to the gf’s house to watch the games that are on espn.

After some googling, it appears that it isn’t on cbc. Damn.

They showing the world cup on abc? that would be nice.

awesome sports weekend. Federer v Nadal, world cup, college regionals and NBA finals!
pity for espn that they dont have poker or paintball to show

4-5-1 for Poland v 4-4-2 for Ecuador

early play in the ecuador half

awesome, the ecuador goalie has the flag face painted!

that was a horrible horrible free kick from a very good position.

EGADS
against the run of play..poland was sleeping

Poland looks just awful.

How the heck did the USA lose to these guys in ‘02?

this has been a sloppy match!
i am just trying to will myself to the gym before i spend another weekend in an unhealthy manner…
sadly my mind control forces are not in top shape either!

ESPN is just dying. Anyone got another site for a gamecast -type thing?

I never doen gamecast, but i get my football news from soccernet
they have gamecast too i think

http://www.soccernet.com

Deadspin.com’s liveblogging it.

Football365.co.uk has a decent gametracker, though it’s nowhere near as good as ESPN’s.  (When ESPN’s gametracker is working, of course.)

Good lord, Tommy Smyth is awful.  I wonder how much we’d have to pay him to stop talking.

I went to the bbc one. Hopefully that’ll stay afloat for the next two hours.
