"Capello thrash Croatia 4-1 in a World Cup qualifier in Zagreb"

Nice avatar - view from the office?

Nice win but really no chance for WC 2010. Brazil or Argentinia - not sure which to back...

He does pontificate ad nauseum.

Perhaps this result will silence that gob-tulipe Croatian coach, Bilic.

The highlights were on Setanta freeview after the game.

Sport-related threads don't seem to flourish on this forum very well. Probably because this industry is largely staffed by the rotund, pale, wheezy, geek kids from school who never got picked for the sports teams (with a few exceptions of course).

Probably coz it was on Setanta and so no-one watched it

Er no - it was because I got tickets to the Portugal-Denmark game since it was being held here in Lisbon....!!

Shame the locals lost!!

Tried that, interested to hear about you syncing the commentary though - the game was being broadcast with about 5 minutes delay from what I could see/hear ...

It was by no means slick

I've got a Roberts DAB radio which lets you pause so I just had to pause it at a point which was well described then watch the pictures until it reached that point, and then un-pause, and occasionally adjust it.

It was on ZDF in Germany after the German game of course.
England football team in playing as a team and looking like footballers Shock horror probe!
One of the best performances from England I have seen in a long time.
They all looked confident on the ball. Passing was accurate and timely. They were constantly looking for ways to break through. Pleasure to watch.

It was on Sopcast from China, which when synced with Radio 5 commentary was very enjoyable to watch

Watched the end after the tense Scotland affair. Good night all round.
