Live Commentary on this game on the above site at the moment.

Funny listening to Americans commentating on football.

The Chelsea "outside backs" etc

Ruu_Old

Ugh, any idea how the commentators were?

"zero-zero, a tie!"

ro2

"Joe-say Mourinho" and "Are-gen Robben" :rolleyes:

APM

"Ricardo Coorvollo"

"on the 18" - 18 yard box

"on the 6" - 6 yard box

"hustle"


reminds me of Boston goals on soccer am except worse

I'm watching it on ESPN. At least Tommy Smith isnt commenting. That guy is unbearable. Worst is the US commentators when they're shouting "That's a PK man" aaagh

cousin_borat

1-0 MLS Lovely finish, he got goal of the season last year

APM

Joe Cole went off injured?

Commentator said something about him not being hit as hard since he got hurt by a page 3 girl's boyfriend in a London club last year....must've been a hard knock!

Jose is "Joe-Say" in Portuguese and is "Ho-say" in Spanish.

On the game, nice to see Chelski lose against a bunch of guys who never played together before. Yeah yeah yeah, we'll hear about the 'first game', 'rusty','new player gelling', 'friendly' excuses from the Chelski apologists now. But they shouldnt have lost to the MLS All-Stars.

Nice to see Ronnie O'Brien get a run out, almost scored too if not for Terry's block. Nice tackle by Ricardo Clark on Cole

On the commentators, yeah it's always fun to laugh at the US, but the terminology is just different. The stuff that gets me is that Dave O'Brien and his co-commntators e.g. Wynalda and especially Balboa NEVER STOP yapping about useless stuff all the time. Just shut up!

are all teh Chelsea players shaving their heads to look like Maureen?

is this the same Ronnie O'Brien of internet and Juve fame from about 5 years back?

Vokes

Yup, Ronnie O'Brien (from Bray) formerly of 'Boro, Dundee Utd and Juve :eek:

iregk

excellent, always wondered what happened to him after the email to vote for him as Juve's best youth player. Think he also ran Hitler and Bill Gates close in the Time magazine man of the century awards...
