Just had a check, it's still 0-0 between Uruguay and Paraguay. Gaston still benched. Fans online calling for him to come on though. "Is it too early to ask for Gaston?" - "Gaston is 100x the player of Lodeiro, get him on" - etc.
Some comments since then: "I believe that in less than five minutes Gaston Ramirez earned the position" "Gaston Ramirez is a pump please **** me!!!!!!!" "They sound all smoke detectors at the stadium. Do not worry, there is a fire: I enter Gaston Ramirez"
GOLAZO!!! Uruguay 1-1 Paraguay. Benitez scores with 5 minutes left... One-on-one after a flick on, just passed into the net, over the onrushing keeper.
One of the commentators I'm listening to on the stream is obviously not English, which is quite understandable, as this is a South American game being covered. His co-commentator must be English, as he has practically no accent and his choice of words is quite appropriate. In contrast, the non-English commentator I'm referring to is coming out with a few choice little phrases, which obviously work in his original language but are very clunky in English. Quite interesting to listen to. Oops, Benitez makes it 1-1
Nothing in particular that I can remember, just a general smug belittling and snide gags about how poor they are etc.
They need to be officially told where to get off. I thought professionals were all about respecting the opposition. They're a poor example for the young.
Towsend was saying how crap they were at marking and how even teams that poor should know better. Not like they have real jobs to do as well is it andy.......
Now if Rickie Lambert had been playing and scored a hat-trick, things would have been different. I could have probably put up with that trumpet band, for one.
I'm almost glad that Rickie didn't get called up, even if he bagged a few it would just be 'Oh well it was only San Marino he's still just an old lump'. Now his late emergency call-up followed by a World Cup Golden Boot will be all the sweeter!
Seems Bale got subbed at HT because he had a virus. Scottish medical staff must`ve doctored his drink bottle.
