With two games on at the same time, I want to watch one game (Argentina v. Panama) and watch the USA v Mynamar match later.

I have Sky but not MySky.

However, Sky are not repeating ANY games whatsoever.

Very poor....

They have all their extra pop-up channels -  but no football on any of them.

Two of the pop-up channels are not being used at all today until 10.30 pm and 12.30 am

Sky are such wonkers !!!

Could well have equalised, Myanmar started & finished the game well, but US pulled their defence apart at times. Myanmar showed they are a good team. Can certainly throw away the thinking of 'draw good result for Ukraine & NZ because they'll both beat Myanmar to qualify'. Not so sure Myanmar will lose their next 2.

I take it that you work for Sky...

Then again, my criticism tends to be balanced by the fact that I give Sky lots of free publicity on the tournament TV Coverage thread I started including details of Sky's current $5 offer for Sky Sport and free MySky for four months offer in June:

http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/categories/fifa-u20-w...

Just frustrated at the poorly thought out coverage - nothing directed at you personally.

No replays of any matches at all until Wednesday I see from the link that you post.

First four days of the tournament with no replays and lots of games on at the same time.

Despite Sky having lots of pop-up channels lying unused much of the time.

don't worry when you work for SKY you tend to develop a thick skin pretty quickly and learn not to take it personally.

I don't know the reasons behind no replays for the 1st round - I'm nowhere near broadcast so I can't even begin to explain it either.  

I was tongue in cheek with my comment as well.  I know you delivery a fairly well rounded point of view.

FYI - MY SKY is awesome - you should invest :-)

This group is hard to pick.

If NZ beat Mynamar and draw with or don't lose heavily to USA, we are in with a real chance of making the next round.

I think any result is possible between Ukraine and the USA.

4 points will get us through unless we finish in 4th.

Arsenal, "one of the top clubs in Europe". If you mean one of the top 16 clubs in Europe, then sure.

Whilst I agree that NZ was pretty ordinary last night , don't underestimate how good the Yanks were. Didn't have my programme with me so didn't know which of the yanks was which , but they had half a dozen players that really caught the eye. I got dizzy watching some of their strikers footwork from the touchline so god knows how some of how defenders felt ! I wonder if Edge needed a neck brace after last night.

Tactically we just seemed to have a plan of lumping it forward to whichever oompa looompa was on  the time.  Not sure where we are going to get a goal from as we don't seem to have any strikers in this age group.

The USA forwards really made our defenders look ponderous at times - big difference in athleticism between someone like Mitchell and the USA CB. 

haven't seen any of the other teams in the flesh but the USA look pretty good.

Those odds for a USA win look extremely good. I'm getting on that! 

Need to check match squads to see if they are playing the B team.
