If the oppo are anything like the Serbs in the Gangs of Oz programme, then they will be doing a lot of shooting

I'm keen to have a look at the Slovakia vs Cameroon game beforehand to see what these Slovaks are like.

Cheers. Anyone tried using the bet365 service?

just tested it - seems alright. Can't make it full screen, however. (you can zoom in then click standalone player which makes it about 3/4 screen though)valeo2010-05-29 23:32:11

Nelsen gets a mention in the programme along side Samuel Eto'o.
Near new stadium but a bit filthy.
Slovakia & Cameroon out on the pitch for the last 20.
Dominant colour in the crowd is Serbian (white plus blue & red)

They pass it around pretty well. Just sitting back now and playing on the break - Cameroon getting back into it. Keeper looks a bit shaky with the low and hard shots - not sure if it's their 1st choice keeper or not

Czech Republic and Slovakia are gonna make a joint football league.  12 Czech teams, 6 Slovak teams.  A no no I reckon.  SLOVAKIA OUT!

Slovakia look pretty decent. They hold the ball well.

Well based on the first half, WE could beat this Cameroon team
their standout player Miroslav Stoch FC Twente with pace, combined nicely with Kopunek- Spartak on the left Midfield Kucka - Sparta has a nice cross
Slovakia were weak on their right. I can see us slicing through them. Their goalie doesn't really control the ball and backs like kick the ball away rather than pass it up field.
So feeling good.

Cameroon dont look that bad. Just lacking up front a bit without Eto'o

Stopped watching end of the 1st half though

this.

They've had a decent share of the ball, but all they do is knock it round their backline a bit, and as soon as they go forward, they give it away cheaply. Every time.

1-1. Possible weakness is Slovaks quality dealing with aerial balls.

That would be good news for us. The goal was a header I assume?

Scrappy goal from Cameroons1-1.
Our crosses are much better than theirs.

I truly believe we can pull it off and beat Slovakia.

I've just tuned in and watching Millwall v Swindon while I wait for AWs at 2215. Other options are Poland v Finland or Russia Beach v Poland Beach (wonder if either of them are near China Beach)
 
Bit choppy at the moment.
