Sporting Saturday

I did indeed manage to get up before 6 AM in order to watch the England-Paraguay match. Using Skype, cherylmorgan and I watched the match "together" even though she's in the UK right now. There was a time-travel oddity, though: presumably because of something in the way she got the signal on the BBC internet feed, her view of the match was around 15-20 seconds later than mine. That meant that if I saw a big play, I'd react to it before she'd even seen it.

Now I have to run, as Dave Gallaher is waiting at the gate to take us both to the NZ Maori-Ireland A rugby match.

Which TV channel is carrying the World Cup?

This am it was on Channel 7. They said they would also be having games on ESPN and ESPN2. The usual suspects for an ABC series.

All of the World Cup matches will be on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2. See the ESPN SoccerNet World Cup Pages for more details and the schedule.

I listened to a bunch of it on my radio which has a tv feed. Had to actually get up and work at the computer so I turned it off at half time. Sounded pretty interesting though.

I have two grandsons who play hockey now, so I better learn it better. It's actually a fun sport. I don't know why some people claim it is boring.

Really need to change the the scoring to 7 points a goal. That's why US football sounds more exciting.
