Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

Somehow, ITV4 & Virgin Media have managed to perfect a technology that makes SD look worse than footie used to look like on my old CRT TV from the 90s.

It’s because they don’t have enough bandwidth available – they don’t give much to the crappy channels down the pecking order.

I wonder if I can watch two live text feeds at the same time?

I’m getting my ITV4 from freeview in SD, through my HD freeview box & it doesn’t look too bad

I’m always amazed there are not more swoon based injuries when Pirlo is playing.

Again, for anyone with the technology to disguise their IP address as a Canadian one, CBC.ca is astonishingly good quality, free coverage, with clickable highlights throughout the game.

Has made my working day very difficult over here, the matches are shown at 9am, 12pm and 3pm… 8)

I’ve got the Beeb text feeds on the go at the minute, and really… I think I’d rather have not bothered.

Come on football. This is sooooo boring!

Both games are a bit meh.

Good to see what England can do with no pressure on them 😀

Edit: WTF was that red for?

er – what happened there?

Zzzzz..

Come on Uruguay – punish em!

Ref looks like he is wearing a stab vest.

PS, my wife informs me there’s tennis on the other side.

Are England doing better in that than they are in the football & rugby?

@Jamie pirlo needs an axe, jeans you don’t wash for 6 months and a dog on a string.

There’s always the cricket 😛

They will lose….but bravely.

England look like they’d rather be in the Duty Free, I’m off to watch UR Gay.

Just switched on the laptop and blimey with tackles like these, they should be in STW! Norman Hunter would be enjoying is. Any reds yet?

Looks pretty dire.

There’s always the cricket

Oh heck, that looks grim too!!!

Did Suarez just bite again?

Suarez… back to his old self…

Surely they could just nip this in the bud, by giving Suarez a Mars Bar at half time.

He’s obviously starving.

Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the pitch…

About blummin time!

Ooooooo!

Italy are ****. This game is going to get dirtier.

Here we go…

Suarez defo bit him there I reckon. Mon italy intae these animals! One’ll do it!

Gonna get dirty? Yeah cos its a shining example of sportsmanship so far..

This was always the risk, Italy took trying to play for the draw.

Tasty!

I reckon Suarez is done for the rest of the tournament. Reckon a banning is coming.

Surely you mean “Nommmm”

Hard to tell from this angle but I dont see any teeth on show. You lot just hate him because he’s a “dirty foreign cheat”. Thinly veiled racism at best.

Heh. Ok.

No one biting? 😉 😛

Whatnobeer – f are you gibbering about? Going from your video its pretty clear what he did.

Ciao, Italy.

Godín knows how to score an important goal.

Well, that’s a boring waste of my life that Costa Rica Vs En-ger-land … where is my 3-0? 😡

Should have watched the other match instead with all those biting … 😆

Bye, bye Italy & En-ger-land … how the mighty fall.

ooooh….

Who’d’ve thought Costa Rica & Uruguay would go through?

Not me.

I thought Uruguay might, purely for Suarez, but good to see Costa Rica going through.

My rear mech exploded on the start of my ride this evening so I’m trying in vain to take the piss. Not working very well though.

I is interesting seeing the differing views on that. Thee BBC and ITV had reported as what looked like a bite, other places just reported it as Suarez getting a mouthful of elbow.

Not working very well though.

Bless you for trying.
