Mike Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Outstanding day of football marred only by the fact that Towelie accurately predicted the amount of goals scored, and is smearing smug all over my PM page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You can see the ball behaves oddly, though. Doesn't seem to bend or dip properly at all. Maybe it's the altitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best asking a German on that one, see if its acting the same here as they've had in the last 6 months. Have watched some Bayern matches last season in which the ball was used. I really don't think I saw anything which would be "strange" about the ball. It seemed normal all the time tbh. And no one of the Bayern players complained about it either. I somehow think that strange behavour of the ball has more to do with the altitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that he didn't quite look as comfortable speaking to ordinary folks out in the townships as he does in the studio. Top man though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Baker seems to be missing the fact that Uruguay have a better goal difference than Mexico. France would need an even bigger swing to go through. And they'd play the Argies anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
