  1. That's how it works in the UK. A proper commentator does the main work with an ex-player making comments when needed
  2. Football - Men's Tournament So in 1908 and 1912 were dominant but their opposition was weak, in the 20s and the of 2004 were great too. But for me the Mighty Magyars of in Helsinki were one of the 2-3 best teams in history, even if they never won the World Cup. To be honest, I can't imagine anybody voting for another team and if you did you're wrong. Volleyball, men's tournament Not a sport in which I can claim to be an expert in but I'll go for here Volleyball, women's tournament Again not a sport in which I can claim to be an expert in but luckily of the 90s were so good it makes an easy choice Fencing - Women's Team Foil Tough choice between and but Italy were a little more dominant in their wins Fencing, men's Team Sabre. Has to be especially the 1952 team which won every match very easily
  3. You've just reminded me of the Syrian referee at the 1994 World Cup. Couldn't have been a bigger clown if he wore a bright red nose and giant shoes.
  4. Astonishingly the 3rd sports star to die of the same disease in 5 days. Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir
  5. A round up of the Bobsleigh/Skeleton World Cup in Canada so far Men's skeleton GOLD Marcus Wyatt(first WC win of career) BRONZE Matt Weston (3rd WC podium) 15th Laurence Bostock (best WC finish - although since there were only 15 starters it's not much of an achievement) Women's Skeleton SILVER Brogan Crowley (first WC Podium) 14th Laura Deas Women's Monobob No entry Men's 2 man bob SILVER Hall and Taylor (Hall's 9th WC Podium, Taylor's 4th - equals GB's best finish in 2 man since Nick Phipps won a WC race in 1985)
  6. There's a British documentary about an English rugby player who has ALS / MND / Lou Gehrig Disease (if you want to know all the disease's names). It's brilliant TV but it's very tough to watch it.
  7. Spanish boxer Enrique Rodriquez, bronze medalist in Munich 1972, died a day earlier from the same disease
  8. 60 years ago, Walter Winterbottom, the coach of the England team predicted that an African nation would win the World Cup by the end of the 20th century. Maybe he picked the wrong century...
  9. If only they had changed the name of their country to Canadaiye, they might be world champions...
  10. England-Iran - audience of nearly 8 million in the UK in the middle of the afternoon. USA-Wales - 9 million in the evening
  11. Re - the women. You mean qualify for the semi-finals or qualify for the World Champs?
  12. Well, Uruguay had beaten Brazil in Sao Paolo only 2 months before the WC Final in 1950.
  13. The Statistics people are saying it's the 3rd biggest upset in World Cup history. The two more shocking results are USA 1 England 0 in 1950 and North Korea 1 Italy 0 in 1966.
  14. Yes, it's an old tweet but still funny...
  15. Great rugby tackle by the Iranian defender...
  16. If this was rugby the goalkeeper would have a red card...
  17. Also remember that Ecuador were fined for using falsified documents to ensure one of their players was allowed to play for them.
