I've always found Eurosport commentary to be a bit subdued and low-key. At least they're not taking ad breaks during game-play. I remember Eurosport did that during a live game once.

I think Eurosport do football right, even in German and Russian, they're tv commentators, which means they don't need to talk all the time. We're conditioned by "commentators" who figure they're more important than the game. Ireland are playing some nice football.
the czech midfield is non-existant.
ya, but they could at least sound entunsiastic like they actually want to be there and its not a monday morning after a serious weekend and you would rather be anywhere but work.Quote:

Carruthers having an excellent game. Very skilful player.
Great first half from the Irish lads. This second half is more worrying. They seem to have sit back a bit and let the Czechs back into the game which as history will tell us, can lead to disaster. If they keep up the pressure, they can bury these boys.
1 - 1 now
Balls. 1-1. Header at the back post from a free-kick.
dammit, should have put that out for a corner
Damn 2 v 1 to the Czechs
Ack, 2-1 to the Czechs. Great goal from distance but should never have been allowed the shot in.
Deary f*ckin me. I spoke too soon again.
good goal, great strike, time for the lads to show what they;re made of
i think its their own fault for not trying to close out the gamae and scoring again. we are far better technically than them.
Everything ive seen so far, would suggest otherwise.Quote:

After the first 45 minutes it looked like the Czech were fairly rattled too. Like I said dissappointing but we must show some more mettle against these Romanians in the next match.
