Watching the game on tape is not the same. Many employers in the UK are expecting mass absenteeism on Friday when England play Argentina (12.30 p.m.).
Pubs with big screens will be full, and some companies have finally taken the bit between the teeth and started introducing forms of "Flexitime" to ensure that staff watch on their own time, and make up the hours (rather than "phoning in sick")
As for explaining how a nil-nil draw can be a "Good game", I believe that this world cup has produced the longest run of games with no non-scorers!
Congratulations to the USA team, and I hope Agoos doesn't get dropped (or panned by the media) for that single mistake. The rest of the game he played well!.
As for the US media not liking a game with a single, half-time, break; why don't they show the matches letterbox format, they could sell advertising on the rest of the screen!
Cheers
