Re: WCOOP main event updates?
[ QUOTE ]
To be fair to all parties- it started with them reading an email from a listener and it kind of went from there. [/ QUOTE ] they are in charge of the broadcast and they are the ones capable of 'keeping it going from there'. They are supposed to have the realization that going on and on about that is alienating to some of their listeners and that there are totally different outlets for soccer discussion. What they are essentially saying by continuing to talk about soccer is: "Well, we're kind of bored of talking about this poker game even though it's heads-up for the biggest online prize-pool in history. So since we're bored with poker right now we're going to talk about soccer instead." |

Re: WCOOP main event updates?
Carling Cup is a knockout competition. Also Arsenal aren't fielding a youth team in the premier league, just a young team.
[/ QUOTE ] Exactly, half of the team are first teamers and the other half are young squad players [/ QUOTE ] Lukasz Fabianski, Armand Traore, Justin Hoyte, Philippe Senderos, Emmanuel Eboue, Abou Diaby 64, Alexandre Song Denilson, Lassana Diarra, Theo Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner, Eduardo show me a player from the first XI |

Tournament poker and especially heads-up poker and even more so online poker without seeing holecards IS boring. Whether it's a $5 SnG or the biggest tourney ever. I don't mind them chatting about random stuff at all. Dave and Bart did it all the time on LATB as well. |

"open the media player and put the url into player itself."
I opened the media-player but I don't even see a place where I can paste in the URL. Probably going to give up on getting the stream. |

Eboue would be a regular if fit, Diaby and Walcott are deputies for Hleb and Rosicky, Eduardo and Bendtner are third and fourth choice strikers and Senderos is currently getting a regular start. |

Senderos has played over 100 games for Arsenal. Hoyte has played over 50, Diarra played for Chelsea last year. Theo Walcott cost $24million. Eboue played most of last season as RB. Edwardo cost $14million... do you want me to go on? out of all of them. Fabianski, Song, Traore and Bentner are reserve players |

Re: WCOOP main event updates?
The entire broadcast is hampered from the fact it is broadcast in close to real time and the commentary has been instructed to stay away from strategy talk. One of the fillers they've been trying to use is emails from people listening to the broadcast.
One email asked Daniel what he thought of London etc. Another then gave a shoutout or asked him what he thought about that club. It seemed neither out of control nor prolonged in the context of the entire broadcast. If someone just came in and heard them talking about soccer I could see where it would come across like that. I'm not being an apologist for them. I've listened to the entire final table plus and it really didn't seem that big of a deal. edit: for god's sake stop the soccer talk people. (not you Bob- I think you had valid points- just not maybe the entire context of it.) |
