The NON-SPOILER'd Which DVR'd World Cup Game should I watch thread?

Butter · 06-22-2010, 11:16 AM

Set up my DVR to tape all 4 World Cup games today. So, not looking for spoilers here, please.

Out of the 2 from this morning, which was the more entertaining/competitive game to an impartial observer?

France v. South Africa
OR
Mexico v. Uruguay

Although I suppose I'm not completely impartial, as I wouldn't mind a good ol' French beatdown, but you get my point.

I know that watching one game will spoil the outcome of the other, so I would just like to know which one I should watch.

Thanks!

I mostly watched the Mexico game and it was very entertaining.

I can't figure out a way to word my response to this question without giving away the outcome.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 06-22-2010, 11:22 AM

They were both entertaining.

cartman · 06-22-2010, 11:25 AM

Yeah, can't go wrong with either one. They did a pretty good job of providing updates on the games opposite the one being watched.

Damn. Tough to do without spoilerizing anything.

Mexico v. Uruguay was very good. More total goals scored in RSA vs. France though.

Good thread. I only taped two games today (forgot that two at a time would be on), but I think it's a good idea to keep this going for the next three days.

I thought they were both kinda booring

cthomer5000 · 06-22-2010, 02:56 PM

I'm saying this before the game even end, so there is less implied spoiler-ing than usual.

South Korea-Nigeria is definitely the pick from today's late games.

cthomer5000 · 06-23-2010, 07:32 PM

I kind of forgot because i've been doing most viewing live... but ESPN3.com archives all the games and there are no spoilers. So there is always the DVR + computer route.

But i know ESPN3 is a bitch since it's internet provider dependent. I didn't have access to it until the last few months.

ESPN3 sometimes has the issue of showing you spoilers on the front page, tho. Not on ESPN, but I mean the front page for ESPN3 by what pictures they show, etc

SI

SI

I've never had that problem. The pictures they show are from earlier games in every instance i've ever seen (as in, for the Italy-Slovakia game, they just choose some random recent Italy picture to display)

Of the early games you want to watch Ivory Coast vs. North Korea actually.
