Topic: Football Things on TV

[Keefaz]

Thought it'd be nice if we had a thread for football programmes, especially now it's WC time and there are lots of interesting things about.

I noticed tonight (1 June) there are:

BBC3, 20:00 - The World Cup's Most Shocking Moments
Richard Bacon and guest presenter Peter Crouch look back on the 50 greatest shocks in the history of the World Cup, covering the last six tournaments and including moments such as Maradona's `Hand of God', Zinedine's Zidane's headbutt and England's penalty pain. Featuring accounts from people who were there.

More4, 22:00 - The Power of the Game
As well as following the qualification campaigns of South Africa, Iran and the USA for the 2006 World Cup, Michael Apted looks at the difficulties Iranian women supporters face in watching football matches live, how apartheid still affects the sport in South Africa and how the Americans are trying to overcome apathy to football, or soccer as they know it, at home.

The Power of the Game sounds canny.

[Foluwashola]

Guest presenter Peter Crouch? I sense it will be very  -worthy.

Aye, it'll be pap. The other thing looks grood, though.

[Pilko]

Crouch presenting? That'll be class.

There's that Piers Morgan in South Africa thing, dunno when it's on though.

Crouchy is possibly my favourite footballer comedy wise, always make's me laugh

[Liam Liam Liam O]

There's that World Cup tournament thing starting soon too.

[Fugazi]

Football shows on BBC3 are always s****.

I think there's the offical world cup 2006 film stiaght after that.

Ah right. Whats that about? Think its worth a watch?

Crouchy is possibly my favourite footballer comedy wise, always make's me laugh

Yeah i like him aswell, he is funny and doesn't seem to be a typical footballer who is rapped up in his own self importance and he actually has a personality.

[Fugazi]

ESPN Classic have been showing the official FIFA World Cup films/Classic Matches recently, definitely worth catching.

[Ice__Mag]

Just been watching the england v argentina game from 2002. Butt had a stormer, didn't put a foot wrong!

Seems a very sound bloke.

[Mr. Snrub]

Soo.. the world cups most shocking moment, and they don't even show it because it's an oh so offensive headbutt..

[Pilko]

Pleased I gave it a miss now.

[Keefaz]

Not bad this if anyone's watching on More4. Landon Donovan said he'd rather beat Mexico than qualify for the WC.

[Oakie Doke]

The BBC3 thing shocking moments was actually pretty good. Crouch was hilarious.

"What would you be if you weren't a footballer?"

Crouch: "Probably a virgin"

[Heneage]

I'd seen the More4 piece before.

In all honesty it left me with a real dislike for Landon Donovan, I appreciate he may have since changed but he came across as incredibly lazy and arrogant. He openly claims was happy to play in MLS over Germany, which is fine, but the fact he so openly claimed he would have made it, and been a success. It was almost like he just didn't want to put the work in, which is sad, he seems to have enjoyed his time at Everton, and I can see him trying to get back to Europe post World Cup.

[Ketsbaia]

The BBC3 show was class  Crouchie has a future in comedy......."The Crouchie and Stephen Merchant Show"

He actually say that?  That's ace.

[Keefaz]

That World Cup's Most Shocking Moments is repeated tonight at 21.50 on BBC3.

Aye, not on the show last night but in an interview a few year ago.
