Not sure if you meant 'off tune' ie warbled. Off tube makes me think of someone talking out their arse.

I'm streaming via Wiziwig so can't really hear the commentary tbh, just have a low opinion of ITV!

Nice, if you didn't explain it, it would have haunted me till tommorrow.

Off-tubing is a term I learned on a forum while searching for a solution to my satellite problem.

It's when commentators aren't actually at the studium, but in front a computer watching the match in the TV studio.

Anyone know the average age in this World Cup? Seems like most teams giving a lot of youngsters a chance, Brazil, Croatia, Netherlands, a few from Australia

 

[RichieS]

Australia would be good value for a point here.

No idea but I'd tend to agree, the football world is so much smaller now. I remember growing up and there seemed to be so many more "stars". Even in the lesser known teams, there was more mystery, bahhhhhh I'm old lol.

Definitely agree it feels smaller. I remember even as recently as '94 that you'd get some total unknowns in some squads. Now everyone plays for clubs in a small number of countries.

Tim Cahill has now scored in 3 consecutive world cups - what an Aussie legend!

That's three more than Rooney.

 

[Chris12]

Lloris could learn something from this Aus GK in regards to distribution!

 

[Donki]

I think I mean there is no mystery anymore, I'm 32 I remember Hagi, Stoichkov, Baggio, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo the list goes on back in that day you didn't really know them and it was amazing watching them I luved Romania in the And Hagi. It's not quite so surprising now.
