How could you not mention Ireland defeating Pakistan in 2006 followed by the coach turning up dead?

Anyway, hooray for a new thread. Boo to the World Cup being in a time zone that makes it effectively impossible for anyone on US Eastern Time to watch a game.

I will be happy to be the token supporter of India, but I am a filthy American who only support India because that's where I learned the rules of the game, and I'm also woefully uninformed. Why is the team so bad lately anyway?

I found a not-very-legal site which has all the world cup games from 3 different broadcasters..

I was using probably the same one last night. Does it feature a certifiably insane chat room?

It's 3:30 AM and I just got back from watching the first innings of India/Pakistan at a bar here in NYC. I have never experienced anything like it in 28 years of being a sports fan. Nonstop chanting in Hindi for hours, screaming with every boundary, India and Pakistan fans being civil to one another in the midst of all of it. I wish the time zones weren't so awful so I could see the conclusion. It was seriously incredible.

Forgot to post this last night: here is a picture of the bar at 9 PM - 90 minutes before the game started. They were already turning people away.



Side note: Please bring the World Cup back to the West Indies so it's not in an insane time zone for us filthy Americans.

"Calypso cricket" was a derogatory term until the late 70s, and "calypso collapso" would be bandied around.

At least according to this doco, which is cool if you haven't seen it. I note Indian fans are downvoting it because of the 30 seconds it spends talking about an Indian loss.

I figured it was derived from calypso but I hope I wasn't accidentally racist :(
