There are some seriously competitive games througout those group phases... So now comes the turn for all the American folk to come and talk about how much they will dominate

If you have any queries on the format of the competition, feel free to ask.

It's not too bad actually since they are six hours ahead of CET and one more ahead of the UK. 9 am is pure madness though, I don't think I'm going to stay up that long or get up early since it's not the NBA Finals.

Porn_Player

If they tip off at 9am wouldn't that make it around 3pm tipoff for you?

We will be easily catching the first four games each day but the last two will be battles against the will to sleep

A horable thing has happened. I may not have internet or tv during the Olympics. Is there any way to get the games and watch them later. In 06 media zone had a package that allowed you to watch the world championships whenever. Is there any hope?

Where are you going? The freekin amazon

I will go ahead and look into it for you..
