Is RPN 9 broadcasting the semi-finals and the final match on a slightly delayed (5:00am?) telecast?  Anybody know if this is true?

Do update us kung totoo nga. I want to watch this. Nagtanong na ako sa Skycable for access to just the semifinals and the finals match and they are still going to charge around 3500 pesos. for basically three games.

something interesting noted by the match announcer in yesterday's semfinal:

Italy have made it to the finals of the World Cup every twelve years since 1970.

In USA 1994, they lost to Brazil after penalties. I still vividy remember that horrible Baggio micrap fom the spot which sailed over the crossbar. It still haunts him to this day, and was the theme of a recent Johnny Walker "Keep Walking" TV spot.

Though there's nothing on the Solar Sports or ClicktheCity websites about this, it's been confirmed by a lot of my friends and people at PinoyExchange that RPN broadcast GER:ITA this morning at around 5:00. I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning if the schedule holds up.

the Sky PPV feed has literally been playng the GER-ITA semifinal ALL-DAY LONG! over and over again. i wouldv'e wished to see Zizou's master class at midfield against brazil again before the other semi.



anyway, upon further inspection, i seem to understand why Dave Odonkor was the most inconsolable man on the pitch after the match. Odonkor was guarding the far post during the corner after Pirlo's goalward strike. this was the same post at whch grosso curled his shot in. If he had stayed nearer the post, instead of wandering out and to the center (where Lehmann already was), while Pirlo was maneuvering at the edge of the box, Odonkor would have been able to safely clear the shot and bring the game to penalties (the 2nd italian goal was all but academic) which favored Germany.

then again, Germany may just have been instinctively pushing for an offside trap, and the speedy Borussia Dortmund winger was just sentimental.

France 1 : Portugal 0

an uninspired match, by most respects. Les Bleus pretty much coasted after Zidane knocks in a penalty in the 33rd minute. Portugal spent the better portion of the night trying desperately to break France's back line, which more often than not consisted of 6-7 men.

but surely, the more deserving team is going to Berlin. despite retaining 59% of ball possession, the Portuguese offense was unconvincing at best. in their desperation, they had resorted to play-acting during the most of the second half, when any player managed to get the ball near the French goal, which neither earned the ire or favor of the referee.

in fairness, Portugal had a couple of great chances in the end. C. Ronaldo struck a decent free kick on goal. Barthez bobbled in onto the head on a free Luis Figo, who then inexplicably sailed it over the cross bar. credit to Portugal's keeper Ricardo though. on top of guessing right on Zidane's penalty (which was too masterfully struck to be saved by anyone), he provided some spunk in the final stoppage time as he participated in two Portugal corners.

Vive le France.

on an interesting note, the match referee waited until the 80th minute to produce the first of 2 bookings, evidently mindful of the fact that 11 players from both teams are riding on yellow cards, which means another one would suspend them from the finals.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has conveyed his intent to explore expanding current regulations to accommodate a 3rd running yellow card to avoid similar incidents in, and leading up to (?) South Africa 2010.

So wonderful waking up to the slightly delayed telecast on RPN 9.  You get a full night's rest, wake up bright and early, basically lock out the world, ditch your celfone and the net and CNN and any other spoiler source and just click the TV on straight to Ch.9 and by God what a way to start the day.  And as everyone else in the house starts waking up and joining in, you get some high intensity viewing going on by halftime. 

So you get to know the results 2 hours late, and there are some ads at inappropriate moments, but what the heck.  I'll take that anytime given the alternatives.

Thank you thank you thank you RPN9!

I was rooting for Orange at the start of the World Cup, now I only have Blue to choose from...

I'll go for the French on this one... Zidane and Henry have been a devastating comnbo for France plus Barthez is solid at the goal... France to win 2-1  :)

I just hate Lippi for trying to ruin Baggio's career before...   >:(

WHAT A DISGRACE!

Zidane throws a blatant headbutt and gets himself sent off, forever tarnshing his career, and possibly France's hope for winning the world cup, as the match goes to penalties

yes , it wasn't the best way to end his career ... but he did have a perfect chance with his header earlier on.

would love to see the movie " Being David Trezeguet " ... :)

Italy's offense dominated the 1st half, and then appeared to be clumsy for the rest of the game. their defense was ROCK SOLID though! Canavarro and gatusso should be men of the match. they saved Buffon a lot of trouble.

Still this Cup Final will be remembered for Zidanes idiotic heabutt. uncharacteristic from a player of his stature. he simply self-destructed. and i'm sure his prominece as an "ambassador of the beautiful game" will be tarnished becasue of this one slip in his star studded career.

Trezeguet should thank his lucky stars he won't have the world on his shoulders tonight.

It's actually a pity how some of the crowd were booing and hissing at the referees of what was a well-officiated match. They should've replayed the headbutt on the stadium's projection screen.
