But indeed he looks bigger - until I checked now on Wikipedia, I thought that he was at least 190. -- No, no, you can't e-mail me with the nono.

I know someone who saw him in a supermarket... she said he looked a lot scrawnier than on TV :-) -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

During rummaging about on the site Sven posted this morning, I neglected to note the scorers but did see that it was indeed 2-1. Man, that was a long time ago, and the reception of the Spanish channel was not very even. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

I have fond memories of that tournament since it was the first I was able to follow extensively (well the EUro 1980 was the first but I was in Germany for that as a summer student). Since then it has been TSN and SPortsnet, at least partially (CBC involved last time), until this year, when CBC got exclusive rights again - they have done a super job not only showing the maximum possible number of live games on free-to-air TV, but also rebroadcasting 2 games every night in prime time/late night, promoting the tournament heavily even in newsbroadcasts, and streaming every match live on their web site, as well as keeping all matches there for view on demand. > -- > ciao, > Bruce > > drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/ |
