I'm been searching all over the internet for a website that will have live audio commentary of the England vs Greece game but I've been unable to find a site. I've found many with text commentary but I would much prefer audio...

Does anyone know of a site?

A response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Phil... I've come across this page here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sportonfive/football_wednesday.shtml ... Does this page have live commentary? I clicked on "Five Live" and am getting some english radio show. Will that change when the game starts?

Paid TV in New Zealand are showing the Ukraine v Wales game instead of the England vs Greece game :mad:

Yeah Five live is a british radio station, if they have the rights to broadcast football games then they will have it on that station...

Great - thanks for that phil :) I think they are providing live audio as it says "Catch our live coverage of England's World Cup qualifier against Greece in Athens." on the website.

Now I need to find out the time difference between England and New Zealand :confused:
Well it says on a time converter website:

20:33:43 Wed Jun 06 2001 in Pacific/Auckland converts to
09:33:43 Wed Jun 06 2001 in Europe/London

So the game should start 6:45am New Zealand time. Oh god I hope that's right... :(

Thanks :)

Let me see... Greece is in the southern part of Europe... convert to Singapore. London is also in the southern part of Europe...

So it should be:
19:45:00 Wed Jun 06 2001 in Europe/London converts to
02:45:00 Thu Jun 07 2001 in Singapore

Man... I have to sleep...

I must hear that match over the net it's crucial that Greece win to maintain Finland's chances of reaching the world cup.

Rediculously biased commentary, but I guess it's to be expected.

Good result for England.

I guess it was but I still enjoyed the commentary :)

Yeah it was a great result for England. It's a shame we don't get coverage here in New Zealand :(
