England on wednesday with English commentry

[MagicJ]

Hi,

I know the england croatia game is on eurosport but that will no doubt have finnish commentry. Which bars pref not Molly Malones are best for football with sky/english commentry, I also want to be able to keep an eye on the Finland game if poss.

Thanks

It doesnt seem like the england game is gonna be on anywhere in finland.
I had a quick browse through the trusty http://www.telkku.com. hopefully the game will be available to download the next day

Sorry Krash, NYT from the HS says the game is on at 8pm on Eurosport and the advert on eurosport last night confirmed it. Unfortunately for me this doesn't solve my commentry problem. If we play as badly as the Macedonia game i think i'm going to need a few pints to make it bearable, a few other supporters talking over the finnish commentry might also help, so can people recommend their top 3 bars in Helsinki for watching sports. Cheers.

Best place I hvae found for watching football is SportPub Chelsea, as they have many screens and decent sized non-smoking section - http://www.chelsea.fi/indexeng.htm - not showing the England Match though.
Otherwsie you could try Painobaari (http://www.n-w.cc/english/painobaari/ ) or Angleterre (http://www.oluthuone.com/ravintolat/angleterre_eng.php ), both in preference to Mollys.

When i lived in helsinki i used to go to the sports academy to watch the england games, but i think if they show it it maybe the usuall finnish commentry

Hei thanks for the heads up about Eurosport. I'll watch this at home later. With the Helsinki Sports Academy now closed for refurbishment I would probably go to the very conveniently located Chelski pub to watch my next game.
