I decided to "work from home" this afternoon, seeing how the Euro 2008 Poland v. Croatia match was being televised. Turns out that the match is televised on ESPN Classic, a channel we don't get since we only have basic cable. However, video-on-demand is finally here. I read about VOD about 15 years ago but it never really materialized. With broadband internet (DSL in our case), you can now get a fairly decent signal, although of course at limited resolution. Still, it's not bad; almost the same apparent size as our normal TV when viewed on the laptop. ESPN is showing Germany v. Austria, the other match of this group being played simultaneously. In order for Poland to go through to the next single-elimination round they'd have to win by a larger goal difference than the Austrians, with the latter defeating the Germans. Both scenarios seem somewhat unlikely.
