Bugger that. Been here seven years now and I'm not changing my accent. If they can't understand me, that's their problem.

Try asking for water in Texas. Apparently the word has no Ts in it. If I ask for a warder, like Mr. McKay in Porridge, everything is fine though.

Thumbs up Re: Who is from Yorkshire?

Does anyone know if the Capital One League Championship will be shown in the States. I'm in WA State and would just love to watch my home town, Bradford City, at Wembley. I have done some searching, but not having any luck with a definate answer. Feb 24th is the game. Thanks!

If it's going to be on, it will be on Fox Soccer or Fox Soccer Plus. I don't think it will be on ESPN2 but worth checking, the only other possibility is BEIN. They all have the schedule on the internet.

I appreciate your help. I've looked at the sites you mentioned, but looks like it's not televised. It's being shown all over the world, pretty much, but not in the USA.

Which is ironic considering that Capital One in the UK is a subsidiary of a US corporation!

Why would they bother to televise a sport for girls that can go 90 minutes or more and end in a draw?

I seem to remember the early stages being on Fox Soccer so I'd assume the final will be too

I'm trying my best to keep my accent too. Have you tried asking for a fork in this country?! Also yes... Sick of asking for water then having to say it 3 times... I've dropped the T from it and I just say wa'er like I would back home. They understand that better
