>What follows was what occurred during that first game. ABC began televising the game from its beginning and then went to a commercial (while the game continued). When they returned they said, “while we were away Pele scored a goal. But do not worry! We have it on instant replay”! The goal sequence was shown and then when it was over the voice said, “while we were showing the replay of Pele’s goal, he scored another goal”! . But do not worry! We have it on instant replay”! After returning from the reviewing of the second goal, the voice said, “And while we were showing the second goal scored by Pele, he scored a header. But do not worry! We have it on instant replay”!

Great story, shame about the match. We have BBC channels over here with no advertising, which is great...as long as they win the televising rights for the league.
