World Cup Observations

Sport
1

  1. Goetze looks like, Matt Holland and David Connolly and a ladyboy.

  2. The Ghana lads fucking love shooting from ridiculous distances and angles.

  3. Germany looked fucked in the heat. Mertesacker looked like he was melting.

2

FIFA can’t continue to bury their head in the sand regarding video replays. Fucking ridiculous seeing good goals like Dzeko’s chalked off.

3

Jim Beglin is a very good co commentator

4

While I agree, I wouldn’t have thought this was a new revelation.

The story with Jim Beglin is that many years ago the scouts from Shamrock Rovers came down to watch a hot prospect called Billy Breslin. As they entered the ground they observed Billy in the Parka and desert boots smoking a fag, and they concluded that they were wasting their time and resolved to head back to Dublin. They were prevailed upon to stay and before the night was out they had forgotten about Billy and a young defender called Jim Beglin was a Rover. After a couple of years impressing in the LOI, Beglin was a Liverpool player.

Sadly, Maradona looks like a man in drag these days.

7

New Zealand referee Peter O’Leary is a good ref and hopefully goes far in this World Cup

8

Apart from allowing a completely legitimate goal not to be allowed.

It’s called the beautiful game for a reason

He looks like qaddafi

11

Where did Jim get the strange/poshish/Atlantic 252 DJ accent? Did he grow up all his life in Waterford?

12

And whatever happened to Billy?

13

He did.

14

Kept smoking the fags. Bought a Lambretta.

Argentina are a one man team they wont win the tournament.
Brazil are an overrated one man show also (add in Oscar as well).
Uruguay are a one man show
Kareem Benzema is a very good striker
The USA and Coach Klinsmann are a fucking brilliant bunch of lads
With the exception of Ghana last night, the expected impact of the African teams that Pele predicted after 1990 never materialized, Cameroon and Nigeria are two really poor sides. Algeria are no mugs but that is how they always have been, also they are North African and not from jungle Africa that Pele was talking about.
CONCACAF is where it’s at

The Argentines have lovely classy traditional forenames. Angel, Ezequeil, Lionel, Javier, Miguel, Fernando, Sergio. The country obviously hasn’t been overtaken by the Latin equivalent of the Waynes and Raheems.

17

Lino’s call. Peter is kicking himself in sure once he saw what happened.

18

Every country in the world has a fucking all-white strip now.
Fuck off what that shit if you don’t have white as one of your country colours.

This is partly down to a FIFA directive which means you’re not allowed have dark shorts with white shirts anymore.

There seems to a serious lack of quality strikers, especially amongst traditional countries (certainly compared to 80s and 90s). @Rocko[/USER] [USER=2533]@Il Bomber Destro[/USER] [USER=367]@mickee321 and other footballistas , is due to teams playing with one striker, false 9s etc. Is the fox in the box striker a thing of the past?
