World Cup football

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well hopefully it can go back to being a game of two halves now. 

Well, 2 halves, followed by a bit of "Argie Afters"

A bit of 'Argie Bargy' I think is more accurate. 

The worlds worst losers.

Did I miss the golf again?...

Naughty?

Naughty? 

Ooh harsh.    Regarding the Falklands banner after the England game, apparently someone told the Argentinians that "The last time we saw that white flag was in 1982, only back then it didn't have any writing on it".

That half time event was utter rubbish, I mean, what the hell was going on here, it looks like two Tellitubbies on a promise from a Gilf

[Sir Tigger KC]

The FA netted a cool $29 million for coming third in the World Cup.  Might just about have covered the cost of taking part? 

Spain got $50m for winning. The cheating Argie Bargies got $33m for 2nd and the French Froggies got $27m for 4th.

Surely that bloke in the yellow hiviz was the car park attendant.

Why did they have some sort of 'comfort break' in the middle of each half.

Surely fit young men can run around for 45 minutes without needing a break.

Nancy boys.

For U.S TV advertising breaks. Plus the fact that the yanks are used to having games split into four quarters instead of two halves.

They were 'hydration' breaks. Next year, at the women's World Cup, they're having 'vibration' breaks.

When you go to a 'football' game in America, it's a full day out.

I remember before the 1994 World Cup in the US the American TV companies tried hard to get the four quarters format so they could get their adverts in, but FIFA stood their ground and said no it a game of two halves! 

We live in different times now though...

Bigger brown envelopes now I would imagine. 
Possibly a big brown envelope got the Argies as far as the final too.

A rattling good time would be had by all.

Brazil's Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and a woman called Madonna.    So yes, they may well have been on a promise.
