Larry and Mackers-
did you hear that the World Bank just completed a study on the world's easiest jobs. Top of the list:2010 FIFA World Cup scoreboard operator. Most days they didn't need to lift a finger

Nuala,

It’s an Albert thing!! We just follow the example he sets!!

I too was glad that Spain won but only on the night. They sucked the creativity and flair out of the game throughout. I suppose getting beat by the Swiss in the opening game made them over cautious. I normally like the Dutch but they were thugs, more like an old style South American outfit. Van Bommel and De Jong should try kick boxing. More in tune with their talents.

Agh Ryan,
and there was me thinking it was the cheerleaders the junk food and an excuse to spend 4 hours watching a 30 minute game. Maybe you could pass on your admirable attitude on other countries to the Whitehouse??

Larry-
It's a waste to love a sport if it's not universally followed? I enjoy american football because of the action, the offensive and defensive strategies involved, the hitting and because its a part of my culture. I really could not care less if Koreans Brasilians or Nigerians or the French don't care about it.

Mackers, 'couch potato, sittting drinking and swearing in front of the T.V' Had no idea that was only a World Cup thing, Alberts like that all year round.

Glad Marie got her twenty five quid, hope she spends it on herself.
Beans are good for you Marty, high in protein and low in fat.
Well, so the shinners and the tories say, thats why they are encouraging us to eat more of them.

Great piece, Anthony. After that World Cup, I'm left wondering what the hell went wrong. Where was the flair? The great games? Where the hell was Messi? And the Jabulani? They'd have been better off playing with a beach ball. Glad Spain won, though, even if they were not at their best.

The dutch were a shocker, and complaining about the ref' today into the bargain. Insulting on and off the pitch. Thank goodness for once evil did not prevail and Spain did it. Quite fitting Dutch hearts were broken at the last ditch moment as it was what they deserved after subjecting us to 100 odd minutes of scynicism and brutality....sweet!!
Don't much follow the GAA either Mackers...like baseball and American football it soaks up the energy and youth of a nation into a sport that's irrelevant elsewhere. What a waste.
