There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Nothing against our US friends who like football but I liked this video of John Cleese talking about the USA and football:

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Paraguay 1-1 Japan (Japan on penalties)
Spain 3-0 Portugal
Sorry, Portugal, with that level of modest gameplay you're only going this far. Hopefully nobody will remind me about 7-0 against a 70's-methods-trained first-timer North Korea.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
What a boring game. I do feel a bit sorry for that one Japanese missing that penalty. But then, not as sorry as I feel for myself for having to sit through 120 minutes of that rubbish.
Does this mean he has to commit harakiri now though?
Paraguay was weak. In essence, tonight's game means a place in the semis.
Even if I like the Spanish team much more than the Portugal one, I'm going to root for my Lusitanian friends, real life and the .org. Força Portugal! Allez allez!

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Well, one has had 120 minutes to have done something about it. Teams shouldn't cry too much for losing on penalties. Even if fortuna does claim her role, it is not all a matter of (bad) luck, neither for ending up with penalties, nor for losing them.
I must say that as a neutral, or even as invested party, I rather like penalties. It's very tense and dramatic.

At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Yeah, I too thought that was a bit Lahm of Gregoshi.
It's Löw to poke fun at England's Fabiolous performance, when without the ref it might have been a Klose call.

It's a bit Lamphard not to get a little Green when you see Germany go thRoo, though.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
All these puns are a bit like my take on this World Cup business - lots of shots but none scored (self included). Well, at least none of them went over the line - right Joooray?In my book, Ser wins the comedy award for his picture comment about the German goalie "lounging".
BTW, Joooray, your profile location gave me inspiration for my pun...that and an inept attempt at burning a German flag. Sorry if any offense was taken.
Seriously, I haven't watched as much of the WC as I have wanted, but I have changed my tune a little. Aside from all the diving, the mystery of "extra time" and some blown calls, I've rather enjoyed watching the games.

Oh, no need to Müller over that pun too much. It may have gone over that German's head, but to be Frank, the rest of the world considered it a great Cole.All these puns are a bit like my take on this World Cup business - lots of shots but none scored (self included).

Don't worry, no offence taken at all. Only after Louis and Secura started did I understand you did it on purpose, before I was just a bit confused about the sudden capital letter in an English sentence.BTW, Joooray, your profile location gave me inspiration for my pun...that and an inept attempt at burning a German flag.
