Ah football, la partida hermosa. Yes I am very much looking forward to the finals next year. But who will triumph and win the adoration of millions? Not the English that’s for sure. They will be beaten by the Germans on penalties in the quarter finals as usual, realise that they are cursed as a footballing nation, give up completely and instead concentrate on croquet, where, although there are only three countries who play it, they will continually be beaten by Australia.
Watch out Brazil !
Personally I support the brethren from Latin America (except Chile obviously). Brazil will get to the final but will lose key players when they are eaten by lions. Paraguay and Uruguay might do all right. Seriously though, Spain and The Netherlands from Europe, and Côte d’Ivoire will be there or thereabouts. New Zealand, bless them, will be beaten by everyone. Actually my predictions are irrelevant as when you have the connections with East Asian betting syndicates I do the element of chance is eliminated. Put a few shekels on Korea DPR for a shock win (seriously).
Dominguez old chap
As a patriotic Englishman and football enthusiast, I am absolutely appalled by the English team’s disgraceful performance on Sunday. Words fail me!
Since – er – actions speak louder than words, what would be your suggestion for dealing with the rotters?
I have responded on the main page to this most interesting query.
