Hi Celivia,

Nope I haven't watched one game....but you lot are fun, so, I thought I'd keep protesting...lol

I've watched a few highlights OR were they lowlights?...lol

I might have to end up barracking for the Orange Stains but do they wear wooden football boots (Football Cloggers), or are they allowed to wear leather...lol

I'm imagining myself in Holland, I look up to see the sky, and I exclaim...OMG there goes a ship!....lol

Hope your team does brilliantly!

Bye for now...lol

No fun, if you're going to barrack for the Saints - even in a highly ironic fashion.

Why not go back to supporting the Magpies - so much better when they don't make to the Grand Final, although am tipping they'll make to the finals, but that's all folks.

Celivia

Have soft spot for Ghana - they're like the underdogs in this series - the last remaining African team.

Boo Hiss to Brazil and that's just for the wax-job, Oh Yeah, topic: kicking round ball with head - boo hiss even though, they (Brazilians) do that very well too and with no embarrassing body-hair.

Go Oranje people - I have tight orange jumper, good time of year to be wearing it.

This IS meant to be 'stream of consciousness' thread, isn't it?

Severin,

I thought you would realise I still have some semblance of taste...OMG I could never barrack for the Moorabbin Misfits....lol

I'm wearing my tight orange jeans...They aren't tight to hug my exquisitely carved, bike riders backside...They are tight because I have short arms and they have deep pockets... so I can't reach my money to spend it...lol

Is the World Cup rigged? lol

I love Nil all draws...there's something deep and intellectual about a game where two teams can allegedly go at it and neither of them end up scoring.

Soccer must be deep on an intellectual level, cause failure to score is hardly an achievement...I can do that sitting at my computer....lol

So now I can add to my list

1. The players pretend injuries.
2. The refs don't appear to know the rules.
3. The game is full of cheats.
4. Too many draws.
5. Pathetically Low Scores or worse often NO scores.
6. Even when they score the refs can't see it.
7. These allegedly adult men celebrate a score by running around with their shirts over their heads, or lying on the ground with everyone kissing and cuddling them.
8. The game is too easy to cheat at.
9. The players are whooses.
10. The fans don't understand a real man's game like AFL.
11. The fans can lower their already low expectations easily.
12. There's something wrong with the balls apparently.
13. The players head butt the ball and that's legal
14. They are scared of technology just in case it causes a correct decision.
15. Oh and of course the players fall over a lot for no apparent reason...Is this cheating?
16. Players are said to have let down their nation if they lose.
17. The medical staff treat pretend injuries obviously with pretend treatments.

This game just gets better and better...lol

Your travelling correspondent .... Opi 2.

I did make the mistake of thinking you a man of taste and intellect, snorkle, snorkle, snicker. Nah only joshin' with ya.

And now I know you have oddly short arms in proportion to your oddly distant buttocks. Too much info. Whereas, I have a tight sweater simply because it looks great on me and it is orange - for my friend in NSW, Celivia.

Do, Opi2, continue adding to your list of disrespect to the round foot & head ball. However, many of your issues would become non if the goal posts were simply widened.

Opinionated 2

You forgot:

An offside rule that allows players to be offside and results in offside rulings that are poorly comprehended by professional players and never by the punters.

The overuse of stretchers, raced onto the pitch for 'seriously' injured players who miraculously get up to play after they have had a bit of a rest.

There would be a Histrionics Cup, except that Italy would always win with the Poms coming in second. Hold on, what about Portugal and Argentina, then there is... Maybe there should be a play-off after all, but no ball is needed, the best don't need ball to flop and squirm like they've been shot.

Score draws should be decided by points given for the strip of the scorer and number of his mates accommodated in the resultant horizontal group hug. Obviously the source of C J's (cough, cough, ahem) homoerotic sensitivity that he projects onto others.

Passing the ball back and forth to the goalie to let the clock run out.

Great stuff, Opi2 and Severin. Anybody who takes any kind of football too seriously deserves a serious lampooning :)

I see that Cornflower still hasn't grown a sense of humour. Now that she's raised it, I wonder why we've never heard a report about real football players standing around masturbating together while watching a team mate abuse a woman, or sticking their fingers up other players' rectums while making a tackle?
