Re: FIFA World Cup 2010
Next time I'm drinking whilst watching a BBC game, I'm going to play the Lawro drinking game - you drink every time Lawro whines about something (might make it a bit more bearable).
Srsly though, watching this Spain game and it's like fucking Eeyore in the background.
yes, that's right, fucking Eeyore, like sex, you pervert

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010
See earlier post by me about the fucking BBC's coverage. I used to think Pearce was a cunt, but fuck me he's a stand-up bloke when he commentates next to Lawro. ITV covered the 0-0 between Japan and Paraguay earlier, and were at pains to avoid saying "this is a bit boring", instead discussing why the teams were set out as they were, and trying to convey what was at stake and that it was hugely historic for whichever nation won through, and that they were worthy of respect. Imagine the same game being covered by Lawro, the fucking cunt.Michael Wallace wrote:Next time I'm drinking whilst watching a BBC game, I'm going to play the Lawro drinking game - you drink every time Lawro whines about something (might make it a bit more bearable).

I can't fucking stand him. I always thought he was shit as a bag full of shit on MOTD just doing the after-match stuff and can't understand why he seems to commentating on all the BBC's games. Surely they can get someone better? Probably sucked some BBC executive's cock, the fucking cunt.

What price, another all European final.
Hopefully Holland v Spain, so we are guaranteed a new winner.
Then Maybe FIFA will arrange a World Cup winners knockout tournament (as there will be 8 different winners)

I predict a Holland vs Ghana and Spain vs Germany semi final round. With Holland and Germany advancing.

I'm quite tempted by 4.2 for Holland/Argentina.
Although then we get into a debate about whether you count Uruguay as the Switzerland of Europe, which complicates matters.

You have to feel the utmost sympathy for Gyan if Ghana lose.

I am flying out to South Africa tomorrow to shoot Suarez.
He has got them to the semi-finals by cheating. He should be banned for the rest of the tournament, should Uruguay get to the final. Yes, I know if he hadn't have done it they would have lost, but it's Ghana! Everyone loves Ghana! I really sympathise with Gyan, for he has been one of the tournament's best players. I hope Holland batter the Uruguayans.
I still like you Ryan.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010
So much for it being the South American World Cup
Interestingly, since 1962, the winners of the World Cup have alternated between Europe & South America every time.
62 - Brazil
66 - England
70 - Brazil
74 - West Germany
78 - Argentina
82 - Italy
86 - Argentina
90 - West Germany
94 - Brazil
98 - France
02 - Brazil
06 - Italy
So, based on that we should have another South Amrerican winner this time, but it looks like the chances of that are fading rapidly now.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010
Had to come to PC to make note of those Lawro moments just then quickly.
On Capdevila not playing for Real or Barca:
ML: "That's cos he's no good"
Other Dude: "You can say that"
ML: "Just did."
And then the bit where something had clearly happened off-microphone and Lawro was unprofessional enough to bring it up, completely without context for us viewers:
ML: "You alright?"
OD: "I'm fine. Thanks for asking."
