World Cup Chances
Think grey England. Think whinging poms. Think die-hard football (or soccer) fans. Think Northern English accents. From Nick Horby's debut book Fever Pitch:
Fan 1: "They were f---ing rubbish last year. And they were f---ing rubbish the year before. And I don't care if they are top of the league, they'll be f---ing rubbish this year, too. And next year. And the year after that. I'm not joking."
Fan 2: "I don't know why you come, Frank. Honest I don't."
Fan 1: "Well, you live in hope, don't you?"
I think that sums it up aptly. Still. Go Aussie, go.

Well, I think some cheers are in order. That was one hell of a match and three very impressive goals. :)
I was a whisker away from abolishing my weekly sushi ritual. I almost felt sorry for the Japanese, but we overwhelmingly deserved it.
Martini, when you and Tim Cahill have babies, I want you to name the first after me.
"I almost felt sorry for the Japanese"
Don't you worry, they still got their tentacles, school girls and bukkakke....they'll be fine.
Nah, they had last time to win the world cup. If they had won, Australia should've declared war on Egypt (or at least arrested the Egyptian ref)
Brilliant result hey!
Makes the Australia vs Brasil game even sweeter.
Which i'm going to.
Did i mention that i got tickets for the Australia vs Brasil game?
'Cause i've got tickets the Australia vs Brasil game
I do hate you, you know. On your return to Oz, the customs are going to receive an anonymous "tip off" that your smuggling drugs.
Brasil is how Brazillians spell it - I had a world map on college with the original country names on it. Indeed the capital of Brazil is Brasilia.
yes engels, but you assume that Brazillians actually know what is best for them, and their country...
when we all know that what would be best is for them to shut down shop and shit all their brazillian-bearing hotties over here... to Unit 1 / 6 Grimes Street... Auchenflower....
bring beer...
Germans spell Brasil with an 'S' as well, since 'Z' in German makes a "ts" sound, whereas "s" makes a "z" sound.
It's only we crazy Anglophones who use the Z spelling.
And just for the record, I continue to call that Latin American country "Chilly" rather than "Chil-eh".
Pretenious bastards.
I figure all these Romance languages are merely bastardised versions of Latin anyway, and being of Italian descent, I resent those buggers stealing my ancestral tongue.
