The World Cup starts in 5 days... anyone watching?
Normally by now, I'd be getting ready to iron my england flag to hang out of one of the windows, but this time I just can't be arsed. It's rained heavily a lot recently, and I've been working a lot, so I'm blaming those two factors for dampening my footie mood. Maybe things will change once the tournament starts as I usually have all the stats memorised this close to the competition.
You'll be hearing this song quite often as it's the official world cup music...
I hate all that shit... songs (because they're always, always, always shit)... vuvuzelas... glossy stylised ads with about a thousand frames per minute that aren't the least bit informative... idiots who bring a whole fucking orchestra to a match...what's that about anyway? You pay money to see a match and people take musical instruments along and ruin it for everybody. Go to a game, watch the game, not stand there banging a drum for 90 minutes while fans are trying to get chants going. The last world cup was watched entirely on mute thanks to the plastic nightmare of vuvuzelas - even the name's stupid and annoying - it's too close to vulva.
Anyway, here's a handy match guide for those following it:
Discuss anything to do with the World Cup, which kicks off on Thursday 12th June with the home team playing Croatia.
