Ginger Sooty will keep you up to date with all the shenanigans and goings on in Brazil 2014. He filed this from Copacabananananana Beach.
Hello,
“Up comes Carlos Alberto on the right….” Ah yes 1970, the greatest football team ever assembled win the World Cup for the 3rd time and entrenches Brazil as the spiritual home of football.
So with the competition for 2014 in Brazil what could be better? I even donned me Carnival outfit and sashayed to Costa’s for a celebratory decaffeinated coffee – harder than you think when you are a glove puppet.
And why are grown men collecting Panini Stickers? – Got – Got – Need – Need indeed
The opening week has been brilliant.
Every game has had something to drool over, excessive saliva production is common amongst native Portuguese speakers. In fact so much spittle has been produced in Brazil that giant sponges are being used to mop the streets of Rio.
And boy oh boy is obesity popular amongst Latin Americans!
Their have been fine wins for Holland (shaliva shpectaculer) Brazil, Chile, USA, Mexico and Italy.
England managed to string 3 passes together on more than one occasion in their game against Italy but still lost to the Latin Layabouts. The only worry is Wayne Rooney – he looks like he has been partying with some Papua New Guinea head shrinkers such as his bonce diminished from the Oirish spudhead look.
Let’s hope we can beat Uruguay tonight to stay in the competition. If not INVADE this corn beef sweating arse end of South America!
Ahem.
Germany look good but the real shock has been the early demise of reigning champions Spain who lost last night to Chile and are out of the competition. It’s a shame when a truly great team comes to the natural end of its cycle but boy they were good, possibly the greatest since Brazil 1970. This glove puppet for one will fondly look back on their brand of football inspired by Rudyard Kipling.
Yes Riki Tiki Taka Tava football changed the way we play the game. Forever.
Other Things To Ponder
We all love Iran now – They are not evil nutters hellbent on lobbing a nuclear warhead at us – they are avuncular chaps with beards and a deep commitment to parliamentary democracy. Crap at footie though.
Is the Swiss goalkeeper really made of cheese as some reports suggest?
The Japanese team play ancient Japanese folk melodies on nose flutes to celebrate scoring a goal.
Lionel Messi – the world’s greatest footballer – collects burglar alarms and has over 250 in his shed.
Enjoy the World Cup!
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Adios Espana. 🙂
They were brilliant – shame to see them fall so quickly Nancy
Given how Portugal shit the bed in the match against Germany, they could be next to fall. Much to the chagrin of my Portugal-supporting husband and children.
Ronaldo is crocked as well – looks bad for them – England v Uruguay tonight – a nation shits itself!
Ronaldo is such a punk. Something about his face makes me want to punch it so bad.
My daughter, on the other hand, thinks he is perfection. Sigh.
That he hails from the tiny island my husband’s family is from, Madeira, is just a source of embarrassment for me. 🙂
I think most people want to give him a slap – great player though!
I was hoping to understand more. Where are the pads and helmets? Cheerleaders? Is there a half time show?
Jennifer Lopez warbled suring the opening ceremony John – the pads and helmets will be on show next time the USA hosts the tournament
comforting
Brilliant is England next 🙂
Yep!
Spain and England can use the same plane home , save on fuel.
I must say I’m impressed the U.S. got a win. Best of luck to your England! I haven’t been able to watch any of the World Cup, but I heard Benedict has a girlfriend now.
England are out! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!
Oh, I thought there was still a chance. I am so sorry!!! See, I should never try to talk sports. So sorry.
Nevermind – as an exercise in hope over experience England football never lets us down Amy!
Oh good, Jim! It is about hope, isn’t it?
It is – i see America is beginning to wake up to Soccer.
Yeah. It’s kind of shocking, although I’m betting it’s because we’re winning. Otherwise…
You have got further than England already
Watching Costa Rica lead Italy 1-0 at 60 minutes. Is there no respect for expected results any more?
Invade!
Your posts are the most entertainment I am getting from the World Cup. That and I get to watch “Corrie” earlier so it doesn’t interfere with the footie.
Every cloud hey Michelle – England are out – so we can now enjoy the actual football!
Wait – where are the pucks and hockey sticks? No hands allowed? What kind of sport is this?
I know – it doesn’t involve shoulder pads so Americans don’t get it……
Is Sooty going to report from Copacabana?
Very soon Frank!
