World Cup Review


(General)

  1. Referees

Now, in the World Cup, we were shown many examples of how to correctly referee a game, so as to let the game flow whilst giving adequate protection for the 'flair players'. This resulted in fantastic football that everybody was able to enjoy. Unfortunately, there were some cases when matches were reffed by escaped lunatics from cells with 1' thick rubber wallpaper. These nutters spoiled perfectly good games like Belgium vs. Mexico by sending players off for nothing, not 'next to nothing'.........nothing (the English referee by the way was very good). But I don't blame the referee's themselves (even though some looked as is they had barely seen a round ball before) I point the finger at Sepp 'twatforahead' Blatter (the new president of FIFA) and also the world cup organisers including one Michel Platini. These are the men who shout jump, the referees merely reply how high ? Obviously the ref's are in somewhat of a no-win situation here.............if they ref in the spirit of the game they get applauded by the pundits but berated the the 'top brass', whereas if they pull out a few cards they get congratulated by their superiors but slated in the press. It's getting near to the point when it's almost expected that at least one or two red cards will be shown in a match and thats shit. Whatever FIFA say, football is, and always will be a contact sport. I noticed that they kept pretty shtum after Zidane got sent off (and rightly so) after his stamping. If a forward is getting a bit of stick in a match, the offending player should be yellow-carded. What the hell were shin pads invented for in the first place ? The amount of niggly tackles, the sly pushes and shirt tugs that the Tunisians were putting in on Shearer in England's first match was unbelievable and Alan was understandably getting a bit pissed off, but he stuck at it, didn't whine (too much) and scored. HA.

  • Ronaldo's girlfriend

    • MMMMMMnnnnnnnnn............very nice indeed.



  • Diving

    • This is one of the worst aspects, if not the worst of the modern game. It pisses me off no end to see people sprawling around on the floor for minutes on end......writhing with pain my arse. Bobby Charlton never used to do that and he and I are united in our hatred of the divers. There are of course certain countries/players (Jurgen, Igor, Denilson) who specialise in this sort of caper, and over the next few weeks, I will be naming and shaming the guilty few. The stretcher thing is a load of bollocks as well, fair enough, it was brought in for the right reasons, but it seems to me that the players have now pretty much sussed it.

  • Watching with women

    • Bloody impossible. With their stupid comments and fake sentiment.

    It pisses me right off.



  • The new Adidas ball

    Anything that pisses Roberto off gets on my tits

  • French football supporters

    • It pisses me off that France, a nation that didn't even care when it got to host the World Cup, or even when it's team were pissing on all of the other teams in their group (admittedly they were shit) now decides that because their team is doing pretty well for itself, they'll start supporting them. That's a load of shite. The World Cup will soon start taking each continent in turn to host it. That's 5 continents making 20 years before it gets back to your continent. Say there's 40 countrie in a typical continent, then that's 800 years before the tournament could come back to your country. SHIT!!!!. France needed to wake up and realise just how big an event this was before it happened, now they just look like Man UTD fans (from 1993 onwards).

  • Joint hosting

    • Bag of wank, how do you decide which country is going to host the final ?

  • White Boots

    • For that matter............any coloured boots except for black. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hate them with such a passion it's unbelievable. Wear normal BLACK boots you fucked up pyscadelic bastards. You don't see Paul Ince wear red boots do you ?. They should have their legs chopped off. The bad thing is that this strange phenomena is creeping into our game, in 2002, black boots will be outnumbered and in 2006 they will be on the verge of extinction. NIGHTMARE SCENARIO.

  • Linesmen

    • They run up and down the lines and they are men. Hence.....linesmen. NOT referee's assistant, NOT 3rd official........fuckin' linesmen.

  • Adidas vs. Nike

    • Now, I have a lot of time for adidas (except when it is pronounced adeedas), I think they make a top quality boot. BUT, I'm afraid they have had an absolute MARE when it comes to this world cup advertising campaign. I hate adverts at the best of times but both the nike and adidas adverts have been tremendous, but for very different reasons. First up you have the nike ads, which, to be fair, are absolutely fuckin' brill. Some of the best adverts I have ever seen without a shadow of a doubt. Especially the dopey genius/god......Ronaldo. Now, the reason that the adidas adverts are so funny is not because they are trying to be funny, quite the opposite, but in the people they chose to represent them on a world stage.
    1. Patrick Kluivert - Involved in a bit of argy-bargy in his first game and sent off. Banned for two matches.
    2. David 'girly' Beckham - Not picked for the opening game in preferance for Darren Anderton (who is shit).
    3. Zinedine Zidane - French playmaker stamps on Saudi player in his second game, sent off. Banned for two matches.
    4. Alessandro Del Piero - Undoubted talent but not fit and therefore relegated to the subs bench.
