Soccer WC

Dismal Pillock

Brazil belt, bump and barge their way to victory vs Columbine. Bedlam in Botofogo, backwash in Bogota. I mean backlash. Or bad hash. Or bad rash. Or big splash. Fuck knows there but Neymar copped the first actual brutal looking injury of the WC, a knee to the back, be surprised if he plays at WC again. They'll be fucked without him vs the Hun. The Germans fear no man. NO MAN. It is just blood and sturm and drung until defeat of unruly favela children is complete.

The unruly favela children situation has already been handled.

It is ahead of expectation, it is prior to halftime interval. Half of squadron have already pushed on towards Rio.

We have exterminated their dreams with the use of blunt force attacks to the head and face area, again and again we struck them until their life force ebbed from them.

Perhaps we were how you say a little heavy handed but they shall never, ever, ever forget this.




ps Hans has fashioned himself a necklace from their teeth. It is cute.

Stunning result. I'd personally be changing out of my German jersey if I was in Bazil tonight. Might be a wise choice to keep a low profile...

Brazil: 0
The Dutch: 3

The 3rd Place Diving Championship Match has been won 3-0 by the Flopping Dutchman.

Full range of dives on display here, the ACL Pinwheel, the Shin Barker, the Sniper's Buckshot-to-the-face-oh-I'm-fine-now, yes the whole catalogue.

You'd think for a nothing game the ponces would want to put on a show, maybe even showcase their skills on the world stage for a potential big money move to a top club. But no, its just one giant long nancy boy parade of deceit. Fuck off the both of you.

Can anyone tell me if Germany (as in the combination of both east and west Germany) have ever won a World Cup?

Mein Chancellor.


First there was blood.

Then there was joy.

The Black Forest is on fire.

That trains run on time on the Autobahn.

As for the dreams of the 3rd world shanty town children, they were the dreams of children and today they have died.

We shall shortly begin partying like it is 1939. Then we shall be rerouting directly to Prussia.

Please tell our families that we like them very much.

No. West Germany won it 3 times (1954, 1974 & 1990), Germany lost the 2002 Final (to Brazil) but today's the first time a unified Germany has won it.

Edit: looking through the list of Finals on wiki, I'm struck by how few different World Champions the World Game has produced, 8 counting Germany & West Germany together & only 12 have made the Final. It may be the World Game but the WC's not quite the anyone-can-win-it comp some dive ball fans would have us believe.

Local poofballer receives govt grant

---Guardian--

A local soccer player has received a government grant in order for him to fully develop his ground-breaking dive over the weekend to a world class level.

"

"We would like this individual to develop this particular skill to its fullest potential so that perhaps one day the upper echelon of players can learn from it and hopefully our top players can incorporate this particular manoeuvre into their diveball repertoire" said a leading Manchester United spokesman.

The player in question is believed to be interested in spending the entirety of the funds on registering a patent for the manoeuvre with potential naming rights said to include "The Phantom Limb A&E", "The Elevated Half-Pike with Inverted Wince", "The Afterthought Fosberry Fish Flop" and "The Oh Come On Just Fucking Get Up".

I've heard some press on the upcoming Asian Cup Australia is hosting. I was surprised at how poorly ranked most of the teams are:
Australia ranked 101 in the world
Kuwait 124
Oman 93
South Korea 69
Uzbekistan 74
North Korea 150
Saudi Arabia 102
China 97
UAE 81
Qatar 95
Iran 51
Bahrain 122
Japan 54
Palestine 113
Jordan 81
Iraq 103

Pretty ordinary to be frank

I actually went to an A League game on Thursday. Wanderers v Mariners. My Uncle and his mate had spare tickets. The same issues are present that lead to me losing interest in the game 18 years ago. The main one being the amount of falling over that occurs. I actually had to restrain myself from yelling at them to get the F up.

it gets them in to the Confederations Cup which is a guaranteed $2million bucks to FFA.

Watch the sponsorship money come in too.

They're doing better than the Wallabies.

They've had a new coach come in with the intent on being hard on his players, very similar to Link (the two are very close). Interesting that the much higher paid football players took it in the stride and responded to Ange's direction whilst the professional rugby players whinged and claimed the scalp of another coach.

I wouldn't be scoffing at it.

Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop told The Australian Financial Review the sport was now ideally placed to leverage off the Socceroos historic win, the first by the men’s team in a major tournament.
“We will see a spike in registrations at the grassroots level as the next generation of kids look to emulate their heroes. And we will also work to maximise the commercial side and build off this result, which really gives us a priceless injection of confidence in the code."
Mr Gallop said the FFA had already been in discussions with prospective sponsors for the Socceroos before the Asian Cup began on January 9.


“We will now move forward and look to close those deals as soon as possible."
The organisation is also set for a boost from other revenue sources, including higher crowds for the remainder of the A-League season, participation in the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia that brings at least $US1.7 million ($2.2 million) in prize money and the hopeful sparking a bidding war between state governments for the Socceroos home games for qualification for the 2018 World Cup. A new broadcast deal could also be negotiated.

Still a lot of issues to be resolved for the Roos, but they're in a reasonably good place. Sainsbury and Spiranovic finally got a lot of gametime together together, Luongo showed that he's League 1s best player by the length of the flemington straight, and Ryan has looked very very good.

The ABC said the match reached 5.3 million Australians overall; that is, 5.3 million people watched at least five minutes of the match, peaking with 3.0 million viewers watching at 10.27pm AEDT, the final minute of extra time.
The game also averaged 416,000 for Fox Sports’ HD coverage, capping a very strong tournament for the subscription TV platform.
Been a long time since the Wallabies had ratings like that as well.....
