World Cup Clich

[NorthernLights24]

Like most aspects of football the World Cup is full of clichés. Here we have one that happens before every tournament...

 

African team in disagreement over money, threaten not to go

[Ke1t]

Watching the Nigerians against team Yankmerica last night, I kept thinking "The Nigerians are lazy and disinterested..,. shit, am I being racist or observant?"

 

I wasn't sure, but then I didn't care.

 

I walk the line.

"That Goal"...said through clenched teeth by every Guffy guest/has been...hats off to you Diego...it still hurts the cunts to this day.

[buchanskii]

The involvement of brazil in a game is usually accompanied by a "carnival atmosphere." so expect to hear that a few times this tournament.

The heavy handed policing sparked the trouble by the English fans

The England team visited an orphanage in Brazil today.

"It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope." said Jose, age 6

Unbelievable. Pleasance Mufasa said that 4 years ago, Fritz Fuckwitz 4 years before that...

Uncanny

When Rickie Lambert is on the pitch the commentators will mention how incredible it is just years ago he was a builder.

 

If Lampard scores a goal when goal line technology is inevitably used "if only we had that four years ago" will be mentioned

The Germans (and the rest of the world) wish they had it 48 years ago

Aye but the BBC and ITV don't want to remind us it's only an injustice when it happens to England. When it happens to the opponent it's just "football".

[Merkie84]

Don't write off the Germans.

 

Italy play football "like a game of chess"

 

General patronising of any countries the do called "experts" don't know anything about.

[Rubinho Escocia]

The Italians start the tournament slowly - I heard that mentioned last night and seems to have been the case...

[fifered]

English players struggle not cause they aren't good enough but because they are tired because they play their league football at such a high tempo. Not sure what tempo the 60% of players who are foreign in the premiership are playing but they seem to manage fine in world cups and euros.

[Merkie84]

When the commentators mention how a player had " a poor spell at ( insert guffy team here) " but are then shocked that he could have developed into a good player elsewhere.

[The Hulk]

I look forward to the return of the "perennial underachievers" tag being attached to Spain.

The past 6 years just hasn't been the same without it.

[Tyrant]

Guffy commentators being sickened by the diving antics of *insert foreign player's name* but when and English player does it "there was definite contact".
