I wouldn't bet against "little Omar, aged 6" appearing in 8 years time either.

Sadly little Omar was killed working on the stadium.

I'm having lots and lots of fun on Facebook arguing that the penalty decision last night was a reasonable one.
People get terribly angry.

Isn't that Trolling? 
I was reading that the Croatian Players were complaining because the Japanese Ref couldn't speak English, and was trying to explain his decision to them in Japanese. It looks like this competition is going to be a joke and I fully expect England to be given a dodgy ref for at least one of our group games as punishment for our media having the audacity to question FIFA.
It will come as no surprise to me if during the Uruguay game we have a player Sent-off for a nothing incident, while they get away with hacking us to pieces.

Yep, lots of fun.
The referee doesn't need to speak English, or any other language, he needs to blow his whistle and point and the players need to shut up and get on with the game.
Every 4 years crap referees from crap footballing nations give odd decisions and the English are amazed by it.
Best part of the game yesterday was the Brazilian protestors stoning the ITV studio. Would have been even more entertaining if they hadn't had such strong glass.

To be fair I would stoned the ITV Commentary Box too.
Four Weeks of Adrian Chiles with his pug-ugly face, and boring Brummigem accent whining on and making inane comments about a game he obviously knows little about.

Are you sure none of them hit Adrian Childs in the face?

Until football has an off-pitch referee (like in rugby) who can review video of incidents its refereeing will remain a joke.
Every time someone takes a dive it should be played in a loop on the biggest screen in the stadium while everyone points at the player and laughs, and the opposing team given a penalty. And some ice cream.

Dodgy decisions make football better, how depressing would it be if the only reason your team kept losing was because they were shite? Much better to have a referee to blame.

Disagree, he needs to be able to warn them and explain decisions.
It's not that I'm amazed by it, I just think it's stupid that each Country has 1 set of officials representing it. You should have the best referees refereeing the biggest games even if that means having 6 sets of officials from each of Spain, England, Italy and Germany.

I hate football. I hate it even more after yesterday, my drive home took half an hour longer than normal.

Aren't you in the US?  The US doesn't even know what the World Cup is, how could it affect your drive?

No UK, too near Luton, my profile must be wrong.

OK. That makes sense.

Not to me it doesn't. Why does a football match in Brazil effect traffic near Luton on a Thursday evening?
I realise you're not the best person to ask this question to.

All I see are the crazy youtube videos of football (soccer) fans going nuts. They're crazy.

Everybody rushing out to get electric on their meters?
Or a rush to get the best spot outside the TV shop?

That wasn't the football's fault directly. It was the trucks delivering Dave's weekend tipples.

My tipples are in already and will be deployed at about 5.03pm today.

I didn't know tipple was a slang term for vibrating anal bead.

Change Request Of The Day;
Paraphrase: We want to make some changes to some systems but we don't know what the details of the changes are yet. Can you let us know what issues you think you will have?
I'm gonna guess at incomplete and unhelpful information from the business.

Reply: We will change the way some part of the system does something. This may cause another part of the system to do something that it didn't do before.

Odd how before some TV programmes the announcer will say say they contain 'adult situations'.
But when you watch them they don't show anyone going to a job they hate, paying their bills or cleaning up their kid's vomit.
