# 2 worlds one cup?

# With conspiracy theories
Or I am, anyway. france and South Africa effectively given byes to the second round, Italy given the most unbelievably lacklustre group -- until you see the group Spain are in.

On the other hand, Brazil/Portugal should be good fun. The match might be shit in the end (we can hope not, but it might be) but Brazil v Portugal has a certain resonance to it.

England got handed an easy group too. Hard to say if Slovenia or the USA will be bigger opponents, which really says a lot. Neither are *bad*, as such, but they're not exactly going to set the world alight.

If I cut the bitching and whining it actually looks like a decent draw. And not that fixed, except for Italy's group. And SA/France's. And England's. And Spain's. And Brazil/Portugal's. And Argentina's.

The Netherlands is fair though.

# I checked a couple of US sports sites and they're already talking about Beckham v the USA.
Kim Jong-Il decided a week or so ago that highlights of North Korea's games will only be shown in the country if they win. They're not getting any football.

I prefer the idea that he'll employ some internet graphics artists to edit the highlights so that North Korea win each match.

My services are available. I'm not very good at it but, hey, I'm probably good enough for North Korea. I think he's sold half the tellies to pay for wooden guns anyway.

# Did you get your Oslo job yet?
Alternatively, as I first typed, did you get your Oslo nob yet?
(I helped save b3ta! zoldergoose, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 19:40, archived)
# No Oslo nob
I did have an unexpected phone interview the other day for it. I'll hear back within a week or two. I currently have my fingers, toes and testicles crossed. (I'm booked in for surgery on that in a few day's time. In the meantime I'm in quite a lot of pain, and it's really difficult typing.)

# Well we appreciate the effort
This Oslo job thing is dragging on. I might lose interest eventually. Have a word.

# I will
On Monday the decision should have been made internally. That's the point I get hold of my spy on the inside and learn what it was. No point waiting to be told officially, is there?

# just shout
ENGERLAND

a few times. throw in a ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY! or two and you're sorted. Occasionally nod wisely and say "I said he should've gone with 1-1-8."

# The last time I watched the football properly was when Senegal beat France.

# I enjoyed that game
Somewhat frighteningly, I still lived in Scotland at that point. That was actually quite a long time ago.

# All I remember was that the winning goal was scored by the guy who had fallen over and was on the floor.
And that that was the year France scored no goals, and I think that was the time around we beat Germany 5-1.

# 5-1 was in a friendly
I wasn't very happy about it.

# It must be awesome because there's a wikipedia page about just that match
(I helped save b3ta! zoldergoose, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 19:46, archived)
# And if you make a change it'll be reverted within 5 minutes!
Especially if that change is to "Some cunts beat Germany 5-1 some time. No-one cared, not even the Germans, but some cunts won't shut up about it, although they still talk a bit more about when they beat the Germans almost fifty years ago in a much more important match."

I'd do that but actually I'm not that petty anymore. Since with any luck I'll be living in Norway, I don't even mind whether England win the World Cup. Though I'd love to see the Netherlands get it.

# I only remember it so well because Heskey scored the only goal of his entire career.
(I helped save b3ta! zoldergoose, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 19:49, archived)
# Fuck me
Heskey scored for England? No wonder you remember it.

I didn't actually see the match, the first I knew was when some Lancastrian twat in my hall of residence put a cutout from the paper on his door and went around shouting at the top of his stupid voice about it, the brainless fuckwit.

That's probably actually behind my antipathy towards that match, rather than any dislike of England, I just didn't like the Lancastrian prick.
