Is it like a penny floater
Or are the players protesting way too much?

Too much protesting, I reckon.
It's the same every world cup.

I may not be a highly tuned athlete (far from it) - but I do think that if you're paid many thousands of pounds a week to kick a ball, you should be able to kick a bloody ball.

Very true
I saw Rooney saying it was taking him ages to get used to. Surely next time you kick it, kick it less hard if it's heading into orbit.

Oh do cock off, you greasy, rapey, diving shit flange.

Did he say that?
Fuck's sake. But I like shit flange as an insult.

Well, Ronaldo did, after he'd dived all over the pitch.

Grrrr! HATE!
I was praying for a Drogba's cast/ Ronaldo's face interface but that never came to past.
Drogba's just as bad a cheat, but doesn't seem quite as eminently punchable as that cunt.

Yesh, but:
You have to respect Drogba for playing 11 days after breaking his arm. Ronaldo gets a hair out of place and is out for a month...
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 23:30, Reply)

Fair play for that.
it just never looks plausible, someone that size rolling about on the ground. Ronaldo looks camp enough for it to suit him.

This is true.
God, I hate him. Proper, burning hatred.

If you're paid many thousands of pounds a week to kick a ball
And are built like a brick shithouse, you should at least be able to stay on two feet and not spend half the fucking match on your arse (yes Emile Heskey, I'm looking at you).

Rumour has it he's not on the sheet for tomorrow
In favour of Defoe.
That's only rumour since Capello's keeping up the idea of submitting the team sheet two hours before kick off.

Oh, Good.
Maybe Defoe will rape* the defence to death.

Oh, come on. He looks like he'd molest you as soon as look at you.

Defoe?
Oh man he'll totally kick the opposition's arse with his pumpkin bombs and souped up glider.

Oh hang on, I'm thinking of Spider Man aren't I?

Nope

Emile Heskey has the turning circle of an oil tanker.
When he walks backwards, the fucker beeps.
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 23:24, Reply)

Is this the same Emile Heskey who generally played well and set up England's goal against the USA?

(Cave Duck, Fri 18 Jun 2010, 9:07, Reply)

no, it's the one who has been consistently slightly below average for the many years that idiot managers have been picking him
he can barely stay on his fucking feet.

He can't shoot, he can't tackle, he can't run, he can't header.

he is getting better
we used to have bets down the pub on how many times he would randomly fall over
(Halfy By light alone, Fri 18 Jun 2010, 9:31, Reply)

And yet people like Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen like playing alongside him.
Still, I'm sure that you know more about it than they do.
(Cave Duck, Fri 18 Jun 2010, 9:32, Reply)

it's because he makes them look even better

I may disagree with you
but I have to admit that your punditry is far superior to inane, anodyne shit that both the BBC and ITV are serving up.
(Cave Duck, Fri 18 Jun 2010, 10:03, Reply)

the main thing about Heskey is that he is the Candyman
and no one wants a hook-handed killer playing for their country

That's the stuff
and to think that ITV are paying Adrian Chiles a fortune to overplay his bumbling man of the people act.

Wheras Heskey cries like a surrendering Frenchman every time he gets one on one with the keeper.
