I honestly couldn't care less about the world cup, apart from the boring game there is all the cynical money making, the cleaning up of local whores in readiness of drunk, randy foreigners and the thousands who were evicted brutally from their homes to make way for the stadia.
Then there is the bloody flags, usually I like flags, the English ST Georges flag especially is a great example of a brilliant yet simple design, filling the space while not over-aweing it.
Watching the ad film repeatedly isnt much fun either, but today I found space in my heart to like a bit of this world cup, and the reason was the BBC who are (as we speak which is why Im doing this) using THE CLASH and their 'I'm so bored with the U.S.A.' tune to advertise the coming game. Great choice.
(THE CLASH LIVE, JOE WAS PROUD OF OUR HOOLIGANS)
The game is about to start and England have just gone through 'God save the queen', and Im happy to say that although the team tried to mumble along in time they didnt know a verse between them, and Mr Potato-man, goiter faced Rooney didnt try at all because he cant think tactics, stand and sing at the same time, if he tried he would fall over, such a badly wired brain cant process so many different kinds of task at one time.
Ooh, England have just scored one! Im not supposed to say this but if the U.S. team won it would be a hoot, all those weeping beer bellies staggering home at closing time would be sure to cause Biblical amounts of large scale damage and blood would flow in the Tiber.
If only Joe were here now.
