More World Cup musings

Ronaldo is the Elvis of the World Cup. Except nobody seems to prefer fat old Ronaldo, whereas as fat old Vegas Elvis still had his share of fans. Maybe the Japanese Prime Minister likes Ronaldo.

“Barty” Crouch pulled on the T’n’T player’s dreadlocks while scoring his goal? Now that is rude.

Harry Kewell is under investigation for bad language. An Australian player in trouble for swearing? I can’t believe it.

As angry as I am at Les Bleus, they DID get screwed out of a second goal. The Korean goal keeper’s hand was clearly behind the line when he caught the ball and pushed it back out. Rip-off.

Suisse 2 – Togo 0

So the undeserving French aren’t officially out of it yet. If they can beat Togo (a BIG IF since they can’t apparently beat anybody even if their stinkin' lives depend on it) and somebody wins the Suisse v. Korea game, then France are okay. If Suisse v. Singing Korea tie, then I dunno. Goal differential something or other comes into play. Whatever.

Just start Ribery. Vive la cicatrice.

I can’t even begin to figure out how the Azzurri get in or go home. I hate this Group of D****. I’m still crying too many bitter tears to contemplate the whole messy matter.
