The World Cup

[ExiledWelshman]

So people, who's your money on?

I have sneaky feeling Argentina might triumph on Brazilian soil.

Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't in;
I jumped upon his Sunday hat and poked it with a pin.
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a sham;
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of lamb;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was away,
I stuffed his socks with sawdust and filled his shoes with clay.
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a cheat,
Taffy came to my house, and stole a piece of meat;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not there,
I hung his coat and trousers to roast before a fire​

Argentina was extremely lucky with the draw, landing a soft group and they will then probably be paired with Switzerland in the second round. Belgium could be tricky in the quarters and it is likely to be Spain, Holland or Uruguay in the semi-finals. Difficult but not unsurpassable. Argentina won’t fear Brazil or Germany if they reach the final. Messi is the man, but Aguero, Higuain and Lavezzi are all very dangerous. So your hunch could be very good and you can get 5-1 odds!!

Belgium are just about the most interesting team there for me.

So much talent but zero tournament experience. Glad they've called up januzaj, he's fanstastic.

My money is on FIFA to rake in the cash, leaving Brazil with massive debts.

Cynical, but a fair point.

Will England play 4 or 5 games before coming home. I'm even considering it might only be 3.

The Welshman's dishonest
he cheats when he can,
And little and dark
more like monkey than man.
He works underground
with a lamp in his hat,
And sings far too loud,
far too often and flaaat...

I seriously don't expect us to get out of the group.

I'm rooting for the Red Sox as usual.

Actually the entire world gives a huge fuck about it. But no USA rednecks give a fuck...that much is true.

The NHL playoffs are on.

Only pussies like 'football'.
