I hope France win the World Cup mainly because it would make a complete joke out of the competition. A team that cheated to get there wins it.

It was a disaster last summer at the Confederations Cup and it's already wrecking my head. Blame Blatter and the South African FA. Some players, managers and TV networks wanted them banned too. Contact FIFA HQ. It's a joke.

Blatter wanted to show how politically correct he was. FIFA couldn't ban something 'African' at a finals in Africa. :rolleyes: Boll*x.

Next time we have a big match here I reckon we have 80,000 bodhráns and see what happens.

jtsuited

plastic metre-long horns are 'african'? yeah saw some blatter quotes about it earlier. idiot.

True. If you were the manager of YouAreGay you'd have worked out Frances tactics by now.

There's money to be made in that you know. You could advertise it as a nixer, company for all the World Cup widows :pac: I know one lady who'd be delighted to have someone to discuss faces and legs with while the matches are on.

And the big horns?

/ok i'm getting too excited. Sorry.

naughto

if the football was any good you wouldnt take as much heed of the horn yokes but seeing that its a sh1t game ya hear it more.

I love the idea of ringing RTE and complaining about the vuvvzelas (as tho they're to blame for it)

It's like ringing Fox News on the 9th November 2001 and complaining because some aeroplanes just crashed into the Twin Towers (actually not that far fetched now that I think of it).

RTE's audio seems a lot more bassy than the BBC's. I think that's adding to the problem

Yup but even after messing with the sound on my TV it still didnt make it any better, and its crap without sound so mute isnt an option

It wouldn't be too hard for RTE to sort it out in fairness. Their sound engineer could cut the feed from the pitch or at least reduce the treble on it which would dampen them a bit. I hope FIFA make a quick decision to ban them. Why the **** should I have to watch these matches on mute because the host country want to blow into a ****ing pipe for 90 minutes?

Serves the snakey little thief right. Now all I want is for him to break both his hands, his legs, his spine and his neck and karma is well and truly served.

I'd settle for France going out at the group stage without scoring a goal.

It wasn't handball. It was ball-to-hand. Very important.
