The O&O 2014 World Cup Thread

OldGoat · 11-06-2014 11:54am #1

I'm creating this thread so that all football quips & quotes can all be placed into one convenient place for me to ignore. I'd hate to have to stop reading the Chat thread due to an influx of Soccer.

Good Luck Ireland!

looksee · 11-06-2014 12:00pm

What's happening? Did Ireland win a match or something?

OldGoat · 11-06-2014 12:07pm

From what I can gather in the endless conversations in the office we just bought Gordon Banks and then a plane crashed somewhere but Maradona lived to become a priest.

looksee · 11-06-2014 12:32pm

Er, right. OK. Puts mod hat on slightly tilted. So how you gonna handle this OG. Are soccer and related words now banned in the waiting room, like B*** N** and B**** ? Just so I know who to red card... :-)

OldGoat · 11-06-2014 12:57pm

Sounds about right. Red carding someone is footballish jargon right? Don't think we'll Ban anyone unless I'm really badly hungover and in a bit of a mood. We'll just move any fooballastic posts in here and ignore them forevermore.

So, just what is the onside rule?

looksee · 11-06-2014 1:29pm

On what side?

martinn123 · 12-06-2014 3:55pm

You have to admit, there are some lovely looking Brazilian ladies in them add's on TV.

Jellybaby1 · 12-06-2014 5:26pm

I will be watching some of the games, and those I miss I will be regaled with the goings-on on the pitch. I will be interested in the quarter finals, semi finals and the (Hallejuah) final but will be so tense I will have to leave the room and pace up and down in another room. This is just what I do every four years.

OldGoat · 12-06-2014 6:57pm

Football free pubs.

There is a desperate amount of noise coming from the sitting room tv. Cheering and shouting and stuff. I wish your man would put his hearing aids in.

TOMP · 12-06-2014 7:44pm

Anyone remember these competitions in the Sunday Press and Sunday Independent in the 1960's and 1970's? They were extremely popular. They showed a photo of a GAA match with the ball removed and you had to guess the position of the ball by placing an X at the spot and send in your entry. You could improve your chances by placing multiple X marks, accompanied by extra entry money, of course. Entered loads of times but never won a sausage!

martinn123 · 12-06-2014 7:45pm

Quick update, the Opening Ceremony was Krap.

Layinghen · 12-06-2014 8:03pm

What it has started already:eek:

Hopefully the good weather will kick in for the next few weeks and that will distract The Rooster from the football, and I won't have to listen to "very interesting" football facts.

I remember doing those competitions when I was a kid. I thought they were soccer though but I could be wrong. Never knew you had to send in money with it - oooh, that's why I never won a bean!

Jellybaby1 · 13-06-2014 7:03pm

c'mawn Cameroooooon!!!!!

Ah darnnit!

martinn123 · 13-06-2014 8:48pm

van Persie, what a goal.

BBDBB · 13-06-2014 8:49pm

that was a stunning finish by Van Persie

martinn123 · 13-06-2014 9:23pm

Put the San Miguel, back in the Fridge, it's all Dutch Gold tonight.

Chucken · 14-06-2014 5:21pm

Rubecula · 14-06-2014 5:45pm

You can be there to welcome the Greek football team home from the world Cup

Chucken · 14-06-2014 6:04pm

:mad:

They might wake up for the 2nd half!

Rubecula · 14-06-2014 6:28pm

They did, just in time to watch Colombia score again lol

Jellybaby1 · 14-06-2014 6:38pm

Awwwww! (I always cheer for the under-dogs)

Chucken · 14-06-2014 6:57pm

Aw well. poor Greece

So, the next game...Come on Uraguay

Haven't they a lovely happy flag?

martinn123 · 14-06-2014 8:40pm

Ireland are struggling a bit against Argentina, 1/2time it's 10-9.

Hope the second half is better.

( Krap, wrong forum, I'm talking Rugby, wonder if anyone will notice )

Jellybaby1 · 14-06-2014 9:11pm

You gave me quite a shock there. I thought we'd forgotten to send a team.

Rubecula · 16-06-2014 9:28pm

I did see the Dubs beat Wexford in hurling .... does that count?

Erm.....no.

martinn123 · 17-06-2014 8:16pm

There's a chap called Fred, playing for Brazil.

I wonder what his surname is?

martinn123 · 17-06-2014 8:55pm

Oops Dunphy says the F Word, live on RTE

That will provide more comment than the first half, which was lousy.

Frederico Chaves Guedes :cool:

Rubecula · 18-06-2014 5:49pm

Not as good as Talented Tim Cahill the aussie (And ex-Everton) Player

martinn123 · 18-06-2014 10:59pm

Cameroon, they make lovely chocolate bars.

Or is that Macaroon.

martinn123 · 19-06-2014 10:39pm

En,Ger Land seem to be in some trouble.

Perhaps we could invite the Queen over for another visit, to soothe the nerves, I really enjoyed her last trip here.

martinn123 · 20-06-2014 7:33pm

So En,GerLand are out, and they still have one game to play, before they all go on holiday to Costa Rica.

BBDBB · 20-06-2014 10:01pm

Italy were poor, Costa Rica were very very good

France were awesome

Ramette · 21-06-2014 12:49am

I enjoyed the team who did a big dance when they scored, think it was Cameroon?

Rubecula · 21-06-2014 7:34pm

I watched a game

Honduras and Ecuador

Good entertainment, it was all rush and run just like a footy game used to be. I actually enjoyed it.

martinn123 · 22-06-2014 9:52pm

According to the lads on RTE,

Algeria, look like World Beaters,

North Korea look like Panel Beaters

So if you have a car problem, look out for some Koreans.

So that's what they've been doing while their neighbours from the South were in playing in the finals

We heard that one on RTE too. They must have been writing these for weeks in preparation! And yeah, South Korea more likely. Kim wouldn't let his lads play.

Here's Kim:

Chucken · 23-06-2014 12:35am

I'd love to visit North Korea..

I stopped posting my little flags cos I got bored. Might start again once it narrows down a bit.
It's like the Eurovision thread for me

I cant see her throwing his dinner to the dog when he arrives in late from the pub.

Back OT, I felt sorry for the USA last night. Conceding the equaliser with 20 seconds left must have been heartbreaking

Yes, its a bit difficult to comprehend those attitudes - and people putting up with it.

martinn123 · 24-06-2014 8:39pm

At least Norman Whiteside, only " Bites your Legs "
