Or just have a Bratwurst!

Red Hare

Yum Yum, Bratwurst und a certain Nun!

Layinghen

Congrats Red Hare.

Brens I think you might be more relieved than dissappointed:p

martinn123

Right that's Red Hare through to the Semi's, hard look Brensbenz, but I did pick that one for you, so blame me.

To be followed I hope by my Columbia.

Unless Muffler's Brazil, can turn on the style.

Quick pizza, and maybe a beer, back at 9.

I'm really looking forward to the match. Got a nice bottle of Marlborough chillin'
for a five o clock kick off! Hope Brens is doing ok.

Viva la Germany!

BrensBenz is doing fine - thanks very much for your support. Met a great bunch of people at the chemo-saloon today, professional but human, if you know what I mean.

Now, that football match: I know the pundits will go on for hours about why Frawse got whupped but I know the REAL reason - it wasn't the REAL Frawse team!

Well, just look! Some of them were wearing.......dayglo boots......that didn't co-ordinate with their football costumes. Some of them (and I know you won't believe this but check the repeats) were wearing ODD dayglo boots, i.e. orange dayglo AND green dayglo on the same player! Not wanting to get these designer, fashion-statement boots dirty, they wouldn't (like) run around much or kick the ball thing, especially later in the game, when it was all dirty an' stuff.
AND, some of those hair-dos, well Claude, I ask you! What were they thinking?

Meanwhile, the Deutscher team came dressed for business.

The team that showed up may be interviewed by the Frawse Fashion Police but I wonder if the real team were taken prisoner by some humanitarian group or, maybe, since they spend so much time together, all of their menstrual cycles aligned and the coach excused them from PE. Hmmmm! We may never know......or care.

Enjoy your Marlborough and, if you need any help supporting Germany, let me know.

"Deutschland Deutschland uber Frenchie Frogs,
Dumpy dum dum...dum dumpy dum...."

Your'e a howl Brensbenz !

Tense last 10 minutes.

Rubbish match, terrible team, but Brazil are through.

Layinghen

Horrific.

Congrats Muffler.

Hard luck (again;)) Martinn.

Malbec is breathing, juicy steak waiting to go on the BBQ at half time


And



A goal up already

(Fingers crossed for the Argies):D:D

martinn123

Malbec, juicy steak, and a place in the Semi's where else would you find it.

BrensBenz

Just heard that some top Brazilian player had a vertebra broken in a nasty tackle. I know from experience that that could sting a bit and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Now, where was I? Oh yes, is it over yet? I mean like it must be like nearly over by now like.

• The ladies grunting is finished at Wimbledon;
• The Taw duh Frawse started in Yawwwwkshih - it's downhill all the way to Frawse so that won't take long;
• There was motorbike road-racing in Skerries today - lots of red flags but, as far as I know, no injuries;
• Dublin Bay Mermaid Week (deh whoh Joe? Look it up in Google) is in Rush next month. Now, there's a spectator sport!

So, lets try to get this fuhbullin' finished ASAP and maybe OarTE will show some of the sailing. Couldn't they just toss coins for it and let all the fuhbullers go home to watch the Mermaids?

Oh Gawwwd! Just remembered the Gehhhh Awww Loyurland Foynil will infest us soon. Those hilarious flags on car windows; the static electricity and puke-inducing Gehhh gansies; the "shur it'll be a tough metch yih knaw bush Oi tink we ken do ish" and the evergreen "tiz a shockin' pihhy dah deh losht aftur awl deh wurk deh puh hin trehnin' like."

Only here

Commiserations Rubes.

Now down to the cellar to make sure I have a few more bottles of Argentinas finest left. I think my imbibing is helping the team:D

Red Hare

Oh Gaawwd Brensbenz, I don't think you'd last long in my house. Mr Hare and I so far have watched;
Clare V Wexford
Argentina V Belgium
Tipp V Galway
and now we are going to watch ;
Holland V Costa Rica
:eek:

C'mon the Netherlands!

Jellybaby1

Yep, come on da Dutch!! OI! OI! OI! I'm sittin' here dressed from head to toe in a delicate shade of orange (well, that's a bare faced lie for a start!) and I'm wearing my clogs, and when we win, I'll do a clog dance for yiz. Gerrup there Netherlands!!!

martinn123

OK, just to confuse matters, I always wondered why Holland, is correct, or is it The Netherlands

Go Figure.

Jellybaby1

Ok, so we started slow - himself said cagey, but I thought we were either faffing about or just trying to conserve energy. By golly it hotted up didn't it, some great football, lots of opportunities, but that bluddy ball is really a boomerang in disguise. What a goalie Costa Rica have, he's brilliant, and he is making things a bit difficult for us Dutch so I am going to have a talk with the lads in the dressing room now (:):)) as we have to up our game. I do believe the Costa Ricans want to cripple our Robben, or is it our Rubecula? Hey Rube, are you playing for us?

martinn123

According to ' Dunphy'

The Dutch need to get on their Bikes.

Jellybaby1

Ah sure what would he know?

Jellybaby1

Is anyone rooting for Costa Rica then? Why am I hooting for the Netheregions then? I'm sure we will win you know. C'mon the Netheregions!!

martinn123

He probably wanted to say they needed a spliff.

Jellybaby1

Well, if anyone can get one of those they can.

I think Mr Hare, took on that duty, but I can't confirm.:D

Jellybaby1

We shouldn't split hares should we?

Red Hare

Mr Hare is a bit non committal ( hope I spelled that right) but wishes for a goal or two to liven things up! :cool:

I listened to something about this recently. Apparently, UK and Ireland are the only countries that call it Holland, everybody else call it the Netherlands or the equivalent in their own languages. There are a lot of second and third generation Dutch in NCD but I'm not aware of them being annoyed by "Holland" but I'm starting to use "Netherlands" becaushe they're another grand bunch of ladsh, proud of their heritage.

A bit like everywhere calls us Ireland except the UK man in the street who refers to us as Southern Ireland or Suthehn Awlund.

By the way, "everywhere" excludes the USA who just make up words and relentlessly impose them on the planet through constant repetition by Hollywood or Silicon Valley.

PS: Is it over yet?

Jellybaby1

Oh its over now all right. What a game! I'm totally shattered. I don't want to go through that again........whaaaat? I have to go through that again? Argentina! Oh Noooooo! I'm off to put my lads to bed and make them some cocoa! I'm so worn out now.

Red Hare

Congrats JB - The dutch really showed us all how to do a penalty shootout! Can't wait for the next match with Argentina.
