    Miralem Pjanic only 36 , surprised he didn't find a way to keep going longer so he could've potentially have played in this world cup

    Too many hot dogs! Am in a chair :) Lets see!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    Not quite sure what is happening. We have two people who seem to be apologizing to each other while people dressed in gold try to play with footballs but they keep losing them and running after them :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    Now we have people in white pants that they seem to be airing out and running after each other like starlings? from here it is not quite clear who they are running after??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    Wow…. everyone is leaving the pitch in a seriously orderly fashion. This is the most incredible thing I have seen today! It's like a little ant workers farm!

    And the crowd goes…. mild!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    The stadium here is packed with people who are…. SITTING… and Scrolling on phones….. they are all dressed out in all the colors. Its an amazing amount of dead meat :/

    Hoping when the players come on the pitch they will get up and off their trott… feet!

    It is seas and seas of flags on totally disinterested people.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    I remember a sketch from David Baddiel where he said to the USA "This is not a fun game, its OUR game and you have ruined it!" and I have been looking for it on you tube. If anyone can find this old old clip let me know. It seems fitting.

    The professionals have been out and warming up for an age now. Not sure when the other crowd are gonna show up. Must be about 45 minutes now? Losers wanna wear the other team out :) But they are putting on a nice display of lattice football back and forth.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    Ream just missed two practice short passes totally and then missed his mouth with two bottles of water. He is running back and forth on the side lines. USA looking like scared amateurs here! Im usually impartial but I really wanna see this team beaten :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    dont tell the sea of meat around me this!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    The seats middle pitch right and left remain mostly empty



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    its like Dublin V Carlow on a BAD day here. Many many seats empty. Not sure if they are shwing this on TV



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    not sure I have seen this many empty seats since the u15 cmagogie! I am informed Tom Cruise in somewhere signing autographs…. though none of them have ever seen paper OR pen before!!! This is wild.

    Hi all back home! I am so happy to have been invited on this hunting and football trip! The football is a wet squidge in a paper towel so far! But the hunt will be good! See you all next week!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    ok my favorite moment was when the announcer in the brown suit came out and a guy in front of me dropped his beer and his hot dog and shouted…. I kid you not…. "Is that iron man???"

    Thats going to be my world cup moment :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    not sure what is happening but there is a small boy trying to slowly move away from some crazy person in a dress but she keep pulling him back :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    The anthem was a flop here in the stands. It was NOT the flower of Scotland I tell you :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    Amazing feeling in the crowd for the kick off. Everyone woke up! LOVELY feeling there.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 13,987 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    I have no idea what's going on in this thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    and again the crowd goes mild! Goal!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭taxAHcruel


    I think its just become me reporting from the stands :)
