Martin B Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Dan, you forgot to include in your utopia the Welsh team qualifying for the World Cup. And in case anyone is interested, Wales have only qualified for one World Cup Finals - 1958 in Sweden. They drew their three group games (1-1 against Hungary and Mexico and 0-0 against Sweden). This meant they and Hungary finished joint second in the group and had to play each other again for a place in the quarter-finals. Wales won the play-off 2-1 and faced Brazil in the quarter-final. Hungary had been very dirty in the play-off and I think Wales's best player, John Charles, was injured and couldn't play against Brazil. Brazil won that game 1-0 with Pele scoring his first World Cup goal. For further information you can try tracking down the book entitled "When Pele Broke Our Hearts: Wales and the 1958 World Cup" by Mario Risoli. This has been Richard T, your Welsh football correspondent, formerly of the glamorous Welsh Riviera resort of Porthcawl. PS Why is Cinderella no good at football? Because her coach is a pumpkin. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I am afraid I cannot bear football. Its not really the game I object to - its the ridiculous amount of hype that we have already had to put up with. The football (not just the world cup) disrupts all the normal tv offerings, interferes with listening to the radio and takes over all conversations outside of our house (as the hub hates it too - more a rugger man!). It is over hyped, far too expensive to follow as a matchgoer for the average person and causes far too much 'tribal' violence. The fees paid for these semi-literate cavemen are obscene. They provide a negative role model as youngsters all want to be footie players and earn a fortune and see these players as the way to do it, no need to study at school, just learn how to play footie. What was once a sport for the masses has been overtaken with greed and is now manipulated for monetary purposes. ...and another thing - I bet Wimbledon is re-scheduled on the BBC as a result of the footie! Well said Helen!! The people in my department all love football (yet support Southampton..........) and my boss (a woman) gets really childish if I try and say the above - she slates Bournemouth football club (i've only worked with her for 7 years you think she'd know that 1. I dont live in Bournemouth and 2. I DONT LIKE FOOTBALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Poor hubby is working this weekend and because he is a known footie hater, he has been told he will be on console for the match duration without a break as the other two guys will be in the crew room watching the match. How unfair is that? Why do fottie fans assume that the world has to stop for them to watch 22 men kick a ball around? why do they think its their god given right to sit watching the telly when the are AT WORK, making other people work harder to cover for them?
