World Cup Cliche Bingo

I have already heard today that, 'the ball moves around in the air and is hard to control'. I expect to hear it every day for the next 6 weeks. Another I expect to hear 'early doors':

"The [insert any African country] defence was a bit naive there"

Any more?

  • Bound to dispute the birthdate of at least one African footballer...
  • He's got good feet for a big man.
  • Mention of passion/drive/commitment about Terry/Rooney/Gerrard after a hard challenge/brave header
  • I think they're the most colourful supporters I've ever seen.

    Riot police in town square

    We're gonna take 1 game at a time
  • 1966. Especially when looking for omens from non-England matches

    Hand of God - especially for Argentina and France

    The War - Germany

    Samba Football - Brazil, even though they're going defensive this time.

    Determination is always "steely"

    Commitment is usually "honest"

    With only the South Africans fully at home in their surroundings I'm expecting at least one manager to "Lose the dressing room". Perhaps they should print out maps?

    " Roooooooney! - if a Brazilian had done that we'd all have been raving about it!"
    (just before raving about it).

    "There's some tired legs out there".

    Frequent mentions of "David Beckham territory" whenever England get a free kick in the final third, accompanied by a close up of him sitting in the crowd.

    Close ups of the most gorgeous woman in the stadium, wiggling about in a too tight t shirt followed by,
    "Well, she's enjoying herself".

    That's the one !

    I expect 'long, hard season' to be trotted out repeatedly. Similarly the conditions suiting the Europeans

    Most mentioned individual of the whole tournament will be Nelson Mandela
  • "Struggling playing at Altitude"

    "The Altitude is not as bad as Mexico"


    Appaling Goalkeeping from the [insert any African country]
  • Belo horizonte and 1950 will be mentioned against the septics at least 5 times FACT
  • Lots of mentions about how the Italians are usually 'slow starters' and constant reminders to 'never write off the Germans'.
  • Sponsored links:


  • "..well we shouldn't be surprised. **** has missed a part of the domestic season with an injury"

    *insert, glenn jonhson, rio ferdinand, ashley cole, ledley king, gareth barry, wayne rooney, steven gerrard, joe cole, jermaine defoe or aaron lennon.
  • "he is not able train properly between matches" when Ledley King plays
  • Something about Diana and immigrants in the Daily Mail's write ups of each game.

    "The ugly side of English football/ the English disease" after a confused pensioner from Burnley is deported for jay- walking.

    "orgasm sound" whenever way Rooney steps on the pitch if Clive Tyldsey is commentating


    "Once again England face penalties"
  • Spanish eyes are smiling

    classics.

    Someone knock up an actual bingo card please that can be email to friends.
  • Mention of the Japenese/S.Korea/N.Korea sides 'not being the biggest'.

    'Uruguay are of course two-time World Cup winners' - but this will be dismissed as an irrelevance as it's over half a century since they last won. England not having won anything for a similar length of time will, of course, be swiftly glossed over.
  • 'It is like Rorkes Drift out there' - as England are desperately hanging on to a lead.

    Player X has really put himself in the Premiership shop window with that performance

    That has added another million or 2 to his value

    Rumours of discontent in the Dutch camp

    'First half good, second half not so good' - Sven's take on the match

    That would have been a red card earlier in the tournament
  • Messi has struggled to recapture his Barca form in an Argentina shirt

    Germany are through on penalties

    England are out on penalties

    You've got to admire Rooney's determination - shortly before he loses his head and gets sent off

    The Sun will also run an article when we play Slovenia comparing the lifestyles and salary of Rooney/Terry/Rio to the Slovenian left back who works part time as a sheep farmer earning £5 a year.
  • Any hint of a penalty shoot out will 100% bring a reference of England, regardless whether we're in said shoot-out or not.

    Crouch's "Ariel threat"

    Defoe/SWP being "The shortest man/men on the pitch"

    Slovenia/Slovakia/Honduras "Capitulating"
  • Football was the winner tonight...

  • Always a carnival atmosphere when Brazil are in town
  • Large portions of commentaries being based on connections with England,

    "he was actually born in Salford. Ho Ho"
    "And he spent a season at Stoke, but didn't feature much."
    "Of course, he played under Capello at Juvenus"
    "The linesman is from Russia. Ho ho ho"
    Any ball hitting off the cross bar and bouncing somewhere in the 6 yard box will be likened to 66

    A debate will ensue about the application of the offside rule before someone will quip, "well if we don't understand it..." despite it being perfectly simple and understood by my old mum.

    Inevitably most of the commentators won't know anything about players outside of the EPL, and won't have thought they ought to have done any homework. Occasionally they'll try and cover this by throwing in something like "he's very highly rated in Honduras, this lad where they call him the Honduran Wayne Rooney. Although only because he has sex with old hoors.

    Motty if he's still going and whatever "expert" they have chirping at his shoulder will display an alarming lack of knowledge about the sport despite drawing a salary from it for many years.

    Some mention of whatever idiocy Pele has allowed to rumble out of his gob, presented as if it is in some way authoritative wisdom.

    When someone gets a yellow card Poll will get a mention for his fkwittery. To be fair it wasn't even the stupidest thing he did in that game...
  • "ooooh, he hit that TOO well."

    The England players will be described as 'hungry' despite staying in one of the best hotels available.

    "No matter how many penalties you take in training, you'll never get the feelings of pressure of the real thing."

    Capello will be described as 'disciplined' and 'running a tight ship'.
  • Theo Wallcott being left behind (last time all the talk was of him being taken along!).

    If we only score one goal in the whole tournament, I expect one D Bent to get a mention, otherwise he won't.
  • Ronaldinho mentioned alot, even though hes not playing

    'Mr Capello running a tight ship'

    Lampards inability to play with gerard under sven

    Lightening pace of aaron lennon
  • fans on phone in's accusing international coaches of being "tactically naive"
  • Was it completely over the line...?

    When do you want that by sir?
  • Clive Tyldsey, surely the biggest cliche junkie of them all, will use the term 'Bafana Bafana' at every available opportunity.
