Just two days to go folks so I'm sure Adrian Chiles, The Boy Lineaker, Alan Green et all will be dusting off their well worn edition of World Cup Clichés 1990-2014.
I fully expect to be entertained by such old favourites as:
"There's no easy games in international football Clive..."
"Rumours are coming out of the French camp that the players are not fully behind the gaffer Gary..."
"Keep you eyes on [insert name of unheard of player here] who's been strongly linked next season to a move to Championship side Charlton..."
"I agree Lawro, African goalkeepers are often the weak link in the side but that looked decidedly suspicious to me..."
"Well there's Ronaldo's partner in the crowd, it's not a bad life as a footballer is it..."
"The heat in the stadium today reminds me of USA'94, who else remembers it was a bit warm then..?"
"...and as England crash out of the tournament on penalties once again, it's back to the drawing board for Greg Dyke..."
"Well, they'll be celebrating well into the night in Tehran after that shock defeat of Argentina..."
"You're right I'm sure we will know every word of Girl From Impanema by the time we leave for home Alan..."
Plus lots of pervy camera work of course...can't wait for it to start now!

"Listen Gary, id not had much sleep but certainly had one too many Brahma's, how was i to know she had a cock and b*llocks?
"We're here in Rio, where the samba party atmosphere is in full flight"
"There were lots of worries about the stadiums in brazil being finished on time"
"There were protests about the world cup coming here, but you can now see the brazillian people have really got behind this world cup"
"I just think Rooney just isn't quite as sharp as he usually is for united, Clive"
agree, really can't wait now, the lovely weather has made me feel more excited!
(those watching in telly land fall over laughing)
Then they will come up with half a dozen paragraphs the next day about how awful we were.
"Naive defending"
"Well, he is human afterall...."

He said his son would watch the tournament as a fan and would be supporting the team 100%.
Then I thought to myself - thats an Old Clichy.
"It's a typically disciplined performance by the Germans..."
And its carnival time here in Brazil as..... ...England draw 0-0 with Costa Rica/England progress to last 16/England score a goal etc etc
And they're dancing the samba here in Brazil as ......England draw 0-0 with Costa Rica/England progress to last 16/England score a goal etc etc
Can't believe I missed such an obvious one...

"Lower expectations than the golden generation"
Bla bla bla, I hate the commentary.
