World Soccer XV: Diver Down

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

I was concerned that I didn't have enough verses, really, and then Italy up and does that. Wonderful. Remember, this is to the tune of Cheap Trick's "Surrender."

---

Evra gave you a declaration
Les Bleus have just gone on strike
After you dismissed Anelka
For words you didn't like

He told the coach to "******* himself"
And called his mom a whore
You gave a s**** performance
As they showed your team the door

Your team is a mess
Your coach is a mess
You are a disgrace in blue
Surrender!
Surrender!
'Cause that's the French thing to do
Do, do...

Your team was too busy diving
To find the actual goal
Wonder if Guiseppi saw that
From his Bayonne s*** hole?

The one time your team didn't suck
You tried to fake a fight
Against a Slovak goalkeeper
What a pathetic sight!

Your team is a mess!
Your coach is a mess!
You are a disgrace in blue!
Surrender, Surrender!
It's Italy's thing to do!
Do, do, do....

(Guitar break and key change!)

Your planes are waiting at the airport
To trace a homeward route
I'd suggest you keep your eyes out
For missiles of rotten fruit

Now leave this Cup
For teams that want it
And seem to give a crap
We'll play those teams you lost to
That we can't find on the map

France has crashed out!
Italians crashed out!
We'll see you in four more years!
Surrender, surrender!
Now get the hell out of here!
Here, here!

Random thought since I'm bored at work today...You know what the only thing is that would've made yesterday's game better? If Gus Johnson had been calling the game.

Was never a big fan of Jack Edwards. His goal calls were way too scripted/verbose. Gus Johnson's primeval roars when he calls buzzer beaters in the NCAA tournament are classic. I can only imagine what he would've done yesterday.
 
Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

I know it was eight years ago now, but when you look at Japan and South Korea advancing away from home soil, I have to think hosting the World Cup did a lot for them.

This time they've done it without the help of the officiating and done it completely under their own merits. Very impressive.
 
Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

The knockout stage is setting up to be very similar to 2002 with some cinderella runs.

Plenty of non-traditional powers have very good shots to make it to the Quarterfinals.

Ghana or United States will be there, Uruguay or South Korea, Slovakia could be there, Paraguay, Chile, Switzerland.

Very cool indeed!

Strange things seem to happen when the tournament isn't in Europe...
 
Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

Loads of credit to Japan, they played far more positively than I imagined they would.


I think it's kind of cool to see Uruguay do well, with them winning the first one 80 years ago.
 
Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

match-ups so far...

USA v. Ghana
England v. Germany
Netherlands v. Slovakia
Japan v. Paraguay
Uruguay v. South Korea
Argentina v. Mexico

While I would love to see Slovakia advance, we get the Netherlands, and, well, I'm not that crazy...
 
Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but man, the potential matchups in the knockout stage are looking really favorable for the US.
