World cup: winners and losers.
Well, it's all over (yes I hear some of you cheering)
so here's my winners and losers of the World cup.
in no particular order.
The BBC, tremendously good presentation on TV and radio, the BBC currently have an ad line that says "it's what we do", this is made true by their coverage, it's not flashy or OTT it's just professionalm well doen to them.
Leonardo, Beautiful man in body and mind one of only a few people I would turn gay for and I don't saying it, had some fine moments as a pundit, hope he's back for the next one.
Adrian Chiles: Always liked him, has a one of the lads feel but also has a good mind for talking the game.
Dutch fans for hving to take off their trousers due to them carrying the name of a dutch beer (see the losers below)
The Guardian, the two Ronnies featuring Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, consistently funny throughout.
Gorgeous women fans, giddy up!!!!!11!!!
The German people, always had a reputation of being serious humourless people the German friends I have belies this but there it is, however even from this distance the warmth from the German people was there to see, I expect the German tourist board are rubbing their hands.
Aaron Lennon, even putting aside the fact I am a Spurs fan, non spurs fans will testify the little appearances he had enhanced his reputation big time and will not only be a good sub for Beckham but will replace him sooner rather than later.
Oliver Khan, kept on the bench, appeared not interested but one moment he embraced his succesor and finally realised that the world respects him as a player.
last but not least MINGE!
Losers:
ITV, oh dear, get lost, no really just get lost.
Theo Walcott, Fine lad and it wasn't his fault but if he does play for Arsenal next year he'll find out opposition fans will give him a hard time, work experience is all well and good but we can give kids work experience of the wc anyway.
Budweiser, horrid "beer" signing exclusive deals in a country that prides itself on real beer to the detriment of other products is not going to endear yourself to anyone.
Ronaldo, well, what did you expect?
Divers and cheats, stop it now.
Zizou, well, up until the headbutt (Yes pedants I am aware that is a tortology because it was a chest butt but that doesn't sound good) he was superb, what an idiot.
FIFA continuing to sell tickets to touts, this has been a bugbear for many years but still it goes on.
Sepp Blatter, the sooner this twat gets out of football the better, he hates football, football hates him.
The entire England management right up to the top of the FA, continue to dick about and can't seem to grasp they are the problem not the solution.
Mike Selvey, moaning that England players were complaining about the heat when Cricketers play in India at much higher temperature, this is crap as cricketers do not exert anywhere near as much and have regular drinks breaks, can you imagine Gatt running around a pitch for 45 minutes?
Anyway, by and large a good World cup, see you in South Africa.
