FIFA World Cup 2010- South Africa.

[priorpeter]

Was waiting for it 

 

[BrisRecky]

Just out of curiosity...did the FFA send any of our refs to south africa??

The AFC chose the refs .... none of ours were 'good' enough

Irmatov (Uzbek) seems to be going well.

o.k...cause i was just thinking how much fun Breeze would be having with his red and yellow cards...he'd end up with RSI

 

[priorpeter]

Err... Wow.
Portugal.

Don't believe all you see on wikipedia ... the most common use of 'skit' as a verb is to taunt someone. We used to say 'skit on you' where I grew up in the North of England around 1970 so it is hardly new. There are several guesses as to its origin, but Wales isn't a likely one.

You English! Think you own the language ...

I was hearing skit as a noun, for a short dramatic/comedy item in Australian in the early 1960s.

The argument is about it's use as a verb not a noun.

Uruguay, Both teams to score(SA & Fra), Both teams to score (Kor & Nig) at $20.93

Noice. And the French pain and disgrace to make it even better

 

[serious14]

Yakubu with the miss of the millenium against Korea.  Unbelievable.

 

[serious14]

And the French pain and disgrace to make it even better

From today's "Le Parisien":

'Every day, Les Bleus push back the frontiers of the unacceptable. This band of spoilt children, left free to do what they like by their entire hierarchy, has no limit, no sense of duty so close to the match against South Africa. To have the worst football team at the World Cup was already unbearable. To also have the most stupid is intolerable...The mutiny at Knysna will forever remain the Waterloo of French football'

 

[FFC Mariner]

Wow, they think that Waterloo was their worst disaster? Try 1940.

Methinks the English press will be harsher if/when it all goes tits up tonight
