<font size="4" face="Arial">Here's a serious question - how long will it take the commentators to mention either the words '1966' or 'england' as soon as the whistle blows in the Germany v Costa Rica match? I'll go for 25 seconds.Originally posted by Hairglamfan:

Carl, Some people can't root for their own country because they never made it to the finals. That's when they back anyone except the sworn enemy. [img]wink.gif[/img]
My heart says England, but my head says France could pull it out of the bag again.

1. Within 1 minute of kick off in the opening match (Germany v Costa Rica), the commentator must mention England.
2. Regardless of what two teams are contesting the final, England have to be mentioned within the first minute.
3. The commentator shall refer to the Falkland Isles in passing at some point in the match if England play Argentina.
4. Whenever a hat trick is scored, comparisons with Geoff Hurst will be made within seconds of the third goal hitting the net.
5. Should England wear their red jerseys, then '1966' should be mentioned approximately 20 times.
6. 1966 will be mentioned approximately 10 times a match, or only on 4 or 5 occasions for matches not involving England.
7. Prior to the captain of the winning team lifting the trophy, the commentator will mention Bobby Moore. And 1966.
8. When Germany are playing, they must be referred to as being arrogant by the commentator on at least 14 occasions. This must refer to their style, their passing, their haircuts and their general footballing ability.
9. Should England play Germany, mentions of Winston Churchill, Dambusters, The Luftwaffe and Adolf Hitler will be compulsory. And 1966.
10. All Scottish members of our commentary team must continue to refer to England as "we" and "us".
11. We must ensure that nationlistic stereotypes are adhered to. Of course, the Germans are arrogant. The Spanish are bottlers, The Ivory Coast are fast but bad at defending, The Angolans are disorganised, The Argentinians are cheats and the French are only good because their best players play in England.
12. For matches not involving England, we must only discuss the players that are playing in England. (eg - Holland v Argentina should be referred to as Van Nistelroy v Crespo).
13. The mythical "bulldog spirit" phrase should be used as often as possible.
14. Each match involving England should begin with the phrase "England Expects."
15. Should any player be involved in an injury that involves the loss of teeth, then references to Nobby Stiles and 1966 are compulsory.
16. If in doubt, mention 1966.
17. Praise all of the stunning new stadiums in Germany but emphasise that they lack the presence of Wembley, the spiritual home of football since 1966.
18. Commentators should feel free to imitate the style of Kenneth Wolstenholme, the hero of 1966.
19. Should any team feature brothers playing together, then Jackie and Bobby Charlton should be mentioned.
20. When England bow out after the first stage, we must emphasise that it is a massive blow to football and a serious loss to the World Cup
Don't worry Grant, only a couple of weeks and you can watch Wimbledon instead, and cheer on Andy Murray, LOL. [img]graemlins/sleepy.gif[/img]
Looking forward to the dizzy heights of the Scottish First Division this season? Think the Jags will stay up?
Andy Murray is such a moaning little shit, I hate him, he's like Bonnie Langford on Ritanol.
As for the Mighty Jags, yeah, made close to 15 signings already so we will stay up but Gretna will get promoted cos they have a millionaire engerlender backing them.
Whats you're team Stacey?

Oh its like taking grapes from a baby!!
<font size="4" face="Arial">Indeed, the greatest manager of all time. Shame no one can understand a word he says, lol.The team with the Scottish manager?!
I still want Martin O'Neill as replacement when Fergie eventually retires. A couple of years too late though.
inzaghi should be in germany as a reserve player as far as i know. i haven't given much attention to tv news and newspapers in the last 10 days so i'm not 100% sure.
