Apparently, Def, five million people (1/5 of total British workforce) took the day off today to watch the game. That is not counting 2.5 million others who have called in sick. Economist magazine estimates almost $2 billion, that's billion with b, of loss in productivity caused by this match alone. Dem Engleesh crayzee, maaan!
Argentinians had the slogan, "if you are not jumping, you are Englishman." Well, today in Sapporo Dome, they were jumping and they were Englishmen. I wonder what Maradona is thinking now. Before today, he was telling everybody that English are quaking in their boots. I bet Argentinians are quaking in their boots now.
Talking about the arena, was that football field something or what? First of all, it's a covered dome with natural turf. To grow the grass right, the entire field slides in and out - and wait, not only that - it rotates around inside. Dem Japaneeze crayzee, maaan!
And whassup with that guy Rivaldo? Talk about being a faker. No, talk about being a woossie. So the other team-player kicked the ball at him illegally, but his simulation was so blatant, so pathetic, so yucky, I almost threw up. Yesterday, during the NHL game, they were showing and making fun of that clip, saying, "we do not want to be like that guy." Indeed.
And how about taking one for the team? I feel so sorry for that Korean dude, who got hit by the ball at a point blank range, right on his fully exposed "crown jewels" in front of 2 billion people. Ouch! I get sympathy pain even from thinking about it. But then, to counter that pain, I remember those beautiful Korean female spectators, jumping up and down. I tell ya, dem Korean gals crayzee, maaan!
