Is no-one watching this? There damn well better be some ghetto booty in this, so far it's just a bunch of failed actors waving space blankets about

who was the old guy singing badly, it was if my grandad had a few pints and thought he could sing an old boxcar willy tune

this is now like a primary school play when you get 6 kids to walk holding sticks to make it look like a giant spider is walking across the stage

 

[harris78]

i see they are doing the births of Brazil. I wonder if they will re-enact Pele's mum pushing him out.

I hope Tony Hibbert leads Russia out.
