    Working from home, every opportunity to watch it, but I'm not.

    Not a football fan at all, I find the sport dull, the press coverage excessive and the "personalities" involved in the whole business idiotic. I also think it's riddled with cheating, gamesmanship and clannish violence.

      In the village where I live, lots of people have decorated their cars, houses and gardens with all sorts of orange stuff, supposedly ‘supporting’ the Netherlands national football team. Do they not realize that their beloved footballists are all several thousand kilometers away in South Africa and therefore unable to appreciate the tacky orange decorations?

          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              It's a funny old game you know, a game of two halves.

                  Bloomberg's news room in NY just went mental when the US scored. The poor anchor and the guest doing a valiant job of continuing with their interview.

                    So all the fuss this afternoon was about the septics playing soccer?

                      Worse than the football is the post match expert opinion/dissection and posmortem, which to appreciate fully you'd need a double lobotomy.
