APOLLO Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Bryan Ruiz goes into the Costa Rica changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. "What's up?" he asks."Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only England. They're sh*t and we can't be bothered".Ruiz looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down the pub."So Ruiz goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Costa Rican team go off for a few beers. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so get the landlord to put the TV on. A big cheer goes up as the screen shows"Costs Rica 1 (Ruiz 10 minutes) - England 0 "He is beating England all by himself! Anyway, a few more beers later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on" They put the TV on."Result from the Estadio Do Maracana : Costa Rica 1(Ruiz 10 minutes) - England 1 (Rooney 89 minutes)."They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against England!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down""Don't be stupid, you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end!""No, No, I have, I've let you down!. I got sent off after 12 minutes"The Costa Rican squad break out into a impromptu:Ta Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan RuizTa Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan RuizTa Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan RuizTa Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan RuizTa Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan RuizTa Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan Ruiz Ta Da Ta Da Ta Da Ta Bryan Ruiz Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I believe that England manager (whatever his name is) is on something illegal - either that or he lives in a dreamworld.

trisonic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Sadly football has veered away from being just a sport and is now more an entertainment industry. With the large amounts of money coming in from domestic and international tv deals, the players can command a bigger and bigger share of the pot as they are effectively the "actors" just like the top Hollywood film stars get paid obscene amounts. It does not make it right. Doctors, nurses and teachers etc do far more important jobs but can only dream of such pay. As a teacher of 15 years experience I have taught many children but my current annual wage is 10% of what Rooney earns a week. Hey! Don’t knock the entertainment industry - at least we entertain......................................................................... Best, Pete.

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted June 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2014 I am currently working out in Malaysia (didn't ask about model shops in KL, I know what the answer is!!), and their focus has been on the poor showing of the Asian teams in general. 'Shame on Asia!' grumbled the Malaysian Star on its back page, before going on to complain about the total haul 3 points and seven goals from the world's biggest continent (correct as of yesterday's standings). They did include Australia in their stats as well. So it is not just England, Spain and now Italy getting flack... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 South Americans playing on their home turf. They are natural born footballers - the best. No one will beat them, except each other. I expect 2 South American teams will be in the final - but, who knows, - it's a funny old game. Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PaternosterRow Posted June 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2014 I agree with a lot of what's been said about money spoiling the game etc and we can also blame Rooney for missing again and again and again, we can blame Gerrard, we can blame Hodgson and his tactics etc, but none of this matters in the end, does it? When dissapointment fades and cool heads prevail we will all start to realise that the only thing that really matters is how our national team conducted itself. England is the home of football, the rules formulated on the very playing fields of Cambridge itself. Rules that were founded on the principles of fair play, point of order and the spirit of competition for competition's sake. We have never cheated, bitten or handballed our way to victory and nor should we (Mr Rooney should take note and stop talking about playing on these type of 'nastyman' terms if we want to win). We should welcome home our team with a bit of pride and always remember that in whatever tournament the England team plays it represents the very tradition of football itself - impeccable sportsmanship. Besides that, FIFA is mired with corruption and the trophy, for me anyway, has tarnished somewhat over the last decade. They can keep their cup if they expect us to pay, duck, dive or bite our way to victory, can't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd love to be able to agree with you, PaternosterRow, but our national side isn't entirely free from the less savoury aspects of international competition. I'd say that generally we play to a higher standard than most teams, but we had any number of attempts to win cheap penalties - a couple of times when the player gave up a potential scoring opportunity by going over too easily.
