Cup of Woes...

Its Football World Cup Time!! Or for some people, time to show they're 'in with the thang!' So whether they know the difference between a football and a footsie, 'my 2 cents shall be broadcasted'. Not that i'm some big football expert but still....

TOP 5 FOOTBALL WC GAFFES (and why they are wrong):

5) 'I love Brazil. I think they have the best defense.' - Some female celebrity in Bombay Times
(Correct me if i'm wrong but i think they're known more for their attack line. And teams like Italy and England must've felt very bad.)

4) 'Rio Ferdinand has the best striker's instinct I've ever seen' - Nephew who was co-incidentally a defender in school football team
(Yes, he's one of the better defenders in the world and yes he's scored quite a few goals but i think that's stretching it too far.)

3) 'India came damn close to qualifying this year.' - Relative trying to start a conversation
(Strange. God knows where he got that from. Anyways, i don't think we came close..... even by a mile)

2) 'Roy Keane and Robbie Keane will make sure Croatia win the World Cup' - cricket crazy school mate
(Both play for Ireland. And Ireland hasn't even qualified. Croatia ended up 3rd in 1998 and i think this year they aren't very strong contenders.)

BUT this one is the clincher. Even more so cos it happened on live TV and millions heard it.

1) 'England won by a single home run over Portugal thanks to His Royal Highness Daniel Beckingham' - American baseball commentator forced to present 'soccer' show.
(As everyone must've guessed, he's off the show now. And if you're still wondering why, its David Beckham. And he's not even related to the Queen. And its called a goal. And call it football, not soccer. Just like table tennis is table tennis, not ice hockey.)

Enjoy! And may the best team win!
