If I hear commentators refer to non-white countries as bringing a lot of colour to the World Cup, I will throw my iced tea at the telly.

[Deleted User]

In Germany, they refer to funky teams also of non-white countries with no real chances as "exoten", or "exotics", also brings controversy there...

[Deleted User]

I can believe it moo...aside from the obviously racist connotatations, it is also patronising and just plain lazy journalism.



God the French have a terrific anthem....

[Deleted User]

not the most integrated of societies tho is it ?



talking of colour - whenever i see R**ney i think of the Pilsbury Dough Boy - sort of pallid and pastey like uncooked pastry

[Deleted User]

you're right!


he also looks like my mate Sooty.

[Deleted User]

The commontaters are so racist in what they say it's hard to believe sometimes.

[Deleted User]

i love the fun, exhuberance and bright colours that supporters from the Americas, Africa and some parts of Europe bring to the World Cup - we can be so dull in comparison


(not meant in a patronising or racist way!)

there is something much more attractive about Samba than Three Lions !

[Deleted User]

In 98 a very lovely Brazilian lady taught me how to samba on the streets of Paris...


*sigh*

The German commentators aren't quite as bad, plus the commentary is a bit more interesting because they throw in little bits of trivia, and seem to be much more clued up on the lives of the players as individuals, I think they prepare a bit more.

[Deleted User]

they just seem to want to talk about *ngland all the time here - at half time in the matches they start prattling on about them instead of focussing on the match they are commentating on


it isnt about US*/Them*!!!

[Deleted User]

I think the best sports commentators tend to be in sports where it is less frantic.

So Peter Alliss in golf, Richie Benaud in cricket. They have time to be a bit more decriptive and poetic.

In football they just get too excited and say daft things.

Although, with rugby, that was fun with Bill McLaren..

"Oh he's like a demented giraffe when he gets going."

<<tunes telly to German station>>

[Deleted User]

Europsort is good - as they tend to broadcast to ALL of Europe so report on all the stories - not just Pilsbury's foot

[Deleted User]

I don't get it at the moment, sadly, because I switched to Freeview but don't subscribe to the extra thingy yet.

[Deleted User]

Fransh not particularly impresshive thush far.

[Deleted User]

they dont seem to be showing the matches tho -which is unusual for them

wouldnt mind being in Geramnia at the moment

or Italy, France, Spain , Portugual or anywhere on the "Continent " wheres its warm and sunny and there's an interst in the games

[Deleted User]

tis a bit of a let down so far

[Deleted User]

My sentiments precisely. Think I'll take a time-out from here for a wee while!

[Deleted User]

I'll be there more the 1/4 & semi finals! Not to spectate live, alas (
Later!

[Deleted User]

I'll be watching the Brazil game tonight from sunny...erm work

[Deleted User]

"Dude - France my dark horses to take the cup."
