Germany vs England: The misappliance of science
Remember when we were beaten by Germany at the World Cup? Yeah, you do, we got spanked like naughty children. There was something about it in the papers the day after, I think.
Anyway, apparently, ze Germans are claiming that they didn’t beat us just by being better than us – they won with science. According [...]

Germany terrorised by swarms of radioactive boar
Do not adjust your set, that headline is not a joke. It may sound like the premise for a particularly insipid Arts Council movie, but it’s true: hundreds of thousands of crazed, glowing, mutant boars are at large in Germany’s forests.
They’ve always had a problem with sounders of boar terrorising their countryside, and the mild [...]

“Unexpected”: A World Cup Final poem for Holland
“Unexpected”: A World Cup Final poem for Holland (as featured on Dutch radio station Radio Netherlands:
You always know what you’re going to get, watching Holland.
You’re going to get:
Orange.
Johann Cruyff in the crowd looking Very Solemn.

World Cup: Six More Days of Mark Lawrenson
Onto the semi finals. The great thing about England being knocked out, and none of the other Home Nations qualifying, is that the World Cup is now about football. The filter of national involvement is removed and the football matches can be packaged as football matches. For English supporters, admittedly, every game since their elimination [...]

World Cup: The Moment Africa was silenced…

Who will be the last four standing?
I spent the last couple of days in a small town in the Eastern Cape called Grahamstown, and I was wondering how to fill my days with no football games being played.

If World Cup teams were bands, who would they be?
If World Cup teams were bands, who would they be?
There are several inescapable parallels to be drawn between the worlds of football and music. Both of them feature artists who stride the stage imperiously for a time, yet whose successes are all too fleeting; both of them feature the same gallery of keen rivalries and preening frontmen. [...]
