So Germany is now an state of the US! American intelligence 70129[/snapback] tbh 70360[/snapback] I was gonna give him the whoosh but wanted to be sure - what with you yanks being a bit thick and that. I couldn't be certain you didn't think that they were both Americans. 70362[/snapback] Sad to say I'm still laughing about this. Must be the early hour.

For those that know it: Copywrite 1965 by Tom Lehrer.

Oxymoron, tbh. 70061[/snapback] Just like American Intelligence ? 70123[/snapback] Hey, who does Britain have that can compare to such American luminaries as von Braun and Einstein????

<--- Hence the Christmas Avatar I've had for about a week now.

Oxymoron, tbh.

Pretty typical tackle of the Jamaican, Panamanian, Guatamalan, El Salvadoran and Honduran world cup qualifiers over here, tbh. Don't see why there's such a fuss.

doesn't he celebrate practically every goal like that?

Bet Wor Al wishes he had hair like that these days.

SG is right. That one needs no caption. What about this one?

I'm not too disappointed with Italy, the Czechs and Ghana. It was always going to be difficult to get out of our group and it could have been a lot worse.

Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake. A good read, certainly better than the majority of the later short stories in her other book Interpreter of Maladies. There's so much good South Asian literature these days. Next project though is Green and Gray by Timothy Zahn.

That said, Mexico are shit.

Might have to do with the fact that Holland failed to make it to the last world cup.... And the Czechs failed to make 98 or 2002

No.

Yeah, thanks for that, I needed it. 63293[/snapback] 25 posts. A new record?

Turning out to be a nice day today. It's above zero, about 1 degree C above actually. It was a nice bike in to work this morning.

A bit of a guess but was it George Weah? 58800[/snapback] Only a couple of years out 95 for Weah. I would never of guessed the answer! 58808[/snapback] You were suprised it was the 1990 World Cup winning captain, Lothar Matthaus? 58813[/snapback] Yes I was. Italy 1990 was remembered for many things and although Germany won it, Roger Milla and a host of other individuals were far more memorable, don't you think? 58815[/snapback] Well to be fair, Schillachi won the golden ball at that world cup (Matthaus was 2nd) and the voting was such: 1. Lothar MATTHÄUS (Germany) 128 pts 2. Jean-Pierre PAPIN (France) 113 3. Gary LINEKER (England) 40 4. Robert PROSINECKI (Yugoslavia & Croatia) 38 5. Marco VAN BASTEN (Netherlands) 23 6. Franco BARESI (Italy) 12 7. Iván ZAMORANO (Chile) 10 8. Andreas BREHME (Germany) 9 9. Gianluca VIALLI (Italy) 8 10. Enzo SCIFO (Belgium) 7 Oh, and he was good for Inter that year too, coming in 2nd in Serie A
