or is it just me?

 

[worthit]

I'm with you.

 

[pete]

Good. I feel slightly less social outcast-ish.

 

[therealjohnny]

nah, no interest in it innit?

For the first time ever, there's an Irish international on the telly in my house (in another room), thanks to the kid deciding she's interested in football.

She's 4 so I'm not overly worried. Although I expected boredom to have set in by now.

Turned it on for a sec.

Whoever chose the Ireland team's socks (tight pattern of green & white stripes) forgot to take into account why it's a no-no to wear herringbone/striped clothing on TV, it causes strobing.

 

[pete]

Is it over yet?

 

[Diumraid]

Hello, what?

 

[pete]

Now trying to convince the kid that half time = game over.

If BLEEDIN only.

I am watching it, much to my own surprise. It's 3 - 1 to Croatia. Oh sorry.

I've just watched Rango with the kid. He, like me, knows nothing about football...

I like the socks and even commented on it somewhere else. They're like Celtic. Pro stripes. The jerseys, that's another story.

Good thing we realise sport is only a distraction from reality and this loss isn't really meaning anything at all, at all.

We watched the Blues Brothers instead.

 

[Unknown Convict]

[Scientician 0.8]

I sat in my brother's house instead. I fucking hate watching football. About as boring as golf.

Not watching. But might tomorrow in the hope that Greece will beat Germany. Few of us last night were talking about going down to the German Embassy with Greek Fkags and placards demanding war reparations. Then it got mental and we were thinking of putting a giant screen outside yhre kraut embassy and watching the match there. In the sober light of day, it won't happen.
