The World Cup Soccer 2010 started 2 weeks ago. For now I only follow the Dutch team live. But indirectly I follow many other matches via Twitter. It is very entertaining, especially if things go awry, like the way the English were crushed by the Germans today (1:4). This was partly due to the referee who ruled out a legitimate goal by Frank Lampard when it was still 1 : 1.
Below are some of the tweets in my timeline. I especially like @precordialthump’s comparison of the English knock-out with apoptosis.
@Precordialthump opens with the best Faulty Tower fragment: “Don’t mention the War”. I can’t resist to show the fragment here.
And don’t miss the pic: “It wasn’t a goal” (via nutrigenomics)
mariawolters PHEW! #ger AND #gha are through! Go Ghana, go Africa! Now on to #ger / #eng. Mwahahaha …. #fb precordialthump Don’t mention the war… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0&feature=fvw Come on England! precordialthump Oh my god!!!! Come on England – 1966 in reverse!!! MaverickNY @SallyWalker exactly kind of gobsmacked. If they ditch all the bad refs there won’t be any left for the final tho mariawolters at least #eng will be spared the excruciating penalty shootout this time #brightside #schlaaaaand #fb Herring1967 I blame our 12th invisible player. Everyone keeps passing to him and then he fucks it up. TW_Adorno Your team qualified with ease under a Labour Govt and have struggled in every game under the Conservatives. How could this be? thestephmerritt Is this happening because they’ve cut the defence budget? #ididafootballjoke precordialthump The England team’s performance turned out to be the World Cup football equivalent of apoptosis… well done, Germany. MaverickNY @whydotpharma not sure which was worse: refereeing, #eng or american tv commentary. Probably the last one was most clueless. jdc325 Watched the England game with my Dad. My summary: what a shit waste of time. I could have gone for a walk or read a book. nutrigenomics Ha RT @biomatushiq: [pretty fast] ROFL RT @sotak: It wasn’t a goal!
