The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
Inlander:
Hang on, was that the Macarena?
the_pied_piper:
The South Africans are playing much better technical football than I expected; great, crisp short passing; excellent movement and positioning and that goal was fully deserved on the way they've started the second half.
Darke:
Damn it Mexico why you gotta ruin a party?
Inlander:
GOAL MEXICO!! It's 1-1 now.
Incidentally I was, of course, being facetious when I said earlier that Mexico were coached by Polonius. Turns out their coach is actually - and this is honest-to-god true - a guy named Aguirre.
I've seen that movie and frankly I don't know if putting a guy named Aguirre in charge of your team is a good idea.
Inlander:
That's it! Game over. South Africa had a great chance in the 90th minute but hit the upright while the Mexican keeper was busy doing star-jumps.
Which reminds me of an intractable debate I once had the misfortune of overhearing, between two inebriated gentlemen in a pub in Surrey. The topic of discussion was whether a shot that hits the woodwork counts as "on target" or "off target". I never did find out the answer.
