Politics and the World cup

Election review - Well thank god that is all over and for those who always wanted to see the back of Gordon Brown(and more) see the clip below from one of my favourites Alison Jackson



Mind you it did leave us with these 2 who seem to be getting on famously:-



But enough of that for 5 years.

World Cup time - Just days now from the start of the world cup. Already I am sick of the analysis, previews, reviews, old video and boring old players wheeled out. They kill it before the event starts leading to an inevitable anti-climax. So for the football fans here are 10 interesting facts-

* Most appearances: Brazil – all 18
* Most wins: Brazil – 5
* Most winners-up: Germany – 4
* Most final appearances: Brazil and Germany - 7 each
* Most winners' medals: PelĂ© Brazil – 3
* Most goals scored: Ronaldo (Brazil 1998 – 2006) 15
* Most goals in a tournament: Just Fontaine 13 (France, 1958)
* Most goals in a match: Oleg Slanko (Russia vs Cameroon, 1994) - 5
* Most wins as a coach: Vittorio Pozzo (Italy 1934 and 1938) – 2
* Highest attended match 199 854 Uruguay vs Brazil, 16 July 1950 Maracana Stadium.

You may notice England gets no mention in there at all.

Fattest world cup footballer - According to the Sun this was Brazilian Ronaldo although Thomas Brolin pushed him all the way.

Sex during the world cup(players) -
Argentina version - "The players can have sex with their wives and girlfriends during the World Cup. Players are not Martians. But it should not be at 2 a.m. with champagne and Havana cigars.”
—Dr. Donato Vallani, Argentina’s team doctor, The Associated Press, May 27, 2010"

English version - The players can have sex with their own or team mate's wives and girlfriends during the World Cup. Players are only human. But it should not be at 2 a.m. with lager and drugs bought from my dad.”
—John Terry The Daily Sport April 1st, 2010"

Sex during the world cup(viewers) - yeah right!



Sexiest Football fans - Brazil take some beating but in my research which was a tough job I admit I came across a site which said Liverpool fans! Somebody needs to get out more and go back and see it asked "sexiest" not "ugliest."
