The Team of Choice

Oh, it is just getting too exciting. Now that I've found my second (or maybe third - see previous post) team things are hotting up a treat. GHANA are the team of choice and what a team they are. They are clearly the coolest team in the tournament. According to the German commentator, they have the happiest bench in the World Cup and the supporters were dancing from the word go in their match against the Czech Republic. As if all this wasn't enough, they play with such style and finesse that it is impossible not to love them. And then, the icing on the cake... they have a player called PIMPONG. Pimpong is usually brought on 10 mins before the end to run a bit and mess up seemingly simple chances. He looks overweight but is surprisingly quick, although his ball control leaves a little to be desired. Still, his skill level is irrelevant. He is called Pimpong, he has a very cool hairdo and he provides endless amounts of amusement. And so, to everyone reading this, watch Ghana, support them and love every minute of Pimpong's time on the pitch. Those are my words of wisdom for today. Oh, and COME ON YOU AUSSIES:-)

After such enthusiasm, what else can I do - but support Ghana from henceforth....
Actually, they will probably do far better than the team I picked in the work sweep. I didn't even know that Iran had a football team...............

Hurray, another supporter for Ghana and Pimpong. You won't regret it, I promise! They are just so entertaining.
Unlucky getting Iran - I don't fancy their chances really. Still, miracles do happen.
As to upsetting Bloodaxe by cheering when England score multiple goals on Tuesday, I'd rather that than England play Germany in the next round and me getting pummelled by large amounts of angry Germans after they are defeated by the mighty England. Or, if things don't go to plan, getting taunted by smug Germans after they beat us, yet again, on penalties... Either way, the possibility of worsening relations with Erik seems like a fairly good option :-)

As Iran and Sweden are no longer in the running, Ghana have now become 'our' foreign team of choice! And all thanks to Lucy....! As long as Mr. Pingpong doesn't get carried away and do something to get himself sent off, we still have a hero. Apart from all the players who originated from Liverpool and Everton of course!

Woe! Woe! And thrice woe!
Poor old Mr Pimpong has gone.

Lu - hurry up and find someone else that we can support!

What else are you doing with yourself apart from watching footer?
Did you get anything fixed up for the rest of the summer?
Must dash - am at work. The buzzers and bedpans are calling me.....

Where has Lucy Lastic gone?
Are you busy working?
Or in a bar somewhere?
Come back and entertain us...
