“Through Everyone’s Eyes”---
God Bless You-tube! Screw you, nut-less copyright fiends!
This is supposed to be a GLOBAL celebration of YOUR game! Starting in 2006,
we’ve had the privilege of tapping into the rest of the world’s perspective.
Back then, one could view every goal called in Chinese, Japanese, French,
Turkish, eight different versions of Spanish, and pretty much any language that
humans utter. This time around, looks as if FIFA is hell bent on destroying its
own sport. They’re one step ahead, particularly on youku, 163, and youtube L L
Nevertheless, one can enjoy a limited collection for a limited time. The fist
successful strike of a WM is an event that induces shouting in all the
languages of the Berlin metro. This year we had a real beauty. Gentlemen, I
give you Siphewe Tschablala:
In Russian
In German
From mother England
???? Hebrew Maybe ???
Directly from South Africa
Dutch
Spanish
Way to ruin the global game, FIFA. You non-audio highlights
SUCK!
Stream of
Consciousness—
Not a bad debut for the da boys. Our “Hot Chicks”
Competition had a spot of difficulty getting off the ground, which was to be
expected. Rather than focusing on a nation’s female ambassadors, camera-men
have a duty to convey the significance of the event, at least in the beginning.
Hence we were treated to a full 20 seconds of Joe Biden looking
overly-contemplative and Desmond Tutu doing what appeared to be the
hully-bully. All of that remains fairly sexy, but still. Was Biden wearing a
snuggie?
Looks like the
French are of to their typical sluggish start. So much talent, yet they never
seem to be able to get it in gear early. Perhaps they should consider working
more than 35 hours in a week….
Overall, some bad officiating, terrible coaching (Domenech),
and a serious dearth of goals has us football apologists working overtime. No
fear, footies, the beautiful game, the beautiful goals, and the beautiful girls
will be back!!
