Six Pack - 16th June

Well I lost my £3 bet. I had England to win 3-0 against Trinidad & Tobago, and last night they won 2-0. A shame, but well done to Bart who last week bet that Victoria Beckham would be the first English Celebrity wife to be shown on the World Cup telecast - it paid £60 (I swear you can bet on anything in this country).

The game wasn't that great, England still aren't reaching their full potential. There was quite a few wasted cracks at goal that went wide, and one kick Peter Crouch had missed by at least seven kilometres. Crouch is six foot seven, and I swear the most gangly looking fucker to ever grace the soccer field. He is better off using his height to head the ball, which he did to score their first goal. Steven Gerrard scored their second. This game also saw the return of Wayne Rooney. A star in the Euro Cup, Rooney had spent the last eight weeks recovering from a broken meta-dorsal-fin (or something like that)Though he didn't do much in the game, his presence was a huge confidence booster for the team.

Rooney doesn't exactly have Beckham's move star looks. In fact, Rooney is too ugly to appear on radio. But he's a skilled Striker, and one of the toughest players out there. I know, I know - saying you're the toughest Soccer Player is like saying you're the smartest Hilton sister. But if this fucker takes a dive, you know he's just broken a bone. He also likes to screw 48 year old hookers, but Christ if that was a sin then we'd all go to Hell.

Here's the updated ladder:

In other football news, Mac brought this Ecuadorian player to my attention:

Ivan Kaviedes

To quote Mac:

"Apparently he keeps a Mexican wrestling mask in his sock and when he scores a goal pulls it out."

To reiterate: he keeps a Mexican Wrestling mask in his sock. That makes me proud to be a human being. The Ecuador team is looking good, one to keep an eye on in this Cup.

Chuck had nothing to add on the football, but made me aware of this deeply concerning piece of information:

Alarming.
