World cup! World cup! World cup! damn shit myself......

Well I went into work today jet lagged to fuck from my trip to the land of big cars, big bellies, big portions and big mentalists with big guns. All of a sudden someone mentions rugby and through my sleep-addled befuddlement I realise that tomorrow the world cup kicks off.

Low key is not the word. If this was the kiss ball billionaire rapist’s world cup it would be everywhere. All I’ve seen is a packet of McCoy’s with something on. ITV have surpassed even their usual shitness by showing off their coverage of the world cup by having it on ITV 4. Fucking ITV 4, they will probably stop the final half way to show an episode of Morse.

Why can they never get it right? Next time why don’t they give up altogether, not bother showing it and have Ant and Dec re-enact the game while Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell and Fergie off the Black eyed Pies give their verdict on the sock puppets performance. ITV were shit before and it seems that the only upside for them is that they are consistent.

Moan over! What the hell has this world cup got in store for us? It going to have competition. It has an All Blacks with a destiny. Aussies and saffers with ambition and France, England, Ireland and Wales that can cause upsets and make it to the final. It has minnows that want to be there and will make a difference, above all we have rugby. Is this Dan Carters chance to emulate Jonny or will Jonny do that himself. What about Cooper and Genia for teaming or will Phillips and Hook click. Will the Argentineans use their pack for domination but miss the mercurial talent of Hernandez.

I don’t bloody know do I but that is what this is all about. Tomorrow morning we will see what New Zealand have to offer when they play one of the teams that they nick lots of their players from, Tonga. Its going to be interesting to see how people will react to arriving in New Zealand and finding there are only 5 hotels in the whole of the country and Big Doug is using 2 of them.

Well I'm looking forward to this for some strange reason. Normally with a world cup I start following at the QF stage. Not this time though, holding it NZ with the PI teams looking to cause some damage in the group stages will have me hooked.

Come on what did you expect? If it wasn't on ITV4, chav housewives would have to learn to read in order to find out what their stars say.
