whats the world cup?

better than a Sox World Series :laughing:

Saw this thing where they comapared each team to something.Thought it was worth sharing.......

Germany are a bit like ......
Keith Richards - They once rocked the world but are now knackered & falling to bits

Poland are a bit like ......
The Liberal Democrats - Very dull , desperate to be in the big time, but sadly never going to mount a serious challenge

Ecuador are a bit like ......
Nicola from Girls Aloud - Delighted to be making up the numbers. Yet may just do enough to build up a cult following.

Costa Rica are a bit like ......
Starbucks - They`ve got a bit of a daft name and they`re great for coffee but thats about it.

England are a bit like ......
Your missus' period - Regular as clockwork at frustrating you. Also involve blood & shouting.

Sweden are a bit like ......
The cast of Hollyoaks - You`d struggle to name two , but you know they`re blonde and potentially heartbreaking.

Paraguay are a bit like ......
Jodie Marsh - Two outstanding features upfront , but a bit shaky in other departments.

Trinidad & Tobago are a bit like ......
Scotland - A handful of England based journeymen and a fantastic travelling support may make them popular but can`t disguise the mediocrity on the pitch.

Argentina are a bit like ......
Ruth Badger from The Apprentice - They deserve success , but it`s still hilarious to watch them cry when they lose.

Holland are a bit like ......
Jaffa Cakes - Orangy things that crumble badly under the slightest pressure.

Serbia & Montenegro are a bit like ......
World Snooker Champion Graeme Dott - Scratchy , short of creativity and don`t deserve the respect they deserve, But a solid defence that might just spring a surprise.

Ivory Coast are a bit like ......
Ricky Hatton - Rock hard and blessed with surprisingly good technique.But can they cope against the worlds best?

Portugal are a bit like ......
Apollo Creed - Despite all the talent & talking a great fight beforehand , they usually end up utterly humiliated.

Mexico are a bit like ......
Jenson Button - They qualify well , start even better and then blow up halfway through.

Iran are a bit like ......
Sunderland - Thown in with the big boys , they take a regular pasting yet keep coming back for more.

Angola are a bit like ......
Paul Danan - Basically just asking for someone to give them a thorough beating.

Italy are a bit like ......
Oasis - They keep coming back with a swagger and new members , but you know in your heart of hearts they`re not as good as they once were.

Czech Repuplic are a bit like ......
Super Furry Animals - Despite perfoming well at major festivals nobody is really that bothered about them :(

USA are a bit like ......
Chelsea - No matter how much you dislike them they`re good now & are not going to go away.

Ghana are a bit like ......
Eastenders - A rather laboured line up built around the efforts of two central hardmen.

Brazil are a bit like ......
Bob Dylan - They crashed badly in 1966 and have an infamous reputation for ill advised haircuts.

Croatia are a bit like ......
A 1988 Brown Volvo Estate - Thoroughly dull , bulky at the back, depressingly functional and about as attractive to watch as your grandmother on the toilet.

Austrailia are a bit like ......
James Blunt - No matter how much you want them to fail , you have a horrible feeling they`ll do well.

Japan are a bit like ......
Keith Chegwin - Incredibly enthusiastic , despite a history of setbacks. You know they`ll make the most of whatever situation they find themselves in.

France are a bit like ......
The Scissor Sisters - Behind the mincing & prancing there is a hell of a lot of talent.

Switzerland are a bit like ......
A Fake Rolex - It may say it`s swiss and it may look like it`s swiss but in reality it`s not.

South Korea are a bit like ......
The La's - One great hit may become a curse as they try to live up to in in vain.

Togo are a bit like ......
Eddie The Eagle Edwards - Set to become a national sporting embarrassment of the highest level

Spain are a bit like ......
Liverpool - They`re Spanish and they`re probably never going to win the one trophy they really want.

Ukraine are a bit like ......
The Great Britain's Women's Curling Team - Dour , pasty and everybody's only heard of one player.

Tunisia are a bit like ......
Bolton Wanderers - A squad of vaguely familiar players with a habit of scoring most of their goals from dead ball situations.
