talisker 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 As you know, the cockerel is the emblem of the french. The are in fact represented by cocks...I was hoping that uruguay would dump them out of the wc but after horribly inconsistent refereeing and blatant simulation by dario Silva I found myself willing the auld alliance onwards....looks like they are out tho Link to post Share on other sites
OzOzOz 2 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I didn't know that. But the man holding the bird himself was a cock if you ask me. I couldn't believe he took pleasure in treating the poor animal like that. Cock indeed. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to finish work early today, skive off to see the match, it should be an interesting one. England tomorrow - come on boys. It's about time Owen gets his first goal of the tourny.

mogski 0 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Thought I would share this little piece I got from a friend of mine working at the post game player interviews at the Kashima games. It kind'a brings a new enjoyment to the world cup. ------------------------------------------ :Best smelling cologne - Veron (Arg) :Grubbiest toenails - Veron :Best sunnies worn during interview - Batistuta (Arg) :Only player to wear sunnies during interview - Batistuta :Most pieces of fruit held during interview - Niall Quinn (Ire) - 3 (banana, orange and apple) :Surprisingly short player - Del Piero (Italy)...I think he was even shorter than me. :Worst haircut - Christian Ziege (Germany) :Happy and jovial even though his team lost - Jay Jay Okocha (Nigeria) :Twangiest Aussie accent - tie between Christian Vieri (Italy) and Josip Simunic (Croatia)...both spent over 10 years there apparently :Niggliest reply to request for answer in Engligh - Veron ("Sorry, I do not speak English"...said in perfectly sounding English) :Sounds too nice to be a Millwall player - Steve Reid (Ire) - (this one is for you, Cath) :Hottest reporter - some Italian lady who used her assets to grab the attention of the players (and the note-takers) as they walked past. :Babyface - Matt Holland (Ire) :Loudest banged knee on wall between players and reporters - some grumpy German guy (even grumpier after hitting his knee) :Happiest person in the stadium - ME.
