Disco Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Each team at work has been allocated their own World Cup team. Then we all have to decorate our work area to the theme of that team. We've only been given Nigeria. I'm thinking coming into work dressed as Minister Babatunde.

Kaizero Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 For the first time in my lifetime I may be inclined to agree with the moans about the ball being shit after seeing it used in a few matches, it looks well unnatural. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens every time there's a tournament, because it's not the ball any of the players have used all season. Usually then never get mentioned once the tournament has started.

Aye, I mentioned that saying I'd for the first time in my lifetime being inclined to agree with the moans. I'm just saying this time, the ball actually look like it's acting up, which to me seems like they for once have something to actually moan about.

Cronky Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Dawson probably won't play, but he should. Much better than King and Upson. Better than King? Are you on drugs? When he's fit King is arguably England's best centre half bar none Upson is dogshit though. Agree there. King didn't look too confident against Mexico, either before or after the game. He's under a lot more pressure now. Personally, I'd move Carragher to the CB position now. I've got more faith in him than the alternatives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend actually has the ball, haven't kicked it around yet because we're too afraid to put something so sacred on such dirty ground. Whenever we do get around to it I'm interested to see how it moves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's dodgy or not, I don't agree with introducing an unfamiliar ball just before the start of the game's biggest tournament. Commercially it may make sense, but I don't think it's fair on the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 If needs be it's got to be: a fit King > Dawson > an unfit King > Carragher > Upson. which is canny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I had a few touches with it and I found it way too light, in line with the "supermarket ball" comments, but it will probably also affect outfield players and not only goalies. I prefer balls with some weight to them, it helps directing and powering your shots. Still, everybody plays with the same ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Is the new ball 'the roundest ball ever manufactured' as is always the case? Eventually, they'll make the ball so perfectly spherical it just won't stop once you get it in motion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Each team at work has been allocated their own World Cup team. Then we all have to decorate our work area to the theme of that team. We've only been given Nigeria. I'm thinking coming into work dressed as Minister Babatunde. We did that at my work a few years ago - our team got Czech Republic so I made a massive banner saying 'CZECH CZECH CZECH... CZECH IT OUT!' a la Beastie Boys.
