Fedyan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Here is how our local Bwin boys promote the World Cup. Personally despise the whole betting thing, but try not to judge those who choose to part take in this sort of congregated evil https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qLL54pV74VU The idea is you can then vote at Bwin.ru and decide who stole the Cup, in case it isn't obvious enough.

UncleBingo Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Absolute classic, still gives me chills. Best world cup in my memory anarl. 86 was decent too and 98 was good but the world cup will always be Italia 90 for me. It had loads of standout incidents and England really should have won it, but apparently it was the lowest scoring WC ever......and the final was an absolute shocker. Spain 82 for me personally.

Fedyan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 The Slaves of Saint Petersburg Well that's a horrifying read Viciously profit-driven capitalists with certain connections being viscioulsy profit-driven capitalists with certain connections shocker. I sincerely hope the uber-concerned authors believe in some God or at least Santa Claus, because they will make oh so many discoveries about life being unfair and sometimes, dare I say it, genuinely horrible. Could provide them with some fascinating tales about certain current residents of London, Monte Carlo, Nice, Paris, New York City and Miami who made their fortunes here over the last 25 years, but they sometimes don't like Putin, so must be good upstanding citizens with values that are appreciated and some even own famous sports teams. So proud of them. At least, they don't hire poor guys from North Korea. Couldn't be more sincere in wishing them all the best in their heart-driven attempts to tackle the many pressing issues. Yeah, I am being sarcastic. This whole "grave concern" and "sincere outrage" from the very same people who have Greenpeace stickers on their laptops, but have no idea how much water is needed to manufacture one and what conditions are the norm for those who actually produce the said device is really fascinating. But nothing new. This thing took almost ten years to build, became everyone's favourite monument to corruption and greed and an eternal source for all sorts of jokes about pretty much anything St Petersburg. How shocking indeed. Never happened before anywhere else, obviously never will happen again anywhere else. On to things that are a bit more optimistic: - Argentina brought 2 tons of food supplies with them, probably confusing us with Brazil or Uruguay Their president is going to pay a visit if they make the final. Gloryhunter, obviously. - Danny Rose went full Sol Campbell/Theo Walcott mode and told his dad not to bother coming over. We are all hateful racists here, as is well-documented, bananas are only sold to anyone over the age of 6 if you can then factually prove that you will proceed to throw a certain percentage of them in the direction of anyone with a different skin tone. Making monkey noises in process, obviously. Kinda like why nobody is legally allowed to own a horse in Newcastle. Everybody will punch it, wearing a Shearer shirt with a greasy spot on it, so there. Judging by Rose's presumed logic - all modern pro footballers are basically thick, arrogant, partying, escort-loving show-offs with a mental capacity of a spoilt 16 y.o. kid and all the loyalty of a brothel employee. For some bizarre reason, I don't think that's the case, but good old Danny knows better, so whatever rings his tune. - Enormously fun things going on in our club football, what with three second-tier clubs going under in a span of two weeks and everyone either going ape-sh!t mental with anger or acting like Larry David. Promise to post a joke-filled post on it next week, some of the characters involved make Max Cellini or Kenny Bates look like competent people - bought myself three Colombia shirts (one with a 10 at the back, an Italia90 retro kit) and an Argentina78 long sleeve kit. Along with two Colombia tracksuit tops and a hat. What can I say, Adidas are mental with their pricing. But they sure know how to ecstort cash from hopelessly romantic football fans like me. The buggers Wanted to buy a retro USSR Euro88 one as well (will always hate Netherlands in football after that final ), it had USSR written in Latin, so I politely suggested them cocaine sniffers (AKA designers) to actually watch the game and spot the difference. Turns out, I was one of about a dozen customers that day who made the same complaint, just with more polite metaphors. - Sochi mayor announced that every matchday in their city will be a holiday, prompting a few genuinely loud laughter inducing jokes about them being a resort city and everyone doing nothing there anyhow. Fun pub quiz question - Sochi is the only current World Cup host city located in a subtropical climate zone. You are welcome. - Some BBC dudes tweeted something about suspecting that they are being spied upon. Of course. Eagerly anticipate something about a gorgeous blonde (with very sad eyes, obviously) in red dress plotting something. Allegedly. - I now have a small army of Panini Ronaldos. And so does pretty much everyone else I know who tries to get the thing completed. Unfair. - A friend of mine who works at a hotel and will attend one of the macthes featuring Iran actually managed to meet the father of their star striker Serdar Azmoun. Those Iranians, bringing their forrin families with them, the cheek they have - Our fantastic head coach went full Fergie on a few journalists for daring to ask a few questions about his (admittedly, more than debatable) final selection. And then just started to ignore anyone from the media. Things went so bad, our Madrid-born left winger Denis Cheryshev actually refused to talk to the local media after a friendly (but did talk to the Spanish media). Some scenes and plenty of outrage on social media after that, even though I do tend to agree with Mourinho's infamous definition of a sports journalist, I can perfectly understand why some many hacks and fans got upset. Absolutely magnificent, the geniuses at the Federation couldn't even ask the stubborn coont to at least pretend that he can be anything than a brash and arrogant this and that when somebody asks a daring question. A World Cup. At home. Why act like that. What a tool - judging by a few messages I received from a friend who is in St Petesburg at the moment, the millions of bars/clubs/restaraunts on the famous Rubinstein Street are at the ready Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
