Grimbeard Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Post World Cup stuff not worth it's own thread here. Two things to start us off. 1. The Union Flag above the entrance to England's hotel in Rio is upside down, surely someone out there should have noticed and got it put right. 2. During the Ivory Coast v Japan game the ITV commentator insisted on calling the African team 'Cote d' Ivoire' (except when he forgot). Turns out this was because of a FIFA 'instruction'. So, how come FIFA haven't forced TV companies to refer to 'Nippon' 'Italia' or 'Deutschland' etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Some Japanese fans stayed behind after the game to clean there part of the stadium "BqM06S4IYAAg6MW" alt="BqM06S4IYAAg6MW"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Clarke Carlisle kept saying Jackson Martinez can't be that good because he can't even get in the Ecuador team... Yeh Robbie Keane can't get in the Welsh team either... Also, anyone seen the 'Nip Slips' - South American women eh (open at your own discression!) https://twitter.com/WorIdCupTweets/status/478320486540001280/photo/1 http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/a-brazilian-fan-who-fell-out-of-her-tiny-top-becomes-an-online-viral-star-nsfw-pictures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, should not be upside down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Really? Ha! Did anyone pull him up on it? I think I saw that The Mirror wrote an article about it - was an awful mistake to make. Though I've done something similar by mistake, writing Antonio Valencia's nationality as Colombia rather than Ecuador. But not to the length of Clarke Carlisle's rants, was pretty funny and alarming for someone covering a high-profile World Cup match to get it so wrong.

I moaned about Glen Johnson's performance when it was Kyle Walker once. Still, we all might pay a bit more attention if we were covering the World Cup for a major tv company.

Grimbeard Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Watching Spain v Chile earlier. With about 10 mins to go, the camera pans across the Spanish fans, as you'd expect they're looking a bit glum. 2 down, going home early, naturally they're fed up. But wait! Look! We're on the big screen!! My God! we're on the telly!!! Yay!! Whoo!!! tw@ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
