There's been a ****load of cards this year, I used to watch a lot of Premiership and there were like, 1 red card every 5-10 games, now nearly every game has at least 1 red card, often more.
England has been utterly hopeless this time round (they seem hopeless all the time, come to think of it). Nearly all the teams they've faced so far were minnows, but that won't happen anymore (Portugal + Brazil).
They don't show World Cup on TV here. Last time world cup came around cable tv subscribers got world cup broadcasts for free, now even if you have cable you don't get to watch the World Cup unless you buy a special World Cup cable package... ****ing price gougers. Right next door in Malaysia...
