Music fades
Welcome to my World. Of. Football. Like the major TV networks I have adopted a theme tune for my World Cup football coverage: I hope you like it. I know that some people doubted whether an oompah version of A Beautiful Day (Thigh Slapping Remix) would work, but I think you'll agree it's a significant improvement on the original. Is thigh slapping and Oopmah German? Or am I thinking of Austria?
(Aside. DK - Did I dream it, or did you say that Kasabian are covering Heroes for ITV? Ye Gods.)
Anywho, to the job in hand. Obviously apart from the Rooney/Walcott stories, everyone is asking: Is the meaty footballs on the Pizza Hut Football Supreme the most crass attempt to crowbar a reference to the soccerball tournament into a product advert? Well it's a good question, and I would say, "So far, yes. Yes it is."
I mean, they're frickin' meatballs. Their only relation to football is that they're round. And even then they're a gristly, lumpy kind of round. If truth be told, their closest relationship to the synthetic leather of the World cup ball is that they both have the same nutritional value.
But the tourney has not yet begun, so hold on there young mule. Do not yet decree Pizza Hut (if it is them - their name escapes me) as the worst offender. You can be sure that others will come and try their best. And Syi2 will be there for each and every one.
On a similar note, can someone please tell me why oh why oh why I am going to find myself in the Welsh hills for the first weekend of the World Cup? How in all that is good and wholesome did I end up arranging that? What, quite frankly, was I thinking?
If you do know, please tell me, cos I sure as hell don't.
