Chinglish

2006-10-15T15:00:00.000-07:00

Beijing stamps out poor English

"Emergency exits at Beijing airport read No entry on peacetime, and the Ethnic Minorities Park is named Racist Park."

"Occasionally, a sign makes sense"

Unfortunately, one of China's biggest attractions, the Chinglish signs, are in the verge of being lost forever, or at least in and around Beijing, in the near future. As a proud tourist to have, read and seen, some of these remarkable signs, I would like to protest against the government's decision. Where will I be able to see the wonderful signs? Where will I be able to photograph strange and funny signs? Where will I be able to lost, in front of a sign, wondering what the hell am I supposed to do, or what the hell does it mean?

On the other hand, it's a great day for every English speaking (reading) person in China. Changing millions of signs must be hard. And they will have to build millions of signs. Millions! Just imagine, millions of translations to be done. So, they will also need someone that does understand what is being written or stamped, on the signs. Ahh... I can imagine myself, sitting in my office, with a view to the Great Wall of China, and just reading and correcting sentences. So, why not?

Israel's secret war: the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Palestine
By Anne Penketh in Gaza City
Published: 29 July 2006

A 12-year-old boy dead on a stretcher. A mother in shock and disbelief after her son was shot dead for standing on their roof. A phone rings and a voice in broken Arabic orders residents to abandon their home on pain of death.

Those are snapshots of a day in Gaza where Israel is waging a hidden war, as the world looks the other way, focusing on Lebanon.

It is a war of containment and control that has turned the besieged Strip into a prison with no way in or out, and no protection from an fearsome battery of drones, precision missiles, tank shells and artillery rounds.

As of last night, 29 people had been killed in the most concentrated 48 hours of violence since an Israeli soldier was abducted by Palestinian militants just more than a month ago.

The operation is codenamed "Samson's Pillars", a collective punishment of the 1.4 million Gazans, subjecting them to a Lebanese-style offensive that has targeted the civilian infrastructure by destroying water mains, the main power station and bridges.

The similarities with Israel's blitz on Lebanon are striking, raising suspicions that the Gaza offensive has been the testing ground for the military strategy now unfolding on the second front in the north.

In Gaza, following the victory of the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas in January, Israel, with the help of the US, initiated an immediate boycott and ensured the rest of the world fell into line after months of hand-wringing. Israel has secured the same flashing green light from the Bush administration over Lebanon, while the rest of the world appeals in vain for an immediate ceasefire.

The Israelis, who launched their Lebanon offensive on 12 July after the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hizbollah fighters, intend to create a "sterile" zone devoid of militants in a mile-wide stretch inside Lebanon.

In Gaza, Palestinian land has already been bulldozed to form a 300-metre open area along the border with Israel proper. And in both cases, the crisis will doubtless end up being defused by a prisoner exchange. With Lebanon dominating the headlines, Israel has "rearranged the occupation" in Gaza, in the words of the Palestinian academic and MP, Hanan Ashrawi. But unlike the Lebanese, the desperate Gazans have nowhere to flee from their humanitarian crisis.

Before Israeli tanks moved into northern Gaza, yesterday, 12-year-old Anas Zumlut joined the ranks of dead Palestinians, numbering more than 100. His body was wrapped in a funeral shroud, just like those of the two sisters, a three-year-old and an eight-month-old baby, who were killed three days ago in the same area of Jablaya.

In the past three weeks, the foreign ministry and the interior ministry in Gaza city have been smashed, prompting speculation that Israel's offensive is not only aimed at securing the release of Cpl Gilad Shalit, or bringing an end to the Qassam rocket attacks that have wounded one person in the past month and jarred the nerves of the residents of the nearest Israeli town of Sderot.

"At first we thought they were bombing the Hamas leaders by targeting Haniyeh and Zahar," a Palestinian official said, referring to the Palestinian Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister. "But when they targeted the economy ministry we decided they wanted to completely destroy the entire government."

The only functioning crossing, Erez, is closed to Palestinians who are almost hermetically sealed inside the Strip. As the local economy has been strangled by donor countries, Gaza City's 1,800 municipal employees have not been paid since the beginning of April. Families are borrowing to the hilt, selling their jewellery, ignoring electricity bills and tax demands and throwing themselves on the mercy of shopkeepers.

Western officials say they hope the pressure will coerce Hamas into recognising Israel but the Palestinians believe the real goal is the collapse of the Hamas government - six of whose cabinet members have been arrested, the rest are in hiding.

The signs on the ground are that Israel's military pressure is proving counter-productive. There is the risk of a total breakdown of the fabric of society at a time when the main political parties, Fatah and Hamas, are at each other's throats. "The popularity of Hamas is increasing," says the Palestinian deputy foreign minister, Ahmed Soboh, from the comparative safety of his West Bank office in Ramallah.

The situation has become unbearable for Gazans, says Nabil Shaath, a veteran Fatah official who is a former foreign and planning minister. Through the window, small fishing boats are anchored uselessly in the harbour, penned in by Israeli sea patrols.

All mechanisms for coping are being exhausted.

Mr Shaath, who had a daughter, Mimi, late in life, says that he tried "laughter therapy" with his five-year-old at home in northern Gaza. "Every time there was a shell, I would burst out laughing and she would laugh with me. But then the Israelis occupied everything around us, and there were tanks, and shrapnel in the garden, and she saw where the shells were coming from, and she was terrified. So Mimi now gets angry when I laugh."

Only a few miles away, on the other side of the border, the Israeli army says it is taking pains to minimise civilian casualties. Hila, a 21-year old paratrooper who is not allowed to give her last name, says the Hamas fighters in Gaza - like Hizbollah in Lebanon - deliberately mingle with the civilian population as a tactic. Weapons are stored in the upper storeys of houses where families live downstairs, she says. "The terrorists deliberately choose places where we can't retaliate."

But these places are being hit. And Mr Shaath is scornful of the disproportionate Israeli reaction to the Palestinian rockets. Five Israelis have been killed by the 10km range Qassams since 2000.

Mrs Ashrawi believes Samson's Pillars are no closer to falling. "Israelis think they are searing the consciousness of the Palestinians and the Lebanese with a branding iron. But if people have a cause they will never be defeated."

The Real Comedy

2006-07-29T08:05:00.000-07:00

The Comedy. The Real Life Comedy. The Real deal. Only available thanks to the American people, who kindly elected Mr. George W. Bush as their president, for a second term. Thanks to most Americans I was able to spend a quite amusing night, watching some "The Daily Show" clips and reading quotations from Bush's administration.

As expected, the biggest contributor was Mr. George Bush, with special participations from Mr. Rumsfeld and Ms. Condolezza Rice. This triplet are both, the most stupid and the most comic, thing in the world. I have no idea, whether I should laugh at their stupidity, or if I should cry at the world's faith in their hands... How can it be true? I have no idea. But something must be wrong in the States. The famous American patriots are dumb as shit! And no, I don't intend to insult them. They should already be insulted by the government they elected, but that's their decision. I must really thank them for the amusing evening they presented me. Below are some of The Daily Show clips that I found:

Youtube Clips

Quotations

Some of this clips are even sad. Sad to know that a country like America is wondering in time, at the rails of someone like that. How is it possible that someone as dumb as that controls the "biggest" nation in the World? No wonder the US is what it is. Sad, but so what? It's not my country. So I just have to laugh at it, and say, "I'm lucky not to be there" or "God bless America". Now I know why Bush says that quite often. Even he doesn't know where or what the hell is he getting into. The country is completely lost. Bush has no idea what to do next, so he begs God for blessing and guidance... Stupid!

For more information just lurk around youtube.com and search for Bushisms, The Daily Show, Rumsfeld, Bush, etc...

The Oil Price

2006-07-27T10:03:00.001-07:00

Exxon posts fresh bumper profits

"Helped by ongoing high oil prices, it earned $10.4bn (£5.6bn) in the second quarter of 2006 - a 36% increase on the same period last year."

"Critics argue that it is unfair for the oil firms to pass on the high price of crude oil to motorists at the same time as pocketing record earnings, leading to calls for the introduction of windfall taxes."

While everyone around the world is suffering the consequences, of the daily raises, on crude prices, the oil companies, all around the world, specially in America, are making huge profits... At what cost?

I would like to thank, US Government, for bringing huge profits to Oil Enterprises (obvious loyal allies to the US' foreign policy) and for the neverending war on terror. Please takeover the Middle East, and all oil fields around the world. Maybe then, the world will be safer...

The US hasn't stepped down, on it's eternal plea to set up a "democratic" and "free" world, run by multi-millionaire businessman wondering how to enrich themselves, even more... In it's latest effort, President George Bush, has approved a $80m fund to "help" Cuba's transition from a repressive government to a free and democratic one. US once again, shows the rest of the World, that either you live as an American free-person, or you're against them.

An interesting comment, goes at the end of this report, saying that "since the fall of the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Cuba has been a one-party state led by Mr Castro."

God bless those who are against America's unilateral war on terror.

"The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world"

"Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity."

"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."

"There is no limit to the greatness of America!"

"Redefining the role of the United States from enablers to keep the peace to enablers to keep the peace from peacekeepers is going to be an assignment."

The World?! And those who do not backup this offensive, does that make them terrorists too? Does Bush's "either with us or against us" threat apply here? The US an UK are to be blamed for the rest of the World... Fuck that!

Nine Israelis killed in Lebanon

Was this an operation to save the 2 kidnapped soldiers? Others have said that it was to fight the hundreds of rockets that "striked" northern Israel on a daily basis, which, is simply not as true as they say... Still, how many more should die, until Israel halts it's deadly "rescue" operation?

Who cares about the civilian and children? At least, they killed militants... That's what it was for.

Israeli bomb kills UN observers

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was "shocked" at the "apparently deliberate targeting" of the post.

It said the four, from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, had taken shelter in a bunker under the post after it was earlier shelled 14 times by Israeli artillery.

A rescue team was also shelled as it tried to clear the rubble.

What else can I say...?

You only see what you want to see. And yes, I want to see Israel getting blammed for what is happening in the Middle East.

UN appalled by Beirut devastation
The UN's Jan Egeland has condemned the devastation caused by Israeli air strikes in Beirut, saying it is a violation of humanitarian law.
I can't believe this. I wish this was just an illusion. Just an illusion of the World we live in. And you wish I would stop writing about war. But that is just not possible. Not these days.

How can the International community let this go on and on? When will they step up and take action? When will the shitty condemnations give place to severe actions? When will the World stand up and stop Israel? Really STOP them! Not just ask them to Stop!

If this was elsewhere, the UN and specially the United States would have taken action days ago. And by now, an International force would be in control of the situation. But no. It's with Israel. It's their business. And just like the US fucked up Iraq. Israel can just fuck up Lebanon. And poor Israel! They know what they are doing. They can do it. Suicide in the Middle East.

Israel 'presses US on bomb sale'

Reports from the US suggest Washington has been asked to speed up a shipment of precision bombs sold as part of a deal with Israel last year.

And as destruction grows and the days go on, Israel needs more bombs... So, just call up the supplier, which is the just the most pro-peace country in the World, and asks them to speed up the delivery... The United States is such a good country! They do care about the World. And I'm really glad they do take care of the World. That's why they are the Biggest Weapon Supplier on earth. That's why they are the Largest Weapon Manufacturers on earth. That's why they are in every war on earth.

If I was just nuts, I would say Weapon Deals are profitable. Yes, just like any other business. Wars generate loads of green dollar bills. Just like any other business. And the States are greedy about green wet money. Just like any other business. And they don't give a fuck how they get it, as long as they get it. Just like any other business. So, why bother. After all, Gambling with the future of the Earth, is just like any other kind of business. And they don't give a shit! So just eat it and shut up!

Israel's Secret Weapon

Israel's nuclear, biological and chemical capabilities have remained un-inspected.

Meanwhile Mordechai Vanunu has been imprisoned for 16 years for exposing Israel's secret nuclear bomb factory to the world.

Vanunu is seen as a traitor in his own country.

He has been abandoned by most of his family and has spent 11 years in solitary confinement.

Today only an American couple, who have legally adopted him, are among the few visitors he is permitted.

This film is the story of the bomb, Vanunu and Israel's wall of silence.

Israel's Secret Weapon. The BBC broadcasted this progamme back in March 2003. I haven't seen it yet, but hopefully it will be aired sometime soon, now that Israel is in the World's daily agenda again. For those interested, the transcript of the programme is available here (original). How can we consider Israel as a civilized and free country, capable of having Nuclear Weapons, when they are a threat to MidEast safety?

Israel Violates Law on U.S. Weapons in Mideast

UNITED NATIONS, Jul 17 (IPS) - Israel is in violation of U.S. arms control laws for deploying U.S.-made fighter planes, combat helicopters and missiles to kill civilians and destroy Lebanon's infrastructure in the ongoing six-day devastation of that militarily-weak country.

5 REASONS to Stop US Military Aid to Israel

Were is the Love?!

2006-07-22T13:06:00.000-07:00

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?

Contradictions of a Life time

2006-07-22T12:58:00.000-07:00

This week, George Bush used his presidential veto to block a bill on stem cell research, saying he couldn't support the 'taking of innocent human life'. In Iraq, six civilians are killed by a US air strike, while casualties in Lebanon and Israel mount. George Bush (and Tony Blair) oppose UN calls for an immediate ceasefire.

USA, UK and Israel versus The World

2006-07-22T12:29:00.000-07:00

Britain and US defy demand for immediate ceasefire

The UK, US and Israel are the only countries represented in the United Nations that refused to back the international plea for a ceasefire. Although the UK and the US are nothing in the Western World itself, the choice to refuse to back down an immediate ceasefire, can be seen as a bad image of the Western World towards Muslims and Arabs... But who cares!

I have been enjoying the action, on the couch. And luckily, the action will keep on going (and growing!). I particularly enjoy watching the daily changes in Lebanon. What it was 10 days ago. What it is today. Today Israel bombed the TV & Mobile Networks Antennas. Doing so, they have destroyed an evil force of propaganda amongst the terrorists. So, terrorists and, of course, the general population, in Lebanon, can now be proud of being in the first Mobile and TV FREE Country... in the World!! Congratulations. I wonder what will Lebanon be like after the Israeli get whatever it is they want... Who will want to be there, other then outraged citizens waiting for a revenge on the Israeli border?

Let's hope Israel can continue with their great work, erasing a country from the map. Who cares about Lebanese? Pff... Who will be next? I hope, they erase Iran, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, UK, USA, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan,... Well, just erase the rest of the World.

I have never been so proud of calling myself Western! I think we are really superior. We must destroy those terrorists, even if we do terrorism ourselves, by doing so. And I feel proud to be Catholic. God must be cheering, there in his little chair in heaven, with our daily Wars and Destruction. God must be glad, we have a blessed America to protect us. God must be glad we have everything figured out. This is the fucked up World we live in!

Well I must go on now, the news are back. And I want to see some more war from my couch.

Japan's Price

2006-07-19T08:17:00.000-07:00

"The Japanese constitution, drafted by the US in 1947, bans the use of force to
settle international disputes."

The Japanese constitution doesn't allow them to us force to settle international disputes?! And this constitution was drafted by the US?! This is the price for their role in the World World II. So what is the price for the Americans role around the Global Conflicts for the past decades? What is their price for bringing war all over the World? What is their price for arming rebels all over the World? What is their price for the use of force in international disputes, that aren't even theirs? Terrorist Acts against American interests and Americans! So, blame them.

I'm glad I'm not American. That problably makes me, and my country 90% less prone to terrorist acts then a normal American citizen.

Iranians stage anti-Israel rally

The Anti-Israel climate continues to grow around the Middle-East as Israel continues it's air and ground strikes in Gaza and the Lebanon. Is it only because they are "self-defending" against terrorist acts? Are Arabs just nuts? Bullshit!

Iraqi Sunnis seized amid killings

The "Civil War" in Iraq continues. And has continued for the past few years. But the United States stand firm, and say that, there is no Civil War in Iraq. In fact, I believe, Iraq is safer now, then it was before. The Iraqi people surely feel free from their dictator, but not free from going out... How many thousands of Iraqis have died since the US-led invasion? I wonder...

Indonesia death toll passes 500

Another Tsunami has affected the island of Java, killing more then 500 people. This is what the world should be focusing in. Trying to find ways to prevent deaths during Natural disasters. But no, we focus on oil and war. Building bigger and better weapons. Building new oil routes. Conquering new oil fields. Raising the world's dependence on oil. Destroying the Ozone Layer. Raising Pollution Levels. Helping the Climate change accelerate it's natural pace. In other words, fucking up the World.

Civil War legacy divides Spain

Spain "celebrates" 70 years since the start of the Civil War that affected the country before General Franco took over control of the country, starting about 40 years of fascist dictatorship. This was one of the worst pages in Spanish and European history, as thousands (or even up to a million) died during the three-years Civil War. A lot of countries including Portugal, France, Italy and Nazi led Germany, helped the rebels conquer Spain, while former USSR backed the democratically elected government. More here.

New aid for AU Darfur peace force

Despite fund raising activities by the international community to help end Darfur's massacre, it still continues. And it can get even worse, as the 7,000 African Union force is still unfunded and badly prepared for such a mission. Why doesn't Mr. Bush free the oppressed Sudanese too?

Because They Can

2006-07-19T07:12:00.000-07:00

Dozens die in fresh Lebanon raids

"At least 49 civilians have been killed in Israeli air strikes in Lebanon."

"More than 275 Lebanese - mostly civilians - have been killed since" the Israeli raids in Lebanon started.

"Twenty-five Israelis have died,including 13 civilians killed by Hezbollah rocket attacks."

Palestinians die in Israeli raids

"At least nine Palestinians have been killed in fresh Israeli operations in Gaza and the West Bank."

"Civilians are among the dozens of Palestinians who have died in the Israeli assault on Gaza, launched after an Israeli soldier was captured by Palestinian militants."

Lebanon condemns Israel 'madness'

"Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora says Israel is "opening the gates of hell and madness" on his country."

"About 230 Lebanese people have been killed since then - the vast majority of them civilians, but including about 30 soldiers. The number of Hezbollah fighters killed is not known."

How can we consider Hezbollah's rocket attacks as terrorist acts, and Israel's raids all over Lebanon only as self-defense? Isreal is destroying the Airport, Power Plants, Bridges, Buildings, Schools, Markets, and much more all around Lebanon and Gaza. Israel has the military power to avoid such targets, but are they willing to do that?

When will the international community stand up hard against this acts? Or they'll just continue politly asking Israel for a cease-fire?

This is what we call the Western Civilized World. This is what the American Goverment calls the Free World. Then if this is the Free World, as I have said before, I would like to say God "unbless" the Free World. And ofcourse, as America is the flag of the Free World, "Damn you God, UNBLESS America!"

Intifada

2006-07-18T05:59:00.000-07:00

Intifada, according to Wikipedia, is an Arabic term for "uprising". It came into common usage in English as the popularised name for two recent Palestinian campaigns directed at ending the Israeli military occupation.

Support the Intifada.

I wonder how many civilians and officers have the Israeli arrested or killed in the past years. But nevertheless as Bush said, every country has the right to defend themselves against terrorist acts. So, if there are new "terrorist" acts in the States, please refer to Mr. Bush's comment. After all, they have killed innocent civilians all over the world, and although, they call it collateral damages, to their families and their countrymen, that is also considered terrorism.

Bloody battle in northern Darfur

Where are the freedom fighters when they are really needed? Where is Mister George Wicked Bush's administration call for freedom around the world, when in Darfur, the massacre continues? They are the so called Democratic world, spreading freedom and democracy around the globe. Freeing the Oppressed. Liberating the Powerless.

But are there other business at stake behind the Free World? Does oil really matter?

Fuck the Civilized World!

Israel denies 'excessive force'

Fresh Israeli strikes target Gaza

Annan warning on Gaza 'disaster'

Anger and grief amid Gaza rubble

Israel rejects call for ceasefire

When will it end? When will the World start taking up real measures against Israel too? When will the World stop pretending the only terrorists around the Middle East are the Arabs? When will the World condemn the Israeli invasion of Palestinian territories? I guess the World just doesn't care, because Israel are part of the so called "Civilized World" and Palestine is just a bunch of Muslims and Arabs without any faith or hope in the future... Action should be taken right away, before it's too late, but until the World condemns Israel as much as they condemn the Palestinian Authority, nothing much will change in the Middle East. And the so called "Civilized World", will always be at risk.

Terrorism

2006-07-10T09:16:00.000-07:00

Terrorism refers to a strategy of using violence, or threat of violence to generate fear, cause disruption, and ultimately, to bring about compliance with specific political, religious, ideological, and personal demands. The targets of terrorist attacks typically are not the individuals who are killed, injured, or taken hostage, but rather the societies to which these individuals belong. Terrorism is a type of unconventional warfare designed to weaken or supplant existing political landscapes through capitulation or acquiescence, as opposed to subversion or direct military action. The broader influence of terrorism in the modern world is often attributed to the dramatic focus of mass media in amplifying feelings of intense fear and anger.

State terrorism more specifically refers to violence and threats of violence, embargoes and other forms of terrorism against civilians by the government of a state.

It Is Time!

2006-07-04T09:29:00.000-07:00

Well, it's finally over... England and Brazil are officially out of the World Cup, and so, English and Brazilian fans have been flying out of Germany non-stop for the past few days. There are reports saying, that flights to London are still full. And both, England and Brazil, have been out of the World Cup since last Saturday! It's a pity! It truly is!

Well, on to the Match we go... England made it again! In 2004, England managed to get trough to the Quarter-finals of the European Championship, but lost against Portugal in the penalty shoot-out after an exciting game... And now, in 2006, they have made it again. Portugal sent England home, again, in the penalties, after a goaless match. It's unbelievable. But it's true. And, I truly believe the English are cursed. They just can't beat anyone in penalties. It's the fourth time. In the aftermath of the match, English fans were delightly chanting "WE ARE GOING HOME"!

Meanwhile, former world champions Brazil, just thought they could win, this year's World Cup, without playing any football on field, and maybe they were just right. They just won, an early flight home, and a marvelous reception by their fans. I guess they were just way too confident. Just like the English journalists. And so , shit happens... And WE ARE ON!

And I'm just glad...
