I don't like the world cup. It fills my TV with rubbish, the roads with flags and the high street with silly wigs and t-shirts covered in innuendos about scoring.

And if adverts are to be believed the World cup will be played in airports, alleyways and carparks using food products for balls.

It's only a game.

Now see, if it was played in carparks with food it might be entertaining. Or indeed, in the park with a flaming bogroll.

I'm vaguely looking forward to it this year. Big sporting events make life more interesting at a bookies.

i'm not a massive sports fan. i like to play foot ball, but see no point what-so-ever watching it!

They're all wusses, it makes me cringe. Likr, they get a tap to the shin and start rolling around calling for an ambulance. WUSS!

I'm a huge footie fan (~2000 miles worth so far this year) but the World Cup cash-in is even getting on my tits.

I suggested that my neighbour go on holiday for the World Cup, one time he was moaning at me for swearing at the footie on telly. He moved out ;o)

Olympics? I like the proper sports like running, jumping and throwing. The rest of it (i.e. the comedy sports Britain gets medals in) is nonsense.

If I won a gold medal at volleyball or badminton, I'd bloody keep it quiet in case my mates found out!

Even our local florist has a West Ham display ffs! Look on the bright side, if you want to go shopping at the weekend, the shops will be empty Saturday afternoon.

Mwahahahahaha! I knew living in Wales and not having a television would pay dividends!

NO SQUIDDY IT'S NOT JUST A GAME, it's national pride that's at stake here. For once this country gets to feel good about itself for beating some insignificant place like trinidad and tobago into a pulp and reminding ourselves why we were once rulers of the planet. If you go for a night out when we're still in the world cup i'm sure you'll notice a much cheerier atmosphere, people stop beating each other up in cov for a few weeks at least. True the adverts are annoying but i'll put up with that if it means i can drunkenly shout at a tv for the few hours england will be playing.
