The beast within

The World Cup starts today with the titanic clash of footballing super nations that is Germany v Costa Rica. The irony of this is, of course, that Costa Rica sounds more like a Brazilian player than a country. "Ronaldo, a short through ball to Ronaldhino, a beautiful cross, met by Rica and oh, he's scored a wonderful goal." Alternatively, it sounds like everybody's Dad making shit jokes about south american footballers. "Chelsea have signed a Brazilian have they? Eh? What's his name? Costa Lotta? Hahahaha..ha...ha....oh"
