World Cup Preview 3

This is the third of the four-part special on this year's World Cup. There was much debate on the cost of watching this sporting event when the two local telcos unveiled their packages last month

Actually, other than the players, referees and erm, the quality of the players and referees, the commentator also plays a crucial part in determining how exciting/nice is it to watch a game. However, these are some things which you will never hear a commentator say during the World Cup and maybe the next few

1. This Jabulaini ball has just made Gianluigi Buffon concede a third straight goal against New Zealand. It's 3:0 to the All Whites...Oh wait, he's complaining to the referee!

2. It seems that the Spain-Switzerland match has to be delayed because none of the Spanish keepers are willing to play unless the ball is changed

3. Omg, I can run faster than Peter Crouch!

4. Look at those Brazllian fans! Wow!

5. Hmmm, is this Slovakia or Slovenia?

6. The Greece team has pulled out of the tournament due to their domestic financial problems.

7. Portugal looks like they are going to follow Greece as well. Cristiano Ronaldo is going to cry.

8. In the starting line-up of the United States team are Landon Donnovan, hey is this correct? (background voice: "Yes") Kobe Bryant, Tyson Gay, Tiger Woods and John Cena! Huh? (background voice: anything wrong?)

9. Lionel Messi has just scored with his hand! The referee didn't see it! And Maradona is jumping like mad on the bench!

10. This is Brazil's number 10, Ricardo Izecson dos San...ahh !@#$%, it's just Kaka ok?

11. It's Jose Mourinho! He's running onto the pitch towards the ref because Portugal had conceded an offside goal from Côte d'Ivoire's Didier Drogba!

12. Shouting from the stands of the Brazil-North Korea match is Barack Obama who seems to be booing the North Koreans!

13. The Netherlands are playing good defensive football here.

14. France are into the final again! Well done.

15. And coming onto the pitch is the Singapore team.
