Have to say, early candidate for post of the competition this time out has to be Audioslavia's Spaamgate, another excellent piece on NS WC heritage, I really enjoyed it. For anyone who wasn't there for the first ten World Cup editions, this is surely essential reading.

Or am I the only relative newb who cares about this stuff?

MC Monky L-Man be thinkin' that all youse bitches iz hos.

Word.

Though, more seriously, I don't see why I should be particularly concerned at losing to the top-ranked team in the group by a single goal. The Archregimancy is only ranked 28th in the world these days, so a 1-0 loss to Jeru FC is hardly a cause for concern.

Or how the Rangers girl looks dazed, confused, lost, and bereft.
