Spain’s nap time and Ol’ Luis

June 11th, 2006 | by: Ian |

We are still four days away from Spain-Ukraine, so we can get to the match prognostication soon.

For now, let’s get to the real news about Spain’s World Cup team.

Luis Aragones rejected a welcoming bouquet of flowers and deemed it an insult. Said Aragones: “There’s no room up my a— for the hair of a shrimp, never mind flowers.” This guy truly is one of a kind and not necessarily in a good way.

Spain is dropping its afternoon siesta from its daily routine. Why? Because Spain’s first match, against the Ukraine on Wednesday, is during the Spain team’s usual siesta. If Spain sleepwalks their way through the match, now you know why.

Predictions for today’s matches:
Serbia and Montenegro 1, Netherlands 0
Mexico 2, Iran 1
Portugal 3, Angola 0

[...] When Spain coach Luis Aragones speaks, the world cringes. In the latest sign that the 67-year-old is truly unstable, he rejected a welcoming bouquet of flowers at his team’s training camp in Germany because it was threat to his virility. Said Aragones: “There’s no room up my a— for the hair of a shrimp, never mind flowers.” An interesting expression if ever there was one. Do shrimp even have hair and, if so, are they commonly inserted into the backsides of people? The only thing Aragones hates worse than those girly flowers is the color yellow. If I were Ukriane I’d make sure to send him some yellow daisies before the June 14 match.

Where were you when I correctly picked Ecuador? That was the forecasting highlight of my life! We’ll see what happens in the remaining group games: Arjen Robben vs. Ivory Coast and Arjen Robben vs. Argentina.

where do find these people that write these blogs ?

well, they just volunteered to do so, they enjoy doing so, and they take the time daily to find interesting/entertaining information about their team

Predictions are just that, predictions… proffessional sports commentators make predictions all the time that fail, I too predicted Serbia to win, it was a close game, it could have gone either way
