Don't know what your view of the World Cup is but the often excellent
The Onion has had done some wonderful tweeting on its twitter feed (
here). Favourites so far include;
- Center Forward: runs up and down the field to keep himself and his teammates awake
- Sweeper: called this for the same reason damn near everything has some other word for it in Europe
- Game clock: runs at random times for no reason and is ignored by players and officials alike
- Referees: decide if a minor penalty receives a yellow, canary, goldenrod, blond or marigold card
They have also done a very handy introduction to world-cup soccer. And they say Americans don't understand association football.
