Maybe I missed the good ones, but I am not seeing anything too funny yet. Maybe there is nothing ironic about the world cup..

I remember posting a few myself (although I did tie one into Cumbria which the Ed deleted - probably quite rightly to be fair) but it'll all kick off once the whistle blows (arf!)

The remaining player [insert name of famous Brazilian footballer here] (I only know Pele)has to play on his own while his team mates go to a bar. At half time, they decide to check the score and are amazed that it is nil nil. After 90 minutes they check again and find that the match ended in a nil all draw. They rush to the changing room to congratulate their team mate. He is in tears, absolutely inconsolable. "I've let you down, I've let myself down and I've let my country down" he says. "But", they exclaim, "you managed to hold the entire English football team to a draw, on your own". "I know", he says, "but I was sent off in the tenth minute."

I have never actually met anyone who was genuinely keen on spectator sports. Sitting in front of the telly eating crisps and pizza is the primary activity, and a telly displaying scrums of muddy blokes plays the part that a fish tank would, if the pizza and crisps were consumed in a public, sit-down establishment like MacDoh.
