Well firstly England beat Australia. Yes, Australia, that place where you are bound to hear someone say “Gooday mate!” or “Let’s put another shrimp on the barbee!”
Then in some sort of collision of the planets, Chabals (Click link) team, France(Those people who smoke Gauloises and drive Peugeots…and maybe Smart cars as well) go and turn the World Cup on it’s head by beating the favourites in the form of New Zealand!
If you had listened to my advice a little while back (Click link) on betting, you would now be in a position where you would be waiting for pay day. To be honest, I’m just sitting back waiting for South Africa to hoist that World Cup above their heads! It might not be Francois and Madiba, but it’s going to be just as sweet. And they will no doubt be watching in any case.
When I looked at the betting, New Zealand were the favourites and South Africa were second. With New Zealand gone, that leaves South Africa. BOOM!
The only thing I will miss are the commentators shouting “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it’s Dan Carter!” Well at least we still have Bob Skinstad. “Ah it’s Skinner! Large and in charge!”
But seriously, can you believe how crazy this World Cup is at the moment? World Cup can be translated to “Wereld beker” for those of you living beyond the boerewors curtain. Not the iron curtain, that is a completely different thing. This is a uniquely South African thing. Ken jy hoor? Look, it’s all Afrikaans so some of the foreign people might not understand. I apologise profusely for that.
Anyway, I’m just writing this to let you know that the SLXS World Cup prediction is coming along nicely. I hope you all read that post on the betting before the betting actually closed. I also hope you did in fact bet.
And yes it’s a Saturday night and I’m writing this. Hey I can’t party all the time! Someone has to accomplish things around here.
Night night.
