As if “4-1″ wasn’t bad enough. As if Sunday’s soul-crushing smackdown of the England football team, along with Tea, Baked Beans, The Queen, Crumpets, and Red Phone Booths wasn’t enough, German captain Phillip Lahm dropped a real daisy cutter during a press conference today. We first got wind of it via a Tweet from The Telegraph’s Henry Winter.
Speaking about Saturday’s quartefinal showdown with Diego’s Hombres, Lahm said: “We”re on to the big teams now. We want to beat Argentina so we can finally say we’ve beaten a big team.”
But wait, does that mean…? Ohhh! Whoooa baby. He did nawt!
**Update**
It must be pile-on England day (courtesy of Argentina and Germany), because Argie CB Martin Dimichelis offered up a cherry of his own this afternoon during a final press briefing before their hotly anticipated quarterfinal. Dimichelis figures, “si hago yo el partido que hizo el inglés John Terry contra Alemania no puedo volver más a mi país.” Simple translation: “If I play like John Terry did against the Germans I won’t be allowed back to Argentina.”
Wasn’t that what Hitler said after the Battle of Dunkirk (only substituting USA for Argentina)??
Three kitties. I laffed.
Lahm is right and so was Muller. Get rid of em all.
