Argentina is a much better team and they deserve to be ahead... but it's much more fun when the underdog wins. 😀
I just want to see the African teams give a good account of themselves; at least Nigeria have held on to half-time since conceding.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatYes, totally Irish, but I couldn't help mentioning him. Are there any good comedians that aren't either from the UK or Ireland? Maybe some Australian or something.
Yeah love Dylan Moran, but he's Irish. If we're talking Irish, gotta also mention Ardal O'Hanlan - excellent stand-up, but not quite as good as his Dougal in Father Ted. Also Dara O'Briain.

Originally posted by duecerShoaib Akhtar holds the current record for bowling a cricket ball at 161kph. That's 100mph. Cricket balls are heavier and harder than base-balls too. The fastest baseball throw is 100.9 mph.
you'de wear a helmet too if I threw a ball 100mph at your chin., and no only the batter and base runner wears a helmet...by the way don't cricket pitchers throw underhand? in the USA only girls pitch underhand
Look at this baseball catcher: http://tinyurl.com/2dgfazq
Compared to this cricket wicket keeper: http://tinyurl.com/2am6xp3
And all baseball fielders have to wear enormous gloves to help them catch. Pathetic.

Originally posted by hopscotchErm... there's an Aussie called Steve Hughes I saw recently supporting Reginald D Hunter - he was a riot. Omid Djalili's quite funny - he's Iranian. Although they're both sort of British now. Cuh! Blimmin' immigrants.

Dave Chapelle wins the prize for keeping it real, something a lot of African-American comedians suggest they do but are sell-outs in actuality: if you think I am a racist, with faux-black credentials, you can kiss my black ass.
Jim Jeffries was the most obscene but also had some religiose-political fodder in there; just got paid by HBO, you say, guess it's obscene only now.
Canadian comedians always appear like they should be decent but in reality they always try to be over-offensive negating the fact that the Aussie and British counterparts are actually offensive. Jason Rouse is a good example: look at me, I am so offensive: no, you are a ficktard.
Though if you want a foreign comedian (though there is a vicious rumour that he is actually an ironic Brit) you can't do much worse that Hennig Wehn: a German comedian!
