FIFA World Cup Football/Soccer!!!

Yes, poor Piotr (his resemblance to a certain someone took my breath away.):

Piotr Trochowski - Germany

 

I have never seen a close-up from him until now. You're right.

Uncanny!

Well done to Germany for its third place finish.

And the final has started... 33 minutes in and its 0-0.

Go Holland!

[Kelda]

At 90 mins it was 0-0 and so it went to extra time.
With 3 mins of the 30mins extra time to go, Spain scored.

While I feel bad for , I think Spain were the better side on the day.

Well, it's over!  Spain won the world cup.  I would have been just has happy if the Netherlands had won, I liked both teams.

Hasta la vista Netherlands:

Rafael van der Vaart - Netherlands

So late to the party, there aren't even leftovers to be had - but I just *had* to say how much I laughed at this. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooo funny. And so well made.

Made even funnier IMO by the soccer fan orc hordes at Moria sporting several big Norwegian flags. One has to wonder why, precious, since Norway (thank God!!!) didn't make it to South Africa at all. The craze was huge enough without having the home team to cheer for and agonize  over.

Thank you for posting this, Meryl. Loved it muchly.

[Meryl]

Ha!  I didn't notice the Norwegians in Moria. 

Glad you liked it, Mika!  Indeed, the pained expressions of the Fellowship were perfect for the job.

The Fellowship of the Vuvezela?   This was hilarious - thanks!
