This sounds like a Bill Bailey skit

 

Like I say - right on the cusp of ridiculous.

[Lionator]

Mexico will actually be a very difficult team to beat on home soil. I think the draw has us playing them in the last 16

[MPH]

High press when down to 10 men. Interesting.

[MC Prussian]

Where there drinking break commercials during the 2022 WC, too? Can't remember.

Is everyone wearing pink boots? There some reason for that? 

 

Only the goalies and refs seem to not be.

Seems the trend for this tournament.

[Finnegan]

That's not a foul

 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Did that announcer just shout 'IT'S A FULL HOUUUUUUSE!' 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Tannoy loud enough? 

 

First goals are going to be be crucial

There's always one or two boots everyone is wearing at a world cup. All the major manufacturers will use it to promote the thing they want all the kids to buy. 

 

Bright colors sell. 

 

[RowlattsFox]

**** off. Get on with the game 

[StanSP]

Harsh red. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

How is that a red

[foxfanazer]

[The Horse's Mouth]

Who’s this yank tart

[StanSP]

Game's gone. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

A couple of harsh red cards… a hope this doesn’t become a thing 

[MPH]

Hmm… that’s a tad harsh…

[foxile5]

That 'refereeing expert' is utterly devoid of contextual knowledge, isn't she?

 

'He's raised his hand so it's a red card' is essentially her input. 

[RonnieTodger]

What a load of shit. Keep rewarding soft lads throwing themselves to the floor, nice one.

First one not harsh at all! 

[Zear0]

Wtf was that

[MC Prussian]

Just subbed in.

Doing a Cameroon 1990.

[Finnegan]

That's ****ing stupid. 

 

[RowlattsFox]

He was being blocked off.

Soft twat the Mexican. 

 

Bit harsh to make a ref to announce it in not his language
