What sports teams do you support?

I think this must be from the Commonwealth/Empire Games closing ceremony.

Lucky bear.

[Heid the Ba]

It is an excellent photo but she was wearing much less than that last night, she still can't sing or dance though.

[Мастер]

Who is she?

[Heid the Ba]

Kylie Minogue, an Australian actor and singer, though that description is on the generous side. She was the headline act at the closing ceremony for The Commies.

Ah, I know about her, I just couldn't recognise her from the photo.

It does look like she's wanking the bear.

According to the internets, it's old news.

From that link,

The social networking site sent out an email which read: "We do not allow photos that contain nudity, drug use or violence."

Well, I guess we have partial nudity in the case of the bear. Or maybe she's wanking the bear really hard, so it counts as violence. Or perhaps it is assumed that it was drug use which caused her to wank a bear.

And, over the weekend, Russia defeated Zimbabwe, and Uruguay defeated Hong Kong, in qualification play for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. So Russia and Uruguay will slug it out, once in September, and again in October, so see who gets the only remaining World Cup slot.

Had Hong Kong prevailed over Uruguay, then it would be Russia against Hong Kong - the Snowden Refuge Bowl. But it was not to be.

And in a second sign of the Apocalypse, the Black Ferns lose a World Cup game . . .

So Ireland won.

Are the members of the women's team also pigfuckers, or is that just the men?

sheepfuckers

They all are, it is a collective term for all the Oirish and Bodil Joensen*.

In fitba' news, it could be a long, long season. The cunning plan is to resign old (and I mean old) players who were good once to get us back into the top division. Unfortunately their legs are going and the rest don't think fast enough, if at all. And our manager is an idiot.

*I'm at work and not googling to check the spelling of her surname. Do so at your own risk.

Finally, something serious to talk about here.

SpVGg Greuther Fürth 5 - 1 1. FC Nürnberg,

on the second day of play of the German Second League. Fuerth are now on a 6 year non-losing streak against the glorious Club (or Glubb, as they say in Franconia). My in-laws are seething.

Australia and New Zealand square off on Saturday.

[tubeswell]

Go the Ozzies

[Мастер]

Feckin' Australians

[Мастер]

That's more like it. All is once again as it should be.

[Мастер]

Oh bugger.

[Мастер]

WTF?

[Мастер]

South Africa now the tournament leader. Wasn't expecting that.

[tubeswell]

Well that was interesting for a change.

[Lianachan]

I don't even know what sport you guys are talking about.

[tubeswell]

NZ vs Oz = a draw

[Heid the Ba]

Edit: Wrong week, wrong games.

Despite Kevin Durant taking his ball and going home, US Basketball managed to win their friendly vs. Brazil on Sunday. The US was able to post a couple of different double-digit leads in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, yet Brazil brought it back to within a basket both times, but finally just ran out of gas in the last half of the 4th.
