In that case consider the above image emphatically well-chosen.

I have a simple rule of thumb which dictates that when I search for images of a particular player, I will always choose the one of him on a gurney, giving a thumbs up.

Incidentally Fergal, what exact demographic are you trying to appeal to with topless pics of Wesley Sneijder?

The Dutch are nothing if not perverse. You expect them to fall flat on their fannies and they turn up and steam-roll the world champions. “Neurotic Genius” how are ya?

Sneijder’s strike might even force us to get the Whelanometer out.

Well it’s the only one that’s come even close thus far! I’d have to see it again but at first glance I’d award it a tentative 2.5 on the Whelanometer.

we await the Big One with trepidation, for when it comes, it will destroy everything.

It’ll probably result in them imploding, throwing away a lead, and (as usual) losing on penalties.

I hope not. Tonight they glowed with a healthy (rather than sickly) orange. It was a joy to see.

It was great to see those Italian fake-world-cup-champions hammered as they deserved. They stole the World Cup by annoying poor Zizou too much and I’m glad the Dutch heroes kicked their miserable, unshaven arses.
