Brazilian Footballer - new endangered species
It would appear that a new endangered species has been identified. It is the Brazilian Football Player at the 2006 World Cup. According to the Brazilian Spin Doctors the species is threatened by overly aggressive opponents, particularly the Australian species known as the Socceroos. In accordance with the Spin Doctors guidelines this newly endangered species is being given special protection....by World Cup referees.
The species can be identified by its yellow and blue plumage, often with a partially or fully shaved head. It has recently been seen in Germany, on football pitches, running around with one arm extended, to illegally keep its opponents at bay. Should an opponent come within an arms length of the species, it is liable to collapse in a screaming heap, at which point the referee will caution the opponent....for attempted murder.
Fair Dinkum! A magnificent performance by the Socceroos this morning. The 2-0 score line in favour of Brazil was not representative of the way the match played out. I think Brazil would have been flattered by a 1-1 draw.
On the basis of Brazil's first two matches, I cannot see them winning this World Cup. I am tempted to say that if Brazil do win this World Cup, I will walk the length of Collins Street, backwards, naked, and in a stooped position....but you never know when the "Fat Man" will decide its time to sing.
