[Oot] Ripped effect on official art
Just looking through some of the social media posts about Oot and noticed they all have that ripped effect. It’s quite an odd thing to have, I’m wondering if there’s a reason why they’ve done that?
I did some Keith Haring style drawings for the World Cup final being held in New York
World Cup final ball being used in the 3rd place off play off
I am not having it, thank you very much.
On the topic of wrong photos being used
Like the Roberto Carlos one mentioned on the podcast yesterday, this photo of Zidane is used a lot when talking about his performances at the World Cup but it is clearly from after he retired. It is from 2008, a tenth anniversary thing. Really annoys me every time I see it.
Real missed opportunity if none of the newspapers use the headline “The DR will see you now” ahead of the England game
Scotland - Brazil commentary
Slightly awkward start to the match as Liam McLeod has clearly come loaded with lots of fun little facts surrounding the game such as the other events going on at the stadium, people in the crowd or Paqueta dancing to bagpipes in a video, yet Scotland’s horrific start has meant the game has a lot more tense and James McFadden is absolutely silent.
Belgium vs Iran is the most 1994 World Cup looking game so far
Half expected Jack Charlton to be on the sidelines in his white cap.
Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia felt more like a 0-0 than Spain vs Cape Verde
A very strange game.
Netherlands vs Japan
Feels like Netherlands vs Japan is the first game of the World Cup that feels like a proper World Cup game, like it could have been in any of the world cups since 98.
Whatever that just was on ITV
Oh dear, the presenter and the American sitting to the side was cringe worthy and that was before she referred to Graham Potter Gareth Southgate. Oh so very ITV.
Pre World Cup friendlies
Was quite annoyed to see that the USA had played Germany in a pre tournament friendly yesterday, it seemed a bit too high profile this close to the opening games. A host nation against a team who could potentially win it. It also fails at being one of my favourite thing about pre World Cup friendly matches: the opposition standing in for a team that’s “a bit like” someone in their group. Scotland vs Bolivia (a bit like Brazil) is perfect.
Left it late
Watching the goals of the 2014 World Cup on the BBC website and was struck by the BBC saying Germany had left it to late to win the World Cup.
It just doesn't quite feel right for a winning goal in a World Cup final, especially being in extra time. Leaving it late suggests to me a team who is favourite to win scoring a goal in the last 10 minutes or so, rather than two equal teams in a huge match.
