World Cup 2010 - Part the Last

With Euro 2012 descending on us with all the crushing inevitability of a giant racist Hippo, this post brings you the very last of the archive highlights of word-guff from the 2010 World Cup. With the Euro highlights due to begin today at 4:15pm on BBC One, the word-nets and guff-traps have been fully set, ready to capture any and all nonsense that Gary and chums will vomit forth into my ears.

What the stadiums looked like from 12th July 2010 onwards

'That was a little bit Hollywood' - That pass/shot was way too optimistic, and also rubbish

'William Gallas looked like a gazelle that had plopped out of it's mothers womb, and was trying to get it's bandy legs sorted out' - William Gallas has fallen over and it is amusing

'Bambi-esque on ice' - The player slipped over

'The keeper's a big tart doing that' - I think the keeper is being unsportsmanlike (Mick Mcarthy)

'A buccaneering run' - A powerful and exciting run towards goal with the ball

'He's a little will o'wisp figure' - He's small

'I always thought there was a look of "Hannibal Lectar" about Bob Bradly' - I think Bob Bradley looks silly so I am making a comment explaining this

'Xavi…one of the worlds best pingers' - Xavi is good at passing the ball

'Have another frankfurter!' - The Germans are playing well and deserve recognition of some kind (Mick Mcarthy)

'He just got a nose to it' - He managed to glance the ball with the tip of his forehead

'He's getting a roasting from his keeper!' - His keeper is telling him off for making a mistake

'Gyan with a speculator!' - Gyan has shot from long range

'Germany only failed to get out of the group stages once in the World Cup, in 1938…but Germany probably had something else on their minds then' - I am making a reference to the war, but don't actually want to come out and say it plainly

'The seductive touch of those who massage the ball around' - Spain are really good at passing

'He can make the ball sit up and beg' - He is good at controlling the ball

'Look at Tevez, like a one man battleship trying to wrestle through the German back line' - Tevez is playing well and trying really hard

'NOW they're hungry!' - The team was playing rubbish, but is playing good now
