World Cup 2002 Drinking Game
Ok - whenever the following occurs, take one sip of your drink. You should be pretty happy by the end of the finals :-)
* Someone gets a card (twice if its red).
* Someone passes back to the keeper (warning: doing this in any match involving Germany could be hazardous to your liver).
* Someone is penalised for diving/play-acting (this is cummulative with the rule about cards).
* An individual's mistake gifts the other team a goal.
* You see a player with a ridiculous/bad haircut (mullets count, twice if the haircut is also dyed/bleached)
* You see a black/asian player with bleach blond hair (twice if he also has blond facial hair)
* A player has an utterly unpronouncable name on the back of his shirt (twice if the commentator can actually pronounce it).
* A skilled international player trips over his own feet (twice if he appeals for a free kick straight afterwards, three times if the kick is actually awarded)
* A player accidentally kicks the ball out of grounds when under no preasure from the opposition.
* A player has to hold back a team mate from physically assaulting the referee.
* There is a close up on a coach/manager (twice if he doesn't look aggitated/angry, three times if he actually smiles)
* A player starts with possession of the ball in the opposition half and somehow manages to end up back in his own half, still in possession of the ball (this is cummulative with passing back to the keeper - see above).
* A player blatantly kicks the ball out and still appeals to the linesman for the throw in/corner.
* A player has a clear shot on the opposing goal and muffs it completely (cummulative with tripping over one's own feet - see above)
* A player is wearing white boots (twice if they actually look good).
* A player shows dissent at a referee's decision.
* The referee makes a decision which clearly indicates he has no ideas about the rules of football (purely subjective).
* A player has to be carted from the field due to injury.
* The commentator screams out the name of a player who has just scored in ecstacy (this usually works best with players whose name ends in a vowel, especially Brazil: "RonaldOOOOO!!!!", "RivaldOOOOO!", "RonaldinhOOOO!")
* You find yourself going "Ohhhh!" at the TV when a shot goes near/in goal (twice if you also throw your arms in the air).
* A player scores a goal and his celebration is completely ludicrous, especially if it involves dancing, acrobatics, bellyflops or stripping on pitch (twice if the whole team join in, three times if the bench/coach/fans run on the pitch and join in).
* You see a Japanese/Korean fan at a neutral match with their face painted in another nation's colours.
* A player misses a penalty (twice if as a result, his team is out of the finals; It is permissable to drink the whole glass if it is *your* team out of the finals - note this is not a problem for Australians - we already drank our glass late last year).

"At this stage I believe I now understand the truth, which is that Lucas has gone over to the dark side. He is a Darth Billionaire ruling an empire, and is no longer leading a rebellion. He was once a semi-independent force, overshadowed by a dark and powerful business, but still managed to beat the odds and on his own terms, but now he sits on a throne with lightning in his hands and a franchise in his clenched fist."
