Having a go
China's foremost sports commentator, Huang Jianxiang, is in trouble after getting a little carried away with Italy's last gasp, controversial win over Australia in the World Cup. What did he say? "Grosso done it! He done it! Great Italian left back! Grosso alone represents the long history and tradition of Italian soccer! He is not fighting alone at the moment!" he continued. "Totti! He is about to take the shot! He shoulders the expectations of the whole world! It's a goal! Game over! Italy didn't fall to Hiddink's team this time! (Hiddink led South Korea to knock out Italy in the 2002 World Cup). Happy birthday to Paolo Maldini (born on July 26)! Long Live Italy!"Neutralized Australians? With Prime Minister John Howard currently shopping in Shenzhen, that doesn't bode well for my compatriots. Huang has now apologized. If he is so passionate about Italy, one shudders to think what he would be like if China had actually made the finals. Meanwhile, in the interests of bringing you the finest from the China Daily, a NSFW gallery of nude photography in Hunan. Good to see the clampdown on "indecent" websites is paying off. posted by Simon on 06.28.06 at 08:29 AM in the Sport category.

"one shudders to think what he would be like if China had actually made the finals." he would say, --- well, when i first viewed the clip on youtube, i honestly thought he was being sarcastic on the PK verdict. posted by: sun bin on 06.28.06 at 08:42 AM [permalink]"one shudders to think what he would be like if China had actually made the finals." he would say, --- so, when i first viewed the clip on youtube, i honestly thought he was being sarcastic on the PK verdict. posted by: sun bin on 06.28.06 at 08:43 AM [permalink]The video clip: Perfect site! Anything superfluous, all is laconic and beautiful. Thanks! posted by: mona on 06.28.06 at 03:27 PM [permalink]Welcome Blog Free Promotion Plan! Simon, that is not mere porn but "art". The myth that commies have no taste is a myth, perpetuated by the likes of Hannah Beech of the Times. Mainlanders don't wear Italian suit with labels on, and those caught drinking XO in pitchers of ice are Taiwanese. Ah...but you're overlooking those sophisticated mainland metrosexuals quaffing Great Wall mixed with Sprite and green tea with their JW Black Label... posted by: Justin on 06.29.06 at 01:52 PM [permalink]Just another example of people getting too worked up over the World Cup. Over here in the states, the whole event is an afterthought. posted by: SH on 06.30.06 at 12:45 AM [permalink]SH: it's just like the rest of the world manages to ignore the World Series, Stanley Cup, NBA and NFL without too much of a problem. posted by: Simon on 06.30.06 at 12:29 PM [permalink]I was interested by his use of the phrase 'neutralized Australians' - I don't know but I wonder if that was supposed to mean 'naturalised Australians' - and if so that might indicate that part of the reason he doesn't like the Australian team is because he imagines that Croatians, Italians etc aren't "real" Australians, and that the Australian team isn't 100% Australian. Which I think shows a fundamental ignorance of what Australians are really like. posted by: Adrian on 06.30.06 at 01:37 PM [permalink]i guess Simon was making fun of the typo. i presume it was supposed to be 'naturalized' posted by: sun bin on 07.01.06 at 08:39 AM [permalink]p.s. that ties with his last quote that 'most of them live in europe anyway' however, technically, if you are naturalized you will only be able to represent your new motherland. (australia allows double nationality?) But that just shows the commentator's ignorance - all of those players were born in Australia. They live in Europe because they play in European leagues - like Sun Ji Hai. posted by: Adrian on 07.01.06 at 12:57 PM [permalink]Unexpected victories are on the way these days..........Brazil's lost against France was toooooooo shocking. France attitude seemed as if they wanted to pay off the old scores(revenge) and they succeeded too. Now wat????? posted by: candacejune on 07.03.06 at 04:53 PM [permalink]That was a great game, one of the best World Cup i remember seeing. posted by: Madison on 07.06.06 at 06:24 PM [permalink]Well done! Absolutely loved your site! |
