Football and the art of language.
James Kellerman
I am not able to watch the world cup, partly because I am at work and partly because FIFA hasn't figured out how the internet works yet. Perhaps as a consolation I can read the BBC's coverage which includes such wonderfully visual descriptions as this.
40 mins: Peter Crouch and Dennis Lawrence jump for and an up and under. It's like watching a regional pogo jumping competition when these two 6'7" beanpoles go for a high ball. Lawrence takes top marks on this occasion.Come on England! Update: We never make it easy do we, but we won and are through to the last 16!
