The Future’s Bright: the Future’s a Tired Ad Slogan


Holland: they’re so freakin’ HOT in this World Cup that you can stick someone in the team from freakin’ Norwich and they still win. Yes, Leory Fer, this means you - all season, in the ‘English’ Premier League, you were rubbish playing for rubbish Norwich. And yet when you don the sexy all-orange Nike kit to represent your country, you play like some kind of superman. And you scored a goal. Against Chile.

All well and good, but you don’t have a cool name. Memphis Depay does. He plays for PSV Eindhoven AND HE PLAYS FOR HOLLAND. And he too scored a goal. Against Chile. That’s two goals scored and none conceded. For 90 minutes. Against Chile.

B is for Group B, which Holland topped after this win. B is also for Blimey, they didn’t exactly miss suspended skipper Robin Van Persie. And B is for Brazil, who probably won't win the tournament, ‘cos be honest they’re not all that. Holland are, though. They are all that and more. Go Holland.
