What do the 2006 FIFA World Cup Semi-Finalists have in common?
I was at Guardian with V on Sunday when it suddenly struck me, how queer the coincidence was.
The four countries remaining in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, well...Italy, Germany, France and Portugal, they all have a long history of......not football.....but.....Wines!
Italy, with the chianti made famous by Hannibal Lector. Germany with the crisp riesling, personal favourite amongst whites. France, well, no need to say....and Portugal, where port draws its name from. Port is a fortified wine. Which means that alcohol, usually brandy, is added to halt the fermentation.
Like really....drink wine. It's marvellous what wine can do for you!
Buy a bottle! Make it a big bottle today!
In order to attain Goal 2010, perhaps Singapore can start some hydroponics vineyard or something.

singapore can have guus hiddink, pay all the players all our surplus, the best stadium in the universe with the best training facilities, but we'll still not win the world cup, ever.
we have the same disease as england. toomanyexcusilitis. a 1-0 loss against japan is considered a good result by the media that sort of thing.
buy the world cup. problem solved.
haha!
or get the gahlermen to say that we didn't win but the news report wasn't fair to us....we could have won if only all the other teams lost to us.
or we could sue them and make them bankrupt!
or impose some rules about form filling.
