I panda to nobody
This is your chance to predict which of the usual cliches any given commentator might say at the world cup. I'll start.
"You can never write off the Germans"
 


Barkley, how long can Everton hang on to him you wonder?

"Jagielka takes control of the loose ball, plays it to Johnson, Johnson strides forward with a lovely ball into the path of Barkley! BARKLEY, ADVANCES FORWARD, ROSS BARKLEY! PLAYS IT TO ROONEY, Rooney with a pass to Llalana"
 

They word things a lot nicer these days, but the underlying messages are always the same:

Africans have no discipline at the back but are endearingly enthusiastic.

The Italians are all 40.

The English are brave and well-drilled in defence, except for Glen Johnson, who looks like he's got a bit of African in him.

Penalty shoot-outs are unfair.

South American managers are 'cool customers', whereas the players are either lunatic cut-throats or effeminate cheats.

The tournament is a benevolent gift to the host nation's peasants.
