You don't want to miss this.
Now that we're through watching Monkey-boy scramble a goal, and Skippy completely lose his s**t because he finally netted a penalty under pressure, thereby ensuring that UEFA's premium spectacle didn't again get decided on penalties, my mind has turned completely to the World Cup coming up. I was looking to see if Baddiel and Skinner or Alan Davies might be set to record some podcasts through the event when I found the Bugle's Andy Zaltzman's WC Group guides. Here's a taste of his analysis of Cameroon from Group A and his recollection of one of my favorite memories from any World Cup. "In the dying minutes of their opening match against reigning champions Argentina, as they defended a 1-0 lead, Benjamin Massing executed one of the great World Cup fouls, launching himself at Claudio Caniggia like a combination of an Exocet missile, JPR Williams and a hungry lion taking down an extremely tasty-looking zebra. He missed the ball by approximately 25 yards. Caniggia went into orbit. Boot dislodged, danger averted, mission accomplished. If any football foul has been a work of art, this was it. The referee was so impressed that he showed Massing a red card. And then a yellow card. Suggesting that the foul was worth one-and-a-half sendings off. A conservative estimate."
