They Think It's All Shite . . . It Is Now!: An Alternative Guide to the World Cup - Softcover

They Think It's All Shite . . . It Is Now features facts and trivia that satirize the institution of the World Cup - memorable cheats and failures, spectacular losses, match-fixing, scandals, tournament-related deaths and, importantly, the worst opening ceremonies of all time. It also includes an A-Z section on the ups and downs of the competition, detailing the most brutal players, the most dubious decisions and the most rampant managers (Sven, your card is marked). For those of you who can't wait for Germany 2006, here are some useful phrases: At the end of the day - letsten Endes; A game of two halves - ein Spiel von zwei Halben; Sick as a parrot - kotzubel sein; Over the moon - uberglucklich; Who's the bastard in the black? - wer ist der Schei'kerl, den Schwarz gekleidet ist? Same old Germans, always cheating - die Deutschen mogeln wie ublich; You're not singing anymore - ihr singt nicht mehr.
