Take, say, New Zealand v Sri Lanka at cricket. Two more pleasant, inoffensive nations you could not find, each liberally sprinkled with enjoyable talent to watch, but for the duration of a World Cup game between them I will turn one into my favourites and the other into Nazi Germany/Mordor. It's just how it is.

Zavvi emailed their entire subscribers list to tell them they won a VIP trip to the CL Final... this is going to be fun.
This is also true of gameshows.
I'm a twit
It's hilarious. So many people are ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED by what is clearly an innocent mistake. Here's one amazing quote:
√ SkintOne disgruntled fan wrote on Facebook: " I was so excited just the thought of a holiday, being a full time carer for my disabled mum, moneys always tight so last holiday I had was about 15 years ago.
√ Disabled mum
√ Full time carer
√ No holiday for 15 years
The good news is she'd be guaranteed to get on the X Factor.
I’d happily take Spurs over Ajax. Cue Harry Kane coming rushing himself back early and the team suffering the consequences.
Kane Is always shit for 4 or 5 games after coming back from injury. Spurs are probably better off with him not being an option.
He will be absolutely fuming that they've done it without him and his shaving ads.
It'll be Harry Kane and Mo Salah having a proper shit-off. Some spectacles are worth witnessing, lads.
Salah to exercise demons and deliver a monumental performance.
Belgium are shatting on us.
Robbie Savages microphone has broken so we're down to only having one commentator. Feels well Eurosport
I've switched over to the Chelsea match because Robbie Savage's mic started working.
Thats some finish from Pierre. 1-1. Out of nothing that goal
In an amazing tactical revolution, Arsenal have created a system where they don't have enough men in the middle or on the wings.
And as I was typing, in a summary of this entire season, one of our strikers has bailed us out with a not even half chance.
Not sure there's many better out there than Lacazette at getting a ball out from underneath his feet and absolutely belting it past the keeper from close range.
Ultimate shithousery from Cech, Sokratis goes down under a challenge from behind and he walks over and starts picking at the hole that Sokratis has clearly cut into his socks before the match to imply the guy went in studs up.
Kovacic is utterly dreadful.
We might as well bring Barkley on for him asap as the only way we're getting through this is with 2+ random goals.
Lacazette and Aubameyang have done more defensive work than our wingbacks.
That's a shocking tackle by Athpillykweta.
Barkley for Loftus Cheek is mental. He's like a chain smoking Theresa May.
This is just mean now. They're not even trying to attack let alone score. This keeper is crap.
Maitland-Niles managing to get him sent off after the final whistle in a match we won by 4 goals would have been peak, peak Arsenal shooting themselves in the foot
Sarri really is absolutely clueless yet they’ve somehow finished 3rd or 4th, should have won the League Cup final and could fluke through here tonight. I don’t understand
It's almost like he has the 3rd or 4th best squad in the league.
Managers are only worth 5-10 points in either direction, for a top club anyway. It's more the experience of watching the team that they can make or break. And it's in cups where you really want a good in game manager, which is Sarri's weakest area by far.
This is a lie actually, we probably *just about* have a better squad than Chelsea but they've got Kante where we've got Xhaka so that counts triple.
Or Hazard. He’s been involved in 50% of their league goals which is just stupid.
Yeah but I think Aubameyang + Lacazette is better than him and whatever cohorts they surround him with each week.
Has Sarri ever changed his formation?
Formations don't matter, this isn't FM. Chelsea, City and Liverpool all play 4-3-3 but none of them in the same way.
You're a visionary.
Only Chelsea have never swayed from changing it about a bit. Other two have.
The problem we had all season was a static midfield with no goals or threat in it. Loftus-Cheek has assisted this in the latter weeks, but even he's a bit of a cripple and not really the complete answer. I don't fully blame Sarri as he has a dreadfully-assembled squad (many of them panic buys at various points), but he hasn't ever adapted to anything, clearly doesn't like England and wants the sack.
As such, everything good we've done all year has been the result of individual brilliance going outside the dull format, usually from Hazard, but also remarkably often from Kanté and occasionally Pedro.
I wouldn't sack him, just because it's getting boring sacking people.
I don't think he wants the sack, I think his inability to speak to the press like a media controlled robot makes him come across like he's sick of it all. Whereas I think he's just a bit forthright and straight, more like a dutchman than an italian.
It might sound trivial but from observing him I think he has really been wound up by the inability to smoke on the touchline. He always looks on edge.
I quite enjoy his media work tbh, no bullshit whatsoever.
As a smoker, while I can imagine this is true I can't seem to find any pictures or video of him smoking while a game is going on. Closest I can find is him lighting up between the dressing room and the tunnel in a Juve v Napoli game. It seems to be something that's being massively overplayed by the media and let's be honest, is having absolutely no bearing on how Chelsea play.
Man that's such a tough decision for the ref, I've only seen it once but that's a goal IMO. Keeper doesn't have control of it.
That's the banker in him, probably.
Sarri always seems fucking furious and higuian is a mess.
This has been a right chore to watch. Frankfurt to hit the top corner every time
I have the radio for this and Guillem Balague thinks it was a foul, so it was definitely a goal.
I'm not sure telling the truth is a skill you learn in the world of Italian finance .
I've never been more sure of anything than I was Azpilicueta was missing that.
You think you've seen everything in football after this week and then a keeper decides not to move and saves the penalty.
So are England now Kings of Europe?
Genuinely thought for a split second that it was going to go right through his legs which would have been amazing.
Massive bottle job by the Reich there. Make sure to pick up your litter on the way out like the wholesome friendly-fun-fans you are.
