Football corner (i.e the bit of teapigs HQ near where teapig Nick sits and the current location of our World Cup pull out/wall chart) is alive with the chatter of footy fever. Will teapig Becky's love for Alan Shearer ever die? Never. Will teapig Juliana finally lose her voice from cheering on Brazil? We’d imagine so. And will our tea drinking game go down in history as the best ever? It’s more than likely.
So, kettles on – you have to make a cuppa every time the following happens:
A commentator mentions 1966
ITV technical error or they cut to an ad break makes us miss a goal
Adrian Chiles looks – and sounds – out of his footballing depth
Goal line technology denies a goal
Goal line technology approves a goal
A commentator says ‘they just need a goal’, ‘the wall does its job’, ‘you can never right off the Germans’ or any number of football clichés
You doze off listening to Phil Neville commentate
England score a penalty
Rio Ferdinand bases his opinion on something other than man united or a united player
A player wells up during their national anthem
A commentator mentions ‘the hand of god’
The ref gets his spray foam out
Pele footage shown during the pre match build up
Footage of a fan that’s decorated their entire house with the flag of St George
Camera zooms on Beckham in the crowd
Camera zooms in on Brazil fans in bikini’s in the crowd
Replay of Gazza crying
Reference to the John Barnes rap
