Pop World Cup Match Report

Germany 2 ENGLAND 3

Germany's veteran side were undone by a crushing spell of England dominance in their round of 16 match, leaving sbp drinking from the bitter cup of elimination as zenith's army marches on. Leading at the break, England's hungry young side were put on the back foot by an immediate German equaliser, but showed massive character to come back with two goals in ten minutes. A German strike in the dying seconds of the tie proved no more than a consolation. sbp faced criticism for relying on a star-studded, but aging back four, which proved vulnerable to the raw pace and flair of the English forwards. zenith meanwhile has seen his Pop World cup campaign back on track after a shaky group stage performance, and can now look ahead to the quarter finals, where England will play either Portugal or the Ivory Coast.


"Come on zenith, put Embrace on in the quarters!"

The next Pop World Cup match is between Ecuador and Trinidad and Tobago, and will start as soon as I get the Ecuador track off of skillextric and put it up.

FIPA apologises for the delay in results, caused by a week-long summit in France thrashing out the finer details of the B-Side Rule.

Final Result

Germany - 114 points
England - 126 points

dear zenith

PLEASE don't put embrace anywhere near our lovely pop world cup...

I hope my earlier critics have got a plate ready, and put their words on it, and got out a knife and fork - I'm saying they're going to have to eat their words, do you see? - as all my choices thus far have now been vindicated by history and judged by G-d.

I would sooner field a donkey in a Mike Skinner mask than Embrace.

I am very pleased that the relatively obscure choice won out over the canonical classic, as this would be a very boring tournament if such choices were rolled out all the time.

I think the German team can reflect on a glittering career at the very highest level but a performance of that quality in 2006 was just too big an ask.

That's what you think!

Agree. "Rasputin" is one of the best songs by one of the greatest groups ever, but I gave it a 0 for the reason that Martin said.
