Europe dissapointment and Aussies playing Greeks

Salamu

There are a few accomplishments that The Lions Den accomplished prior to my last blog post which I failed to mention. I apologise profusely for this and hope to remedy this by mentioning them now. 

Firstly I must say thank you to the boys in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru for reaching 1 000 page views! 

The Lions Den is also fast approaching 1 000 page views from Canada. Hopefully they will one day come to terms with the fact that although they are cooler then America and have an abundance of my second favorite animal (the Grizzly and Kodak Bear) in their country... they will never measure up to their Southern Neighbor. There....that should push it up. Shot boys!

BTW... a significant portion of both of your nations are equally dumb in my view.  

Barbie's new merchandise will be big in Portugal.

A trending topic with me is the European Championships which is currently on the go in Poland and the Ukraine. It must be known that my least favorite football team in the world (bar none) is Portugal. They play negative football and their players worry too much about their image to win any trophy's. How Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the highest payed footballers in the world is beyond my comprehension. Against Spain him and Nani looked like they were trying to qualify for the diving event in the Olympic Games. What they did was a disgrace to the game...not football. The only man worth his salt in that team is Raul Mereles and he looks more and more like a heroine addict everyday. 

But if that is the way they want to play the game and it ends there I would not hate them. I wouldnt even give them a second thought. But the way their supporters carry on drives me insane. Ronaldo PA! what a player! Did you see him  play PA? When I still lived in JHB there was a group of Portuguese guys who went to the same gym as me and they would carry on and on about how great he is. FORDEZ!

This is why I love to see Portugal fail at anything! 

But I am not rubbing the salt in the Portugese wombs to much. This is mainly down to the fact that Lebanon will never achieve football greatness in my lifetime (but then again neither will Portugal) and my team Germany got knocked out by that arrogant shit Mario Balotelli!

I got so aggravated last night that I had to watch an action movie to cheer me up. Not that the Wrath of the Titans did that either. The movie is about Perseus who is a GREEK demigod...Son of Zeus...and Sam Worthington could not disgard his Australian accent for one movie! It is very off putting watching a movie about Greek mythology when you expect the main actor to scream "LETS PUT A SHRIMP ON THE BAAAAAAARBIE YOU RIPPER"  at any given time. 

How the dialogue of the movie would have been if Sam Worthington was director:

Zeus (Liam Neeson [who is a top class actor]): Perseus. It is I Zeus your father.
Perseus (Sam Worthington): Is that right mate?
Zeus (Liam Neeson [who is a top class actor]): You must seek out Agenor to get into Tartarus to kill Kronos or he'll destroy the world.
Persus (Sam Worthington): Can it wait old man? ESPN Classic is on and Shane Warne is about to start an over. Besides I have just lit a barbie and cleaned some tiger prawns.

CHRISTIAN BALE! CHRISTIAN BALE! MY KINGDOM FOR CHRISTIAN BALE! Why was he never asked to be Perseus?

Come and I'll show you I'm as good as any Essex Girl

The only good thing about the movie was Rosamund Pike who was very delicious. I saw her first in Die Another Day and given my weakness for blonde's I was hooked from the start. Hopefully she acts in more movies soon. 


So unsatisfied I packed a hubbly and put on Person of Interest. Finally I was becoming better with the world. Because any movie/series which has James Caviezel in it is a winner ( with the exception of: The Stoning of Soraya M which freaked me the hell out!)
