Pre Game

June 19 - 2008

While you’re stuck at work, Portugal will be battling Germany in what could be a very entertaining match. And if you’re TiVoing it, you have until 3pm before that douchebag co-worker who doesn’t even like soccer says “How ’bout that Portugal game!” and drops the score on you.

Oh well. Here are some videos to get your mind off it:

• The ITV crew squeezes every last pun from this Van der Faart clip, so I’ll just let them do their thing.
• West Brom holds a skill-off, with fairly pedestrian results…until Joss Labadie simulates giving birth in stirrups.
• The Coke spots running abroad during the Euros tap into, apparently, the deep-seated fears of men. Most involve gayness, bodily harm, or some combination of the two. Plus they’re terrible. Really though: where’s the pregnant girlfriend?
