World Cup contest: Win 15 pints of Guinness at Paddy O’Shea’s
Long was among those who wigged out because of the game.

My Irish friends remain angry that the French team and not their own is in the World Cup after the ‘hand of Henry’ play. My take: The organizers knew the Irish would have rolled to massive victories and destroyed not only the morale of every other team but also the future of the sport. It’s kind of like how you can’t have Karl Long, owner of Paddy O’Shea’s, on Dancing With the Stars — nothing could ever beat that. At least that’s my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking to it.
Despite the injustice, World Cup 2010 will go on and the aforementioned Long is offering readers of this blog a chance to win 15 pints of Guinness.
How to enter? Leave a comment and tell us which two teams you think will make the World Cup final and the score. Then check back next Monday to see who is the winner of the draw. (Hint: The answer is Ghana 2, Italy 1.) The deadline is 5 PM, Friday, April 16, and there is a limit of one entry per person.
Also look for Paddy O’Shea’s to offer some specials during the World Cup. Word is the bar will have a draw for six Irish Car Bomb shots every time a team scores against France, as well as three pints of Guinness for a red card and three shots of Jameson for a yellow card, again, against France. Word also has it anyone wearing a Henry jersey gets a discount on Kronenberg draft.
Long re-enacts the hand ball.

Ghana 2, Someone Else 1
The Black Stars will build on performances at FIFA U-20 and African Cup last year and bring home the hardware for the home continent. (At least, I hope they do.)
Cheers, Boyce
(My entry doesn’t count for the beer draw but wanted to get my two kuai in.)

@ Zach the Knife,
Is that supposed to be some kind of joke. Ditka would score a goal a minute, minimum.

Don’t forget your helmet.

@ fiona,
If that *did* happen, I imagine more than 15 pints of Guinness would be free at Paddy’s.
Cheers, boyce
Spain 1 – England – 2 but what do I know about sport? nothing!
Italians taking a dive: 10
Some other team: 0
If the goal was made like much bigger so the game wouldnt suck so much:
USA: At least fitty. Boo ya! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Spain 3 – Italy 1
Don’t drink Guinness so will hand them around the bar to the patrons !
Spain 3 – 2 Argentina (after extra time; 2-2 after 90 minutes)…. although Spain may have one of the hardest routes to the final ever; soft group, but really tough half of the draw after that.
England 2 (Zamora, K. Davies) – Argentina 1 (Tevez)
Ireland 2 – Spain 1
Ireland will be admitted after the French plane is mysteriously downed on the way to the World Cup. The Irish players having forgone training for sipping pints will play fearless football and sweep all before them.
Vatican: 69
Altar Boys: 0

Spain 3 – 2 Brazil.
And it will go down as the greatest final in World Cup history. You may wonder how I know this. It was brought to my attention by my Grandmother over our usual ‘Wednesday bubble and squeak night’ mentioned it…who am I to doubt her.
In case you were wondering, we had arctic roll for dessert.
England to beat Brazil 1-0 with JT heading in the winner. The citation for his subsequent OBE will read “for services to football and Anglo-French relations”.
USA 2 – Argentina 1
China beat Brazil on Penalties after extra time.(1-0)
China stroll to their first ever world cup triumph employing an unbeatable but controversial ‘Great Wall’ defence. Having controversially replaced North Korea for reasons of ‘Asianic pride’, and despite having the penetrative prowess of an anaemic eunuch, their team of chuan’r chompers beat every team on penalties. Despite having three men sent off in the final for spitting, they hold out for the shoot out to take the World Cup Orientside for the first time….
Tsingtao don’t do World Cups, but if they did, it’d probably go something like this…….
USA 1 – UK 0
Argentina to beat England 2-1 despite Maradona’s coaching followed by Diego giving an emotional TV interview where he curses Blatter while grabbing his knackers
