there’s nothing like a good dose of 1954 feeling to squelch the disappointment and sadness

letter of disappointed complaint to cristiano ronaldo

dear cristiano,
i am totally disappointed. i was betting on you to become top scorer of the world cup. and what have i got to show for it? one measly goal. agreed, it was a pretty nice one, but one is not enough! not nearly and you know it! and that’s not all. i am so appalled at you. you behave like a petulant child. instead of living up to your abilities, you make mistake after mistake, pout and sulk and strut around the field as if mummy forgot to give you your chocolate sandwich for breakfast. that will not do! i am sad and crestfallen and daunted. i feel, i can never bet on anything as fickle as you again. i believed in you and i had to pay dearly for that – a total loss of face, now leading to a loss of faith – faith in you, in football and in my ability to judge.
i hope you feel as shameful as you ought to.
sincerely, carola

but you’re still brilliant at other stuff – looky here now – that’s the doctor and see, what he’s doing, playing football, that’s right – put him on the team and i’ll cheer for you next time and then … maybe … you might have a chance to win

inspired by Jane Austen Today!

my very own team austen for the world cup

coach:

colonel brandon – steady and reliable, able to soothe-talk and having been there and seen it all, he can relate to his team

goalkeeper:

edward ferrars – trustworthy and devoted, a safe choice to guard the goal

defense:

captain frederick wentworth – a true fighter, if sometimes a little flighty, when it comes to women

george knightley – reliable, strong and never fails to know how to go about his business

charles musgrove – good-natured and a good sport – a pleasure to have on the team

midfield:

fitzwilliam darcy – intense, powerful and strong, he’d be team captain, controlling the game and dashing about to safe the win

henry tilney – the creative mastermind behind team austen’s brilliant attacks on field – comic relief for the team off field

edmund bertram – considerate, strong-principled, protective – he’ll never let the ball get through

forward:

frank churchill – his hair, it’s all about his hair – otherwise a smooth and nifty player, who’ll be able to score with some creativity

john willoughby – dazzling style, he’d be the cristiano ronaldo of team austen – and scoring goals in no time

george wickham – brilliant player, unfortunately on and off the field and sometimes quite a bit frivolous – girls, beware of this one

henry crawford – likes a good game, constant and strong, if only he puts his mind to it

on the bench:

charles bingley – pretty boy of the team, will never be able to play a whole game, easily persuaded, but quite good, when he’s in form

mr. rushworth – absolutely eager player, which compensates a bit for his lack of talent

john thorpe – very much like a bulldozer – beware of his fouling techniques

william collins – last choice, when everyone else is injured or blocked – a terrible moaner and very stiff on the field – he’s only on the team because of his patroness, lady catherine de bourgh

team song:

we can do it again, just like 1990

ps: be glad, if you don’t understand a thing they’re singing – dr seuss is less nonsensical than that

ps II: i love jürgen klinsmann, when he’s singing – it’s adorable!
