What I thought of Portugal during the World Cup

How many Portuguese footballers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: A full squad of 20 plus their manager


  • Five to simultaneously roll around on the ground clutching various body parts, at different ends of the pitch

  • One to flick his hair, a lot

  • One to have a legitmate grievance with lightbulbs which is ignored by the referee because his teammates are such tossers.

  • One to step over the bulb...and again... and again...

  • Four to gather around the referee trying to get the bulb sent off

  • One to wink and blow kisses at the referee after he got the bulb sent off

  • One lightbulb wizard to do... absolutely nothing really...

  • One designated bulb changer who disappears everytime the bulb comes near him

  • One to hit the ground right before he makes contact with the bulb

  • Three players who can't change a bulb but who can definitely take a penalty

  • One fat manager to throw a tantrum about the new FIFA regulation bulb

  • & one veteran winger to change the bulb as none of his teammates know how
