My wife, who is fluent in Spanish, travels a lot to rural and urban Brazil for work reasons. She knows first hand that Spanish gets you not much further than ordering a beer and chips. Says English gets you further if you don't know Portuguese. Her daughter, who is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese and has lived in Brazil for a few years concurs.

But some people think ordering a beer and chips in Spanish proves that most, of the huge Brazilian population speaks Spanish. Same as people thinking that in Spain because you can order in English in holiday resorts most Spanish speak English. You soon find out that is not the case if you venture inland, even into cities.
 
Everyone speaks English. You just need to speak loudly and slowly and point a lot, then they'll understand you.
Try it next time you go abroad. Don't forget to swear at them and call them stupid foreigners.
 
2 great games. My quote was from the commentators book when Argentina do a cheeky thing or resort to kicking people off the pitch.

I first half of the Serbia v Cameroon game and thought it was a foregone conclusion Serbia would win. Was surprised to see final score.

Me too. Great to see teams actually go for it and come back into the match. Often think technically how good the Balkan nations would be if they where still one country. Clearly well in the past now.
 
Just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading the last 3 pages.

Does anyone else think this is what life will be like when we get moved on into an old people's home.

Penalty?!
**** off
Never in a month of Sundays

Justice with the save but yet again that is ****ing appalling and only given cos it was on a ‘star player’
What the **** was the keeper supposed to do

Mrs Tash just had to listen to a few minutes of foul language aimed at FIFA, VAR & modern football in general.
