Can I propose a “hydration” break after every goal. The reason for this is to help replenish the entire team (including it appears all the subs) who uncontrollably rush to the corner flag screaming in anger or joy (still trying to work out which) for a love in with their mates.

Reminds me of many a party in the 1960s but that another story I won’t dwell on. It’s all getting a bit ridiculous don’t you think, seems everyone has to kiss and hug everyone else and scream sweet nothings before the actual scorer preens and showboats in front of the now crazed fans.

Lol. My favourite showboating was the scorer of the 2nd goal, a worldie for Cape Verde vs the Argies, who upon scoring

- raced away, Usian Blot speed, avoiding all and sundry.

- and then clambered up the stadium and into the crowd like he has just won the Wimbledon tennis finals.

Embrace it 1970. It's Hollywood babyyy!

Wow. You were in the kitchen at parties in the 60s 1970. Impressive.
Agree about goal celebrations. Guarantee yanks insisted on it. Boring.

Not the kitchen, Ausman, but in retrospect that would have been a wiser choice!
