Podcast: World Cup 2010 Group E Preview: “In Summation: Vote Roger Milla”

April 16th, 2010 | by: Daryl |

milla It’s Friday, so it must be World Cup preview podcast time again. This week it’s the turn of Group E, which features the talents of Cameroon, Denmark, Japan and the Netherlands (and apparently Holland too). Your four co-hosts debate the merits of each team in various categories (some serious: Best Coach, some not so much: Best Celebrity Spokesperson) and then add up the points to see which two teams go through.

This fifth episode of the Total Football Soccer Show’s World Cup previews was originally broadcast Thursday, April 15th on WRIR 97.3, and is now available as a podcast. Questions raised include: Did Sam Allardyce longball Hidetoshi Nakata into retirement? Why doesn’t Barack Obama phone Brian McBride? And how much would it suck to be Brian Laudrup?

So… Cameroon, Denmark, Japan and the Netherlands. Which two of these these four fine football teams will make the grade? I can’t tell you. Partially because I can’t remember, but mostly because I want you to listen to the podcast and find out that way.

Actually, the Dutch national team nickname is:

“Ons Oranje” (Our Orange)

and not

“De Oranje” (The Orange).

Or just:

“Oranje”

Orange rules!

That sort of thing.

The players = Orangelions (”Oranjeleeuwen”, one word)
The team = Orange, Our Orange, or Orange eleven
Orange rules! = “Oranje boven!” in reference to our Royal family’s name.
Orange Clockwork = a very nasty and dirty British movie :P or a reference to Dutch Total Football executed in perfection (but I doubt you’ll find any Orangefans in Holland using that expression :) )
