Light beer?

You can't be a true man of Britian. You just can't! :sad:

Berlin stadium announcer sacked, after pro-Germany announcements.

Berlin's Olympic Stadium announcer has been replaced after encouraging Germany in their quarter-final with Argentina.

His exhortation to the home crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, our team needs our support" was contrary to Fifa neutrality rules for announcers.

A spokesman for the organising committee said: "He will no longer have the microphone at the stadium.

"He's been announcer at the stadium for years, but he was very excited because it was a special match."

Fifa spokesman Markus Siegler confirmed that rules dictated that stadium announcers must not show any bias towards teams.

Siegler said: "We have said he must stop this. This part and parcel of the principle of fairness and this cannot be accepted.

"The local organising committee has replaced him with immediate effect."

Well he's certainly brilliant. Hate to be near him if his lack of control extends to other areas of his anatomy

It'd probably be the only way that Canada would get a representative in this (assuming they accepted the T&C's offer to join confederation)
