![]() Paint it Orange The Dutch lead The South Pacific to a Rousing Start, While England left in Doubt COMMENTARY | TRR STAFF ![]() (Left: Unibot is grilled by the press gallery; Right: The Netherlands challenges Spain.) The South Pacific celebrate their first win of the World Cup and what a victory! The Netherlands soars to victory with a spectacular 5-1 against Spain. The win comes as sweet revenge with Spain having defeated the Dutch during last World Cup’s finals. The win played out on The South Pacific’s Regional Message Board as members cheered and applauded each goal, waving their orange banners with pride. Kringalia, The South Pacific’s delegate told The Rejected Times that he was confident that this was the start of good things to come from The Netherlands. “It was really exciting to win by that margin,” says Kringalia, Delegate of The South Pacific, “especially against the one team that we lost to in the last World Cup final. I'm sure that we'll see another awesome victory from the Netherlands in next week's match”. The Rejected Realms didn’t fare as well unfortunately, with the English struggling to keep up with Italy on their first match of the tournament. Ultimately however, the match, 2-1 for Italy, showed a better performance from England than had been anticipated by many commentators, amateur and professional. Unibot, the Delegate of The Rejected Realms was swarmed by the press gallery after the match. “Listen – playing Italy is playing Italy,” says Unibot, glancing at a shopping list of sports clichés, “You win some, you lose some. It was always going to be a hard match. What’s key here is if the boys play like they did here, at the end of the day, Uruguay and Costa Rica better prepared ‘em selves for a helluva game”. When questioned by the press whether he had the qualifications to lead the English’s Press Relations, Unibot defended his record, citing his years as a defender as experience of “selling big expectations, occasionally winning but often disappointing everyone”. “Remember ITALIA? REMEMBER!?” says Unibot, glowing red in the face. The Rejected Realms face their next match against Uruguay on June 19th. Tomorrow, however, all eyes will be on Lazarus and their team. With Lazarus’s elections closing tomorrow, one has to wonder whether Election Day and a new Chairman will bring their team some good luck. Germany faces off against Portugal at Noon EDT at Fonte Nova Arena. |

In my head, I read/write news articles with that artificial-sounding staccato that newsreaders use - hence lots of commas. ![]() Edited by unibot, Jun 15 2014, 07:40 PM.
