Such a shame to slam our piss water beer down a country's throat that prides itself on great brew.

 Fans lose trousers to gain entry 
By Harry Peart
BBC sports correspondent, Berlin 


 
Hundreds in the crowd were in their underpants
Football's governing body has explained why up to 1,000 Dutch fans watched a World Cup tie wearing no trousers.

Around 1,000 fans arrived for the Ivory Coast tie in their traditional bright orange trousers - but bearing the logo and name of a Dutch brewery.

To protect the rights of the official beer they were denied entry, so the male fans promptly removed the trousers and watched the game in underpants.

Fifa said an attempt at an "ambush" publicity campaign was not allowed.

Fifteen major companies have paid up to $50m (?27m) each for the right to be official partners at this World Cup.

The American firm Anheuser Busch, which makes Budweiser, won the exclusive right to promote and sell its beverage in the stadiums and other venues.

There has been a wider resentment in Germany that a US brewery has the exclusive rights in a country which prides itself on the quality of its beer and has very strict laws governing its composition.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

There is alot of good stuff in there.

That Budweiser thing is a crime. If thats all thats being served at the venues, I'm amazed there hasn't been a riot over that.

Budweiser? Seriously? How the hell did that happen? Christ, water has more flavor and alcohol than Bud.
