The Friday Question World Cup Winner
Well it’s over, the annoying buzz of the vuvuzela fades into memory and it’s time for some of us to start looking forward to the 2012 European Cup. I’ve got to say, it’s a shame that the tournament finished with the final …. one of the poorest games that I watched. Sub par officiating and the Spanish predilection for diving and amateur dramatics really killed the game. The previous day’s game between Germany and Uruguay was infinitely more entertaining. Kudos to Paul the Octopus though, for correctly predicting the outcome of several games (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/africa/10569977.stm). Good job he wasn’t entering the Friday Question, he would have cleaned up! In last Friday’s Question I asked for the scoreline and goalscorer(s) of the final game. Peter came closest, getting the correct scoreline but wrong scorer and as such is deemed the winner and gets a growler of Bulldog Bitter, souvenir pint glasses and t-shirt, congratulations sir. You may recall that the winners of the Friday Questions posted throughout the World Cup were also entered into a random draw to win a team jersey …. cue drum roll as we perform the draw (the old numbered bottle caps in a bag scenario)…. and the winner is …
Dominic Cantalupo, come on down.
You get to choose a team jersey and, as long as it’s easily available, it shall be yours … cool, eh?
I hope that those of you who watched games at the Ale House enjoyed the Bulldog Bitter brewed especially for the tournament. We’ll be keeping it on tap for the rest of the month because, as I’m sure you’re already aware, we’ll be celebrating the forthcoming footie extravaganza that is Manchester City vs Inter Milan at M&T Bank Stadium on July 31st (http://www.baltimoreravens.com/Gameday/Tickets/Special_Events.aspx). Make the Pratt Street Ale House your pre- and post-game headquarters, we’ll have specials all day (details coming soon).
Cheers
Steve
