The milk is grand but Kelloggs package the cornflakes readymade nowadays.
Saves you acres of land, many pairs of wellies and 6 months of corn growth.

But sure what would I plant out the back then?
You'll be telling me next the milk is ready packaged too.
What's the right verb then? You make breakfast, so it sounds right that you make your cornflakes too.
Reckon this is off topic?
No.
I distinctly remember the special World Cup Subbuteo sets free with Cornflakes in 2002.
P.s. POUR
Okay, i'm finished now.
After that Argentina Serbia match, my best memories would obviously be of Ireland v Romania.

Dare I say it the World Cup Final of 1966 was a classic (the FA Cup Final that year was also a classic).
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Wasn't really. Have it on video - think it was repeated on BBC around 1996 - and it's not a great game of football. A great occasion undoubtedly, but not a great game.
Classic or great games aren't necessarilty about the quality of the football. They're about the drama and the excitement. That's why I doubt none will ever beat that game between Italy and Germany I first mentioned.

agreed or the russians in 88 or perhaps even beating spain on penos in 2002 as they had a very good sideTeams you follow don't count
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Or the Italians in 1994 , Oh wait no...
Beating a major team on its own turf is what I mean. NY was Irish that day.

...plenty to choose from and good shouts on the 1982 matches.
This for me would be up there too from 1986 - just imagine scoring a hat trick in a World Cup match and still losing! Cracking little player that Belanov
Belgium 4 3 Soviet Union
(León 1986)
One of the best games in the World Cup, the Soviets seemed capable of overcoming a Belgian side that had done little of note so far in the tournament. Two goals from the Russian striker Igor Belanov had handed the initiative to the USSR, although Belgium had scored through the little Sicilian=bred midfielder Enzo Scifo. But late in the game a long ball beat the offside trap set by the Soviet defence and the Belgium forward Jan Ceulemans only had Rinat Dassajev the goalkeeper to beat, and Ceulemans scored.
So extra time was needed, and the Belgiums were better mentally equipped, compared to the Soviets whose minds were perhaps already on the quarter-finals. Belgium scored two cheap goals, and although Belanov was able to complete his hat-trick with a late penalty, once Belgium had their foot in the quarter-finals they would not relinquish their prize.
Mon the Yoots!
Not true about the Italians the team they had in 1973 was better, beating Brazil , England and Germany and they were in the middle of an 11 .5 game run where they did not concede a goal. However by the next year's World Cup in Germany they had peaked though and were a shadow of the side from the previous year bowing out in the group stages of the World Cup. Had it been held a year earlier, Italy might well have won it. But if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
The semi-final was a much better game either side could have won it right to the end. Once Brazil went 3-1 up in the Final the result was never in doubt.

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

Indeed, THIS is how you defend a corner...
