It’s okay to like both soccer and hurling

I like to call it the chocolate cake versus apple tart debate, because that’s how I roll. I keep the metaphors on the basic side, me.

Anyway, having mentioned the World Cup – subtle, no? — I note that just as the hurling games have been soaring in quality, the goals have rather dried up in the quarter-finals, and hosts Brazil — see above — have been “agricultural”, if by “agricultural” you mean “behaviour appropriate to a threshing machine”.

Hold on. Come back. Not what you think at all.
