Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 17, 2021

Os brasileiros são futebolistas sérios (Brazilians are serious soccer/football players).

I want a purple striped scarf.

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s joy at their getting a high scoring Brazilian player were dashed when he learned that they were all auto goals :o)having no ideas about football I thought that a Brazilian was a shaving technique :oP , my avatar is the American Dennis the Menace embararassing his dad , his mum looks miffed , come avete passato il vostro Sabato mio meno vecchio amicho , our Saturday should be a little busy but we should cope I hope , I already have done a little shopping , we are both in a good mood , have no errands to run or expecting any visits from my sons so we’ll stay in from the infernal heat and drink lots of chilled bottled water in cool parts of the house keep safe and a bientot pal

Maybe it was just an English player who had a Brazilian?

But there’s no such team as Hartlepool City.

Is that how Italy won?

A good part of Brazil is below the Equator. Could moving North of Equator mixed up which direction he was supposed to kick the ball? :-)

That’s Football Lads !

I can’t stand those things that the fans make noise with. I can’t think of what they are called, but it sounds like a million bees buzzing.

Show ‘im ’ow it’s done, Andy!

Andy going via a turnstile? Normally he climbs over the wall to avoid paying

DEJA VU

Google translate does not recognize Hartpoolian

own goals?

Don’t or will not understand anything about soccer.

I believe – so are us Americans (or colonists as referred by the Brits who equally tense as well!)

Someone’s making a killing on striped scarves.

A reminder appeared on my FB Memories page the other day: 3 years and 2 days ago, Mario Mandžukić (Croatia) scored an Own Goal at the 18’ mark against (for?) France. That was the first time an Own Goal was scored in a World Cup Final (it’d been done 52 times at different levels of World Cup play)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_own_goals

Do we really need a sub? Especially when Capp showed up? And rjm?

Not as good as advertised, I guess.

I’m surprised they didn’t riot.
