Gonzo79 13,660 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 BBC? International football? Cartoons? Focus on England? I'd say it stirs my bowels more than my heart. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 eh....the comment wasn't really referring to that. Rather the advert itself 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,660 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) The BBC advert about an international football tournament, which was in cartoon format and focused mainly on England, you mean? Edited May 23, 2018 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 no, what I mean is the cleverness of the graphics, reminiscent of soviet posters extolling the achievements of industry,agriculture and workers...Then there was the music...very volga boatman in the harmonies as for the rest....I'll certainly watch it....I'd root for any UK team then any from the British Isles. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,675 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 It's an international tournament but the BBC are the British Broadcasting Corporation so I don't see a problem with them focusing their ad on the only British team appearing at the tournament. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I just hope the WC provides us with some entertaining football. HT is to stretch legs, put the kettle on, go to the fridge, take the dug oot and not to listen to the ramblings of the usual suspects about something you already know. I think back to previous WC's and think of games, not coverage although the one thing that has stuck in my mind was a tune from the BBC coverage of Italia '90.............. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the soviet aspect that stirs dear @colinstein's heart. I can see where he's coming from -- even if I'm not that way inclined -- with the music and the weaving (not cartoon, although I can't recall what it's called). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
