Enough is Enough – I Have Had it With These Motherfucking Snakes on this Motherfucking Soccer Field
Published:
The World Cup begins on Thursday with Mexico hosting South Africa at the Azteca. That’s in Group A.
Switzerland is in Group B with Qatar, Canada, and Bosnia / Herzegovina, and their Southern California training base is apparently adjacent to a “snake area” –
The story from The Sun, which is a British tabloid rag:
SWITZERLAND’S World Cup stars are on red alert after being warned of SNAKES next to their training camp.
The Swiss have jetted out to San Diego to prepare for their World Cup opener against Qatar on June 13.
The team are already dealing with humid temperatures in the US as they get used to their new surroundings.
But the squad have another alarming problem to deal with after a ‘snake area’ was marked up on the map of their training camp.
The official Switzerland team account posted a picture of their facility with labels of its different sections.
There was also the dressing area that was pinpointed just behind the gym section.
But the Swiss account left some fans stunned after labelling a huge ‘snake area’ surrounding the training pitch.
They’re training at the San Diego Jewish Academy. A lot of the World Cup teams picked these large private school campuses as their home bases for the tournament. Think of Episcopal Academy out in Delco. Most of the teams found the Episcopal Academy of their particular region and booked it for the summer.
But yes, this place is showing a little rugged area off to the side of the fields, and Southern California does feature some native fauna that you have to be aware of. The good thing about the Swiss is that they are neutral, so the snakes will not attack them. They will respect their stance. It also appears as though there’s a fence surrounding the property, so the snakes can’t slither here and there, willy nilly.
If you respect the snakes’ territory, they will respect yours.
That’s why this isn’t a big deal. The soft Euros have been complaining about the World Cup for months now. The fields aren’t good enough, it’s too hot, ticket prices are too high (blame FIFA), and we’re adding “Yank Shit” to the tournament, like a halftime show. Now they have to deal with snakes at the training facility.
“I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking soccer field!“
Switzerland should call Samuel L. Jackson:
