What Happened 2 AC?
What a way to ridicule ourselves. I wonder what people from New Zealand think of this. Using their respected tradition to advertise. Don't think they're very pleased.
Brilliant move by Nivea, though. Everyone is talking about this. Do something that nobody has ever done in football, of course you get attention. Nivea should stick their heads together and find new ways to promote themselves. Maybe do Whenever Wherever by Shakira next home game. The AC is available to be used beyond embarrassment
As the teams lined up prior to kick-off, it became clear that the people in the famous red and black jerseys were not footballers but hired clowns, who proceeded to irritate onlookers and draw scorn on to a once-admired club by performing a lamentable haka-based routine for the sake of shifting toiletries
In today’s Fiver: Milanese dignity, five things Quique learned, and Bobby M
SAN SIGH-RO
In a season in which Aston Villa have made a bid for television stardom by producing the longest blooper reel in history, it seemed impossible that the status of former European champions could be further cheapened. So there were gasps of disbelief on Thursday night, along with cringes of dismay and volleys of swear words, when Milan took the prestige earned from 117 years of achievement, including seven Big Cups, and sold it to some soap vendor in return for a pat on the head and a handful of goodie bags.
The Italian giants – failing to show due solemnity for an institution founded in the 19th century by an English lace-maker and owned for ages by an Italian sleazelord – wilfully debased themselves to the role of dancing monkeys before their Serie A match against lowly but proud Carpi at the inanimate but dignified San Siro. As the teams lined up prior to kick-off, it became clear that the people in the famous red and black jerseys were not footballers but hired clowns, who proceeded to irritate onlookers and draw scorn on to a once-admired club by performing a lamentable haka-based routine for the sake of shifting toiletries. “We completely lost any sense of what we’re supposed to be about and now gone and made worldwide fools of ourselves,” said an actor paid by The Fiver to impersonate a Milan PR gimp.
Maoris don’t take kindly to folks making fun of their sacred dance and absolutely no one should think it’s funny to behave like Matt Dawson. The American god of good taste and wisdom, Twitter, was probably quick to denounce Milan’s act of naff heresy but we’ll be flipped if we’re going to log into that world of hooey to search for a useful quote. The New Zealand Herald branded the fiasco “one of sport’s most awful – truly gut-wrenchingly awful – promotions” and that seems about right. The Fiver cannot for a moment imagine that we are ever going to see former European champions besmirch their traditions in more embarrassing fashion. A propos of nothing, on Saturday a depleted Everton defence coached by Bobby M will try to shut out Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United …

- did this dance happen just before the game?
- was it made by players or some people in acm colors?
