It’s pretty common knowledge around these parts that we’re quite fond of Karl Stefanovic and his various antics on The Today Show. Overall, he seems like a pretty good bloke.
But like any great mate, along with all the good there’s occasionally the bad. As willing as you are to show them love when things are good, you need to be equally willing to give them a swift kick up the arse whenever they stuff up.
And oh boy, Karlos may well have stuffed up good and proper earlier this morning.
Ahead of today’s crucial Cricket World Cup semi-final between Australia and India – the winner of which moves on to face New Zealand at the MCG in Sunday’s tournament final – Today lined up two groups of opposing fans to interview.
The on-field relationship between the two nations is notoriously prickly at the best of times, so Karl decided to play up to that a little by engaging in a little friendly chiding.
At least, that was probably his intention. The execution of it left a shitload to be desired.
“Who’s gonna be manning 7-Elevens today?” ????
Damn it, Karl. You’re WAY better than that weak bullshit. Come on, m8.
The flip-side here, though, is that Centrelink comeback by the Indian supporter is absolutely *100 emoji*. Smashed him/cop that/suffer in yr jocks.
The CWC Second Semi Final takes place at the Sydney Cricket Ground and starts at around 2:30pm this afternoon.
