Tomboy Tirade Ep 27: World Cup Brazil Fever!

Brazil fever takes over the Tomboy Tirade pitches this week! Tara Rushton, host of Fox Sports Australia's A-League live preview show, Kick Off! and Nelson Tan, Singapore entrepreneur, actor and ex-Singapore League club, Tampines Rover's goalkeeper join Persis and Raven on this new World Cup 2014 special in Brazil. Our story begins at a match between Chile and Netherlands where far, far away in a washroom, Persis struggles with late-night irregular bowel movements, while Raven gears herself up to referee the match. As Persis' constipated situation continues, Raven gives up and heads off to the pitch, leaving Persis to wander around the stadium for a bit before spotting her guests for the week, Tara Rushton and Nelson Tan. As the match plays out on the field, at the stands, the trio dribble straight into the news highlights of the week which include England's early exit from Brazil. Everyone wonders what exactly is England's problem. Is it a bloated football scene or Steven Gerrard's inability to captain a fragmented team to victory? What does this all mean for England's future in international football competitions? Listen to find out. Then we take a bite out of Suarez's incorrigible blood-sucking tackle and take a few digs at how the World Cup stage has become an increasingly violent and aggressive competition as we throwback to some other equally infamous foul moments from World Cups past. Next, World Cup predictions are in order as everyone takes a stab at who they think will take the World Cup home this year, followed by some burning questions from the fans about the World Cup. Meanwhile Raven is dying of boredom out on the pitch. The goal-less match is putting our Tomboy Tart to sleep. As Persis turns green with envy at Raven's referee gig, she still has to mete out a World Cup quiz to Tara and Nelson before it all goes to pots when one of the players from Netherlands accidentally kicks a ball at Raven and throws her into a football coma. The whole stadium is in uproar! Persis panics as Raven, spouts gibberish while Nelson calls for the medics and Tara suggests spraying her. It's chaos as football fever officially sets in this crazy summer on Tomboy Tirade.  OUR GUESTS THIS WEEK ARE TARA RUSHTON & NELSON TAN!!! Tara Rushton is currently FOX SPORTS AUSTRALIA'S host for Kick Off, the live Australian Football League (A-League) preview show. She reports from the sidelines of the A-League as well as the European football season. This former model, actress and television host was also ex-host of Singapore's EPL show, Tiger Goals in 2012. Her passion for sports and journalism began from a young age. Tara is a sporty lassie herself and quite the athlete herself, enjoying travelling, music, reading and working out in her free time.   What can we say except that football runs through Nelson Tan's DNA (seen here in an orange jersey). This actor, entrepreneur and ex-Tampines Rovers goalie enjoys his time on the pitch which keeps him fit, active and close to his favourite sport. Nelson now runs a successful logistics business and when time permits, he takes weekends out on the pitch to lend his goalkeeping skills in friendly games. Nelson also enjoys acting and has appeared in many Singapore television shows, commercials and films.   If you liked this episode, please subscribe to us on iTunes and leave us a comment in the box below.
