Long known for not being the brightest paint in the palette, Wayne Rooney has expressed surprise that England fans, who’ve spent their hard-earned cash in the middle of a recession to fly to South Africa to support their national team, booed them off the pitch, following a woeful display in the 0-0 draw against Algeria.
With pressure piling up on Fabio Capello, the manager has succumbed to the demands of 50% of the population and has stated that he will invoke FIFA rule #23667 sub section C, paragraph seven, which states: “Should any team be so shit that they are unlikely to make it through the group stages, the manager reserves the right to replace any member of the squad with the God-like countenance of David Beckham, playing topless in the final group game, in order to make it worthwhile watching.”
Any thoughts of FIFA trying to overrule this were quickly dispelled when Sepp Blatter stated that he too, would rather watch David Beckham play topless and would try to swing it so he could appear for Switzerland too. When it was pointed out that Switzerland were in a much stronger position than England, he looked completely astounded.
