A bizarre incident at the (English national) team’s hotel in Sun City saw the team’s entire kit of jersey, shorts, socks and sweat suits covered in a disgusting mess after a sewage drain overflowed and flooded the storage room where the uniforms were being kept.

What has 46 legs and flies? The Three Lions!

English footballers are now both affluent and effluent.

When Tim W called the US side "septic", he set this in motion. All his fault because he made me do this with my mind.

Blimey, not sure I'm keen on the light brown kit.

If England's defense is not leaky and wasteful, they should be solid in their treatment of Algeria. Number two can be more fluid running down the right side. But if they push too hard, the passing will suffer. Expect Rooney and Gerrard to be very offensive, especially late in the match. Bent or Crouch might get a crack at some loose balls.

I quite expect Gerrard to behave incontinently towards the opposition. Lamps, on the other hand, will control his motions like a gentleman.

At least Robert Green's gloves will be tacky.

This probably wouldn't be so amusing to me if it was the US side basted in South African butt sludge.
