<< Griffey Has Choice: All-Star Game or Vacation with Adam Dunn | Main | Rule, Britannia! >>
Woe, BritanniaDavid Beckham and Ashley Cole didn't practise in England's 90-minute session at the Mittelberg training camp yesterday. Luckily, their maladies aren't particularly serious - Beckham is out with an ankle knock while Cole has a thigh strain. As such, Sven held them to light activity and physical therapy as a mere precaution. Having said that, with Wayne Rooney's metatarsal still under review and our World Cup match just 3 days away, I'm not really in the mood for these "let's hang out in our knickers and be sassy" shenanigans.    At any other time in the year, this is perfectly acceptable behavior. In fact, I'd have trouble not showing my full appreciation with a few inappropriate comments about how I wouldn't mind personal entry to the tent. But it IS World Cup time and instead of leading our men through training (or at least being nearby for support and encouragement), Beckham is 100 meters away being naked and pensive and sexy with this "Beckham. David Beckahm" look on his face. To make matters worse, he and Cole have leg injuries; why their shirts are off is beyond me. This display does nothing to quell my fears that England is about to go down in flames. Update - I've given myself time to mull this one over and have decided that no matter what Becks and Cole are up to, it is perfectly acceptable. I have faith in my men and our Captain and if they need to rehab half naked in a tent while their teammates practice so that they're better able to shine in the coming weeks, that's fine with me....... Was that last part believable? Fuck :-(  Posted at June 7, 2006 8:19 AM Permalink • Filed under: Football (Soccer) , Sex |

I think you're letting your hormonal inclinations get the better of you here. lol These two guys look like metrosexuals having a post-coital(impossible as it may be) moment together, not the keepers of football(soccer) hopes and dreams. Good luck to you and your fellow fans...with guys like these championing your cause, I have a feeling you'll need it. :)

You can get as mad as you want babe but since I don't give a shit about England, I'm going to take some time out this morning and really enjoy these pictures :)

These pictures sure ask alot more questions than they answer for England...
Is this team training in Baden Baden or in Ibiza?
Are these injuries as minor as the doctors make it seem?
Did Wayne Rooney walk over a minute later to label Becks a "Castillian Poof"?
What happened between Becks and Ashley deep in the bowels of the Freidricksbad earlier that day to give Becks that freshly pitched tent feeling?
Why does the British press give us male cheescake shots like this, but not those of Peter Coruch's topless robot when he entered the tent a minute later?
I hate to bring these up, but these are all legitimate questions that Sven must answer before taking on the Paraguyans.

That wasn't remotely believable. Try again.

I'm sure all that stuff can be explained you guys. It's probably hot in that tent so they had to take their shirts off. And somethin was probably funny outside, so they had to stand close to talk about it so people wouldn't hear them laughing (they're supposed to be serious. It's the world cup!). And they had to be discreet, which forced them to look at each other in that flirty way. And then that caused Cole to start grabbin at his dick.
Wait, that took a wrong turn somewhere.
