*World Cup* - Post U.S.A

*We join the England lads muted after their 1-1 draw with the USA*

Capello: Come now fellas, things are not so bad, it's a nice place.....

Pearce: Er .... Boss, we have a problem.

Capello: Eh?

Pearce: Well .... It appears some of the US players made Emile angry ... and ... Well...

*Pearce raises his phone to show Capello video footage.*

................

Heskey: HESKEY SMASH!

*A car is flipped wildly in the air by Heskey, stewards armed with corner flags and vuvuzelas are trying to pen him in*

Steward 1: We're not getting paid enough for this.

Steward 2: Yes, and I have to play for Algeria on Friday.

Steward 3: How many people will this creature injure!?

*A steward runs at Heskey with a vuvezela, Heskey promptly shoves it where the sun doesn't shine, the english contingent watching cheer*

.................


Pearce: The cover story is a steward pay protest broken up by riot police. I mean you add that to our James Milner problem...

*Pearce points to Milner who is strapped to a trolley in a straight jacket wearing a facemask.*

Lennon: Is he ... OK?

*Lennon leans in to Milner who snaps biting behind the mask, Lennon pulls away*

Pearce: He'll be fine he's just got a bit of the ol' "World Cup Psychosis" happens to the best of us, all he need is to pick up a gaping head wound and miss a penalty and he'll be fine. And then of course Ledley King.

King: Oh don't worry about me, I'm fine.

Pearce: Ledley .... I don't think you'll play any further part in our World Cup.

King: What?! It's a flesh wound!

*The lads all look with concern at King*

Pearce: Ledley, they took your leg, I don't think....

King: I'll be fine, I've played with worse. Watch.

*King eyes a ball in the dressing room, staring at it intently he rises from his chair to his foot promptly collapsing like a cut tree onto his face, the gust of air created by his body hitting the ground causes the ball to wobble slightly*

King (muffled by the floor): See, good as new.

Pearce: O.....K. The last thing on my report boss is *Pearce drops to a whisper* Robert Green, perhaps you want to give him a word of encouragement?

Capello: Yes, yes of course. The man management she is my speciality yes? Robert?

*Green looks hopefully at Capello*

Green: Yes boss.

Capello: Robert I give you wisdom, at home in Italy the goalkeepers, they catch the ball when it's kicked at them, is best wat to stop it going in.

*Green nods whilst scribbling down on his notepad*

Green: ....Ball.. CATCH.... Gotcha, thanks boss.

Capello: Is no problem.
