...and to read screaming headlines about the state of English football. Last week must have been from editorial heaven for the press hounds in England, what with:
- The FA surprisingly offering the England manager job to Luis Scolari of Brazil, only to be famously turned down by the non-English speaking manager. He actually cited the English press and the constant intrusions as one of the major reasons for rejecting the offer.
- Chelsea winning the Premier League twice in succession, only for their unbelievable manager to throw two medals (the original and a replacement one) right into the stands during the victory ceremony, and then going on to announce that Chelsea was the worst club in the world to manage! Only Mourinho can do this, and are the English journos loving it or what?
- Rooney going ahead and doing what every single English football fan was dreading for the last 6 months - getting himself injured with 6 weeks to go for the first World Cup in many years where England had a decent chance. Without Rooney however, it could only be one thing - Disaster - as Gerrard put it mildly.
It's all happening in England right now, and the World Cup has not even started.
