Garfield Gazed into the future to find out the
extent of England's World Cup campaign, and was lucky enough to catch a
glimpse of the morning's paper.
GERMANY: England's
World Cup dream is over after bowing out in yet another penalty shootout,
this time to defending champions Brazil. Both Rio Ferdinand and David
Beckham failed to convert from the spot, while Ronaldinho fired home the
winner and secured the Samba stars a place in the final. The Three Lions
battled courageously for most of the game with only nine players, after
Gary and Phil Neville were both sent off for having a father called
Neville Neville. England's teenage sensation Theo Walcott threatened to
grow facial hair throughout the game, while Sol Campbell went missing...
England then received a killer blow when keeper Paul Robinson
sustained an eye injury when Ronaldo came through with chilli sauce
(believed to have been from his pre-match kebab). The Spurs man couldn't
continue and David James was called into action - much to the delight of
the English fans. Sven then made a master tactical move... by keeping
things the same, but it was all too late and England fans could only
reflect on yet another reason to hate Germans.
FERDINAND FACES LIFE BAN
GERMANY: Defender Rio
Ferdinand could be banned from football for life after failing to provide
a urine specimen after England's semi-final defeat. The Manchester Uniter
star was one of three England players selected to take the test but failed
to turn up. But Ferdinand claims he DID produce a specimen and left to go
for a drink after being told everything was okay.
'After the
game I walked into a busy room with people playing darts and listening to
music, and was handed a glass already half-full, because I'm an optimist,
and pissed into it. The bloke behind the counter started yelling something
in German, so I left.' Ferdinand said he then made his way back to where
he left his team-mates, only to discover they'd gone, but had left two
pints already poured for him. 'I was able to down both pints within
seconds because they were as weak as piss. These Germans are pussys.' FIFA
were fuming with Ferdinand's comments, saying he was 'taking the piss.'
GO WITH THE FRO
ENGLAND: He may
have lost us the World Cup, but that hasn't stopped fans from adopting
England captain and style guru David Beckham's latest hairdo: the 'Fro
Back. Barbers have been inundated with requests for the full-bodied Afro
cut. 'I had a 60-year-old pensioner come in tha salon last week and
instead of her usual blue-rinse special, she demanded the 'Fro Back,' said
Chantel Price of Glitz and Pricks salon in Romford.
Sixteen-year-old Leroy Briggs, of Watford, was given the 'Fro Back
before the semi-final but says he's keeping it despite looking like a
complete prick. 'My mates say I look like a right wanker, but they're just
jealous. If Becks can carry it off then so can I.'
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE
ENGLAND: Crocked striker
Wayne Rooney has finally been declared fit to play by boss Alex Ferguson,
a day after England were knocked out of the tournament.
