World Cup Fever!!

COME ON ENGLAND! (Written by someone who knows very little, literally nothing, about football)

It’s only 8 days until our first game of the World Cup!! England v. The US of A. Can we beat them? Who knows? England fever has well and truly hit. A few of us at the PriceRightHome office managed to get to the Mexico friendly last night and the fans were out in force. And Mexico were holding their own in the stadium.

Rooney was on the pitch as well as Beckham and Lampard. Fabio Cappello would have been proud of them as they booted in goal after goal. The final score was 5-4 to England making it a close run game but we managed to keep on our toes and drive the goals home. Unfortunately Rooney was red-carded for eating a ham and cheese sandwich he pulled out of his sock in the 77”. Unbeknown to Rooney eating on the Wembley pitch is frowned upon by everyone and he was booed off by the 800,000 fans watching in the stadium. This means that Rooney will miss the whole of the World Cup. It’s swings and roundabouts though as it means Ronaldo and Pele can fill his place (I’ve heard Rooney counts for 2 players as he’s so good). England fans were all over the streets singing and chanting with flags over their shoulders and hats and scarves adorning every available head and shoulder. I did a couple of interviews and found some hardcore England fans who had had their bedrooms knocked down and rebuilt in the shape of England. You don’t have to be this extreme though, some people, still waiting on their building work, are simply adorning their rooms and houses with England goodies. Which can all be bought here.

Kit your room out in the the duvets, the clocks, the posters, the rugs, nodding dogs, gnomes and absolutely loads more. Send your kid to school with the England lunch bag and let everyone know that they’re supporting England in the World Cup. I reckon we can do it this time. The one last year was a bit of a joke.

And you can buy a bit of the pitch here, trouble is, it's been quite popular and the players have only got half grass and half soil now because we keep cutting bits out to sell it. (This is not true. It is a 'Grow Your Own' pitch. We have not been stealing turf from Wembley. Come to think of it- alot of this is lies. Except the links bit, we do actually sell very good quality and official England things. Look. You'll be impressed.)
