How to win the World Cup

I didn't have access to a PC or a TV yesterday while the England v Japan match was on. I was getting sporadic updates via my phone from Twitter as to what was happening. It wasn't pretty. It always starts like this. England will probably stutter a few more times before scraping through the group stages and crashing out at the 1/4 final stage.

But I have a plan as to how England can win the World Cup. Every time. It just requires a slight amendment to the rules. Rather than basing eligibility for the English team on nationality, if it were based simply on the players who have played in the English league over the past, say 12 months, then we've got ourselves a World Cup. As well as Gerard and Rooney, we could also select Torres and Drogba. Reina in goal. Or whoever. The debate would not be whether player X is good enough to be in the team, but how on earth could Capello have decided to leave player Y at home.

There, fixed. I'm here all week.

This is a shot of a bee and a chive. Its quite good. Its the sort of shot the England team might have taken. Its never going to win a World Cup, though.
