She wants blood
And so the BBC.com headline reads: “England is ‘Easiest Match’ for U.S.” Had to be Lalas… right?
Well, actually, it was Jonathan Spector who told the BBC’s World Service that tomorrow’s tie would be “our easiest match because there is no pressure on us to win.” Ahhh context… the homepage producer’s worst nightmare.
What drove the cream of the British sporting press to such a crass number? I’ll be the first to admit, “American Defender Makes Honest, if Self-Deprecating Assessment of Saturday Match” doesn’t burn quite as bright. But since when does THE BBC resort to such Murdochian measures? If this is the plan, why not go all out and hire a Page 3 girl to fill out the match reports? McNulty’s probably knee-deep in the African bush by now.
(And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little bit of money y’know? (What movie??))
Or is it blood they want? Listen up you snaggletoothed ingrates, we had our way with those pretty little redshirted toy soldiers back in the 18th Century, showed you a thing or two about liberty and the counterattack. One would think it’d be “lesson learned” from your “lot,” but apparently not.
If that’s how you want it… Timmy has your number, now carry on and we’ll see you tomorrow.
Wait, what’s a page 3 girl? Who’s McNulty? And is the African bush he’s knee-deep in attached to an African female’s pubic region?
