In Great Pictures: Slick England Thrash USA At World Cup
BARACK Obama has declared war on England. Let there be no mistake. Achtung! Achtung! The phoney war is over. Tonight England take to the pitch to right wrongs. Sing up for England – join your chorus to the song book here.
Say “NO” to cocky GIs shagging your girlfriends.
Say “NO way, dude” to American cultural imperialism.
The papers are gung-ho for Obama’s Americans who would do us down.
The Independent says “15 million” will what the game.
The Express adds in illegal immigrants and puts the figure at “20 million”.
The Star demands: “LET’S SPANK THE YANKS.” (Although given that the Star’s sister organ is Channel X, yanks may be a euphemism for a night in.)
Put on your pith helmets. Obama’s Americans are coming. And we’re ready to shoot. Says one England footballer: “I enjoy a spit roast as much as the next love rat but at least I never drilled the Gulf of Mexico.”
Altogether: He’s fast, he’s quick, he’s like a BP slick, Aaron Lennon, Aaron Lennon…”
