A boy can dream can't he? Besides, I think Arena will have the lad's heads on right after the embarrassment by Poland. At least I hope so....
See what the English tabloids had to say about this... You're too Dane ugly Ug for the cup ... the Danish team pose before a group game From NICK PARKER in Tokyo BESOTTED Japanese girl fans begged England’s soccer hunks to beat Denmark yesterday — to rid the World Cup of its UGLIEST team. Gorgeous David Beckham and the rest of Sven Goran Eriksson’s soccer pin-ups take on the foulest-looking side of the tournament in Niigata tomorrow. And babes in Tokyo’s bustling Roppongi club district last night led an international chorus of women demanding an English goal rush to send the Nordic knuckleheads home. Looking good, England ... footie fans Yumi Namatame and Chie Naitow are banking on a Denmark defeat Yumi Namatame, a 22-year-old insurance broker, said: “There is absolutely no contest when it comes to looks — England beat Denmark 11-0. “I’ll be cheering for them to win along with the rest of the girls.” Chie Naitow, a 21-year-old careers adviser, said: “Every girl in Japan loves David Beckham, but not one of us can name a single Danish player. "They might be a good team but when they look like that who cares? Get them on the next plane home.” Soccer-mad beauty Reiko Shibata, a 27-year-old television producer, said: “The England team are the best looking — even in the Japanese team they have no rivals. I think Beckham is really handsome and really cool. Looks-wise he is a god. “Michael Owen is cute too in a schoolboy way — but the Danes have nothing. We need England to win to keep Becks here as long as possible.” Becks, 27, will come face-to-face in midfield tomorrow with bald Bolton Wanderers bruiser Stig Tofting, 32. Dashing Trevor Sinclair, once a model for a fashion chain, will clash with shaven-headed Everton pitbull Thomas Gravesen, 26. Ours ... England hunk David Beckham Even some World Cup team-mates have dubbed the Danish pair The Mitchell Brothers after the balding bad boys on telly’s EastEnders. In England’s defence, Premiership heart-throb Ashley Cole, 21, and 23-year-old Rio Ferdinand will tangle with marauding Herman Munster lookalike Jesper Gronkjaer of Chelsea and slack-jawed ironman Ebbe Sand. Theirs ... Denmark's Thomas Gravesen Meanwhile hollow-eyed Dane defender Rene Henrikson, 32, will be no match for Liverpool’s Michael Owen as he leads the English attack — in terms of boyish good looks, at least. Yumi Yamase, a 24-year-old Tokyo actress, warned it would be a “crime against humanity” if Denmark won. Showing off a picture of Becks on her mobile phone screen, she said: “It would be torture if he went home and we were forced to watch the Danes. “Girls here love English games as your players are so lovely. It would be a crime against humanity if they were knocked out by those pug-ugly Danes.” Fumi Koboyashi, a 25-year-old scriptwriter, said: “England must play their hearts out for the sake of women football lovers everywhere. Because the Danes are dogs!” Even Danish fans agreed their stars were facially challenged last night. Lars Helmark, a 31-year-old air steward from Copenhagen said: “I must admit Tofting is not as good looking as Beckham. But what he lacks in looks he makes up for on the pitch. “He’s famous back home for being a former Hell’s Angel with a tattoo on his stomach saying No Fear. And I’m sure he doesn’t fear your pretty boys.” It looks no contest WHEN IT comes to fielding a teamful of totty, England are the World Cup winners by a mile. While everyone loves our gorgeous boys the Danes are anything but Great in the fanciable stakes. Some of them DO have model looks — but they look like they have come straight out of the Lego factory. Sun cartoon Viking Hagar was not called Horrible just because of his behaviour. Things haven’t got much better in the centuries since. Where we have sexy Becks, smouldering Rio and cute Michael Owen, they have Stig the Pig Tofting and pug-ugly Thomas Gravesen. The best Danish supermodel Helena Christensen and pals can hope for is these losers get lost on the way home. And home is where they will be headed tomorrow. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2002271053,00.html Damn, I really hope the Danes win.
