no ,Rooney already quoted saying its the same for both teams ,remember seeing  AFCON pitches that looked very poor but its just a case of getting on with it ,no reason it will be a prob or used as an excuse .

not really true. poor pitches arent the same for both teams, theyre worse for the better teams. same with any sport. a crap playing surface makes it more of a lottery. anybody whos ever played someone they should beat easily on a crap surface in any sport knows its a right pain in the bum.

italy and england are pretty similar on paper so no obvious winner from a duff pitch, but it will make the game more about luck than skill.

Dunno - it looks like it will take spin and Swann might be persuaded out of retirement for one night.

It is medically advisable NOT to fall over on a pitch in that condition. Hopefully this fact will prevent the players from diving. I hope they've had there anti tetanaus and anti Manaus Mange vaccinations!

Woy's just hoping they don't have towwential wain. Then thewe'll be a wisk of those little fish getting on the pitch and swimming up players' winkies.

Your Majesty Sultan-you may think you are joking but in fact their are parasites in water in certain parts of the world that do just that!
Males of advanced age are more prone to this due to the slackening of the penile mussel as one gets older.

I hope this enhances the anatomical knowledge of any interested BetFairian Forumites!

Dear Dr. Slicer - No far from a joke, they were featured on Wiver Monsters the other night. One doesn't even need to have ones genitalia under the water. They even have the strength and determination to swim up a stream of urine as an eel or salmon would a waterfall.

Glad to see that interest in penile zoology is being revived.

To be fair if they played silky smooth passing game like spain it could be used as an excuse,
But its thud and blunder england, i know you have to get the excuses in early but i am inclined to think the urinary tract fishes has more creedence.

Or that an orang utan from the amazon rainforest came it put his strip on,nobody noticed till they were 3 down and roy substituted him.

Could be fireworks. An Orang utan and Rooney might fall out over whose turn it is on the tyre on a rope.

Is it possible for these creatures to swim up the stream of projectile snot? If so some of our brave lads should take a hanky.
