Let’s all strive to keep politics out of sport. And by ‘sport’, I mean football. They simply don’t go together. One is a bunch of misguided fools running round like headless chickens kicking anything that gets in their way, and the other is football. Thus we must always strive to keep sport pure of the evils that politicians perpetrate on behalf of their citizens. The Nigerians that played in the dullest of 0-0 draws last night against Iran were NOT the ones who kidnapped 250 schoolgirls for having the audacity to go to school, these were different Nigerians. Peaceful ones who may even believe in education, even if they tend to act like they’re totally unfamiliar with the word, let alone the concept. And these weren’t the Nigerians who sent me all those lovely emails offering me millions of dollars if I’d ‘just’ help them defraud their own government.

And playing Iran. The most evil nation in the world. Until yesterday when they suddenly became friends of America, possibly allies and almost bed-fellows in the new war against Iraqi bad stuff. Like the Sunni militia steaming in from Syria murdering, killing, raping and pillaging for all they’re worth and its not looking too good over there. Again. So just to clarify: America long ago funded and armed Iraq to fight the enemy that was Iran. Then, having armed them to the teeth, Sadam Hussain was deemed a terrible man and so the Americans went in to depose the tyrant they had themselves created. Leaving Iran a very dangerous place where they’re desperately trying to make nuclear armaments. Until yesterday when they became ‘the lesser of evils’ and have been conscripted by their enemies (now ‘friends’) the Americans to combat the new terror in Iraq. Ya got that? Easy.

Then there’s Germany. Massively victorious against stupid, stupid, stupid Portugal. Or stupid Pepe. Who hasn’t realised, despite all his red cards for Real Madrid, that head-butting a player, even gently, softly, almost nicely, will probably, in many instances, get you sent off. Tosser. The match was watched by Angela Merkel who became a bit more Angela Smirkel with each German goal.

And then there’s England. Nothing political there. Just desperation. And ‘must win’ games. Thursday. Uruguay. Do we keep Rooney? Due to the flack the tubby little striker has been taking, loyal wife Colleen has upped sticks and with the 2 kids, her parents, and just a meager 15 suitcases, has moved over to Brazil for the next weeks. I hope the suitcases are filled with books about how to score lots of goals. But somehow doubt it. Just a loyal wife and her summer wardrobe. I’m comin’ Wayne!!!!!

Nothing political about the Rooneys.

Happy tuesday
