The Alternative England Football Squad



Well I don't know about you, guys, but this all-girlie line-up would have been my choice for the England squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. One thing's for sure: these cuties couldn't have done worse than the official squad that actually played in this tournament and which has now returned home covered in shame after a consistently bad performance and a final well-deserved thrashing at the hands of Germany.

These lasses certainly look the part - their socks are impeccable - and seem to be in better shape than our motley bunch of underachieving professional male players and, if push came to shove, they could have mesmerised their male opponents and scored goal after goal while the opposition was ogling their imposing physical assets. A flash of a breast here, a wiggle of a rump there, the odd come-on smile and beckoning forefinger and the other opposing players wouldn't know what hit them as another speeding beauty whammed the ball home... gooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll!!


And who could fail to root for them in their progress to the final? What masculine bosom, if not feminine, would be so unmoved as to wish for their downfall? The women spectators would egg them on to show how much better at it they were than their male counterparts and the men spectators would be cheering them for, well, somewhat other reasons. But whatever the motives, endowed with nature's bountiful attributes and enjoying the massive support of the overwhelming majority, our gorgeous girlies would have cruised home to certain victory and entered the annals of history. I can just see the headline: "England Babes Smash their Way to Victory and Wow the Football World!"


P.S. My apologies to any women who might be offended by this blatant display of male chauvinism and overt sexism. Away from the blog, I am of course a sensitive and delicate male who weeps often, has a strong feminine side, and does not espouse any of the views expressed herein.
