England's goalscorer proves a point, while Eden's team-mates prove the real hazard
FRITE NIGHT
Congratulations to England goalscorer Danny Welbeck for his tireless work to disprove widely-held stereotypes. Turns out Belgians don't like chips that much after all.
TACHE TIME
David Beckham was at Wembley to take part in a half-time presentation to the five players who have won 100 England caps (or relatives thereof). It's not long since the V for Vendetta mask was adopted by the Occupy movement, but it looks like rather than buy one Becks opted to grow one instead. Now that is properly anti-capitalist.

Days before the 2010 World Cup England's first-choice centre-back, Rio Ferdinand, was crocked in an accidental collision with a team-mate and ruled out of the tournament. Days before Euro 2012 England's first-choice centre-back, Gary Cahill, was crocked in an accidental collision with a team-mate. It looks like the Chelsea man will be inconvenienced by nothing more than a precautionary x-ray, but still ... and besides, Joe Hart could at least have given him enough time to kick Eden Hazard a bit.
TWEET OF THE DAY
@frankieboyle: "C'mon England! Not all Scots want to see you knocked out early on. A lot of us would rather the team plane crashed into an oil refinery."
PLUS: REDKNAPP'S BEEB BOOB
Roy Hodgson's squad for the Euros may have been finalised, but what of the BBC's, and in particular Harry Redknapp? First he was going as England's manager, then he wasn't, then he was going with the BBC, and then he wasn't, with reports that he wanted 'to get a break from it all'. Sprouts sought an update from the Beeb, who replied: "We are still confirming plans and so final decisions are yet to be made." As clear as an Andy Townsend tactical analysis, that. Read More
