England World Cup Betting Scandal

Just days before England's opening match of the 2010 World Cup yet more embarrassment was placed on the England World Cup camp yesterday when it emerged that a betting scandal was taking place.

A source working closely with the team said that Wayne Bridge had been taking bets on which WAG John Terry would score with during the first week of the tournament.

Bridge fell out with then team-mate Terry whilst still at Chelsea because of the mickey-taking antics of the former England captain.

Our source reveals that, during training, Terry would encourage Bridge to run forward, knock the ball down the left wing and shout to the left-back “There you go, cross that, Bridge, when you come to it”. A number of Bridge’s colleagues felt Terry’s constant barracking was too much.

It didn’t stop when Bridge and his then girlfriend, underwear model Vanessa Perroncel (28), parted. Apparently Terry would shout out “Look out, low Bridge” and sing the song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Waters’ as the troubled left-back turned up for England training.

It now appears that Bridge is getting his own back.

For those who want to know Abigail Clancy (24), the girlfriend of Peter Crouch is the red hot favourite according to our source.

Bomb scare at England training camp!

Fears rose today over the safety of our players at the England training camp in Austria.

Just a couple of weeks away from the World Cup, our dreams could have been shattered forever. During a training session today in the high altitude of the Austrian Alps.

David James and Peter Crouch both collapsed during a challenge on the goal line during a friendly match arranged between the 30 man squad by Fabio Capello the Manager, Coach, and Director of Football.

The England Medical team rushed to the incident and found both players struggling to breathe, oxygen was used to revive the players, and Capello called off the training session immediately and ordered an instant inquiry.

It was found that when Crouch and James landed after the challenge, it set off an old World War Two gas bomb that was buried just centimetres below the turf just inside the six yard box.

An expert said if it had fully detonated the whole town and surrounding countryside would have been poisoned with mustard gas, endangering life and wildlife to extinction in this particular area, which would have cover approximately three hundred square miles.

There are reports already coming from Hollywood about making this story into a film, with The Great Escape 2 suspected to be the title. Some reports say that MGM have already signed up David Beckham and Gareth Barry to play themselves, other reports believe Ossie Ardiles may come out of retirement to play small part in the production.

The England camp have now moved to safer grounds in Poland.
