"Come on England, Come on England"



Tricky game in the 30c heat today for England, we expect them to get through against Ecuador, but only just and it could be painful to watch.

Sven-Goran Eriksson is on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' and has reached the big £1 million question. Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this is for a cool £1 million, and remember, you still have two lifelines left, so please take your time."

Here's your question: What type of animal lives in a Set?

"Is it. a, a badger b, a ferret c, a mole or d, a cuckoo?"

Sven ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too sure. I'll have to go 50-50."

"Right, Sven, let's take away two wrong answers and see what you're left with.'Badger' and 'Cuckoo' are the two remaining answers."

Sven has a long think, then scratches his head and says, "No, Chris, I'm still not sure, I'm going to have to phone a friend."

So who are you going to call, Sven?" says Chris.

"Hmmm, I think I'll call David Beckham."

So Tarrant phones David Beckham. "David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. I've got Sven-Goran Eriksson here, and with your help he could win £1 million. The next voice you hear will be Sven's."

"Hello David" says Sven. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives in a set? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?"

"It's a badger, boss." says Becks without hesitation.

"You sure, son?" says Sven. "Definitely, boss. One hundred percent. It's a badger. Definitely."

"Right, Chris," says Sven, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger.

"Final answer, Sven?"

"Final answer, Chris."

"That's the correct answer. You've won £1million!" Cue wild celebrations.

Next morning at training, Sven calls Beckham across. "Son, that was brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a call, but you played a blinder! But how the heck did you know that a badger lives in a sett?"

"Oh I didn't, boss..." replies Beckham,"... But everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a clock!" (",)

Next up is Portugal v Netherlands and the vote goes to Portugal to win this by two clear goals, predicted result 2-0 or 3-1 to Portugal (",)
