Two days before a major qualifying game, the scumbag British (tabloid) press once again throw a spanner in the works. Before the world cup it was the John Terry/Wayne Bridge and Ashley Cole stories, and over the last few weeks they have gone after Peter Crouch. These stories only serve to destabilise the England team.
I think we can safely say that footballers don't think with their heads, and being filthy rich, famous and in their 20s are quite likely to get themselves in trouble, as are most blokes(and women) in their 20s. The difference being, is that when Joe Bloggs gets lucky on Friday night, he doesn't find himself on the front cover of the sunday papers.
A question we need to ask, is are these newspapers purposefully trying to unsettle the English (football) Team? Why do these stories emerge when England are due to play?
As well as not buying the papers that print this crap, surely the time has come to say and legislate that footballers' private lives are private, and it serves no (public) purpose to invade that privacy.
