Pop World Cup Update

Managerial Swap: [livejournal.com profile] alexmacpherson will be taking the reins of the USA team, while [livejournal.com profile] dorsalstop will be in the dugout for Tunisia. A source close to the USA camp claimed that [livejournal.com profile] dorsalstop had felt under too much pressure to produce results for the championship favourites, but the Tunisians are delighted with their managerial capture. "[livejournal.com profile] alexmacpherson seemed more interested in tennis than in Tunisia," said one player, "He never turned up to training sessions. [livejournal.com profile] dorsalstop has a much better understanding of the way we play."

"[livejournal.com profile] alexmacpherson is exactly the kind of manager we need," claimed a USA spokesman, "He shares our hunger for silverplatinumware and I'm confident he'll lead us to Pop World Cup glory."

The Pop World Cup kicks off next Wednesday.

Haha, excellent :-)
It's true of course, about the pressure of the favourites.
But also important was the spa resort in Monastir the Tunisians cleared out for me and my squad. Much better than that shabby motel in Illinois.

Rigorous selection trials now taking place. Watch this space.

Shabby motel in Illinois? They've upgraded me to PARIS HILTON'S MANSION with Justin and Usher as my personal slaves servants. The lady herself may or may not be in training for certain events.
