8 - 8 - 4

The Daily Mirror

" Yesterday David Cameron announced at the G8 summit in Canada he wanted troops in Afghanistan home by 2015. Starting with those troops sent to South Africa, who are there to ensure the safety of the football team for the duration of the World Cup, who will be returning first.
Mr Cameron also announced the safety plan for the players throughout the games; there will be a bodyguard on the pitch, next to every player, during every game. This is expected to be initiated in tomorrow's game versus Germany.
It is expected Prince Harry will be shadowing England's right-back, Glen Johnson.

FIFA, The International Federation of Association Football, have allowed the move due to 'the extreme circumstances' and understand the national call for security, after the animal attacks at the last game.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium was eventually cleared of animal carcasses, but the stadium was originally deemed unusable after the repair cost was estimated at £5 million pounds, an amount of money unavailable to the South African Government. However the U.M.A offered to pay the sum so games can continue.
The conglomerate has also offered to pay for the flights, the hotels and for the food of the British troops stationed in Port Elizabeth. An offer accepted by The Government, who, with the budget cuts, would find it financially difficult to send the troops otherwise.

Fabio Capello was eventually found, unharmed, cowering in a locker. His injuries were only psychological, and it appears the incident has made him ever more sure that 'if we can beat Mother Nature; we can beat the Germans!'. "
