Perhaps one of the most revolting aspects of the England campaign has been the WAGs. They are a rude intrusion on the enjoyment of the game and it seems ludicrous that they are going to be allowed to trouble our peace once more. These so called Wives and Girlfriends are nothing more than a collection of vacous people who just happen to be sleeping with rich footballers. It seems that the otherwise sober Fabio Capello has been persuaded to let them ruin the game for everyone else. Apparently there might even be some family barbeques to increase the team spirit. Hopefully they will also forget to fall out of nightclubs with faces as drunk as a skunk. I am afraid the WAGs do not do it for me. They are a notorious concoction that has intruded on the noble sport of soccer.
It would be somewhat acceptable if they behaved with even some level of decorum. However what we see is a mass exhibition of classlessness and tastelessness that would shock the gutter press. If they are not stupid, they are certainly vacuous. They spend their time shopping and taking photographs in the street with no discernible purpose. There are even those who have started imagining that they matter to anyone but their husbands.  I am honest enough to say that I would like to have some of their money but would rather they do not appear on television to disturb my enjoyment of the world cup.
Between raising unrealistic expectations and imagining that the cup is in their hands, the British press would go on a rampage searching for every little detail about the WAGs until we will all be too sick to continue. It is a pity that some people might end up not liking the cup at all or not supporting England in order to get rid of the images of the WAGs. If they have really had to go on a trip, it would be better if they slipped in quietly and slipped out quietly. Knowing some of their personalities I very much doubt that this will happen.
