Rio Ferdinand Blames the WAGs for England Failing in Euro ‘08
This is an outrage I tell you! Ferdinand blaming the (mostly) lovely WAGs for England being rubbish at football, well I guess they may have been a slight distraction!
England footballer Rio Ferdinand has described Euro ‘08 as as a circus because the WAGs attended.
Ferdinand says: ‘If I’m honest, we became a bit of a circus in terms of the whole WAG situation.’
‘We got caught up in the whole thing. It seemed like there was a big show around the whole England squad. It was like watching a theatre unfolding and football almost became a secondary element to the main event.’
He continues: ‘People were worrying more about what people were wearing and where they were going, rather than the England football team. That then transposed itself into the team.’
‘I’m not telling the other players what to do. But I just think that, as a squad, we were a bit too open.’
‘Not just the WAGs, but the families, us being so close to you guys, the whole paparazzi situation. It was just a bit too close and it wasn’t really separated from the football.’
So it wouldn’t have anything to do with the England team being poor performers would it Rio?!
