Pins are looking up

"We will not flag," booms the Daily Mirror, beside an intense looking Becks, wrapped in said St George's pun.

His good lady's micro-shorts and sheeny twiglet pins combo share front-page billing, as Victoria last night led England's shimmering footballers' wives and wifelets into yet another spirited battle with their trusty black Amex cards.

Only Spain and the Czech Republic's victories have been more impressive than the England players' partners at the World Cup so far, and the Mirror is proud to show off the "legs eleven" as Vickster, Coleen and Co "team up for a posh nioght on the town".

Back to the flag thing, and Mr Beckham's claim centres on a promise that England won't wilt in the heat in the Trinidad & Tobago clash, as they did in the second half against Paraguay.

The skinny-but-stunning Posh and those pins also figure heavily in the Mail, Sun and Star, with the latter spouting the 'news' that Vicky's hubby is "being besieged by blonde telly presenters". Mainly sexy Scandinavians at that.

Can't see what they see in him ourselves.
