Come on England!

The day has come - as if you haven't noticed - the World Cup is here. And the tabloids are loving it.

The Sun splashes the score, "England 1, Scotland 0" on the front page, explaining that Sven has given Fergie a "roasting over Roo...HE’LL decide when Wayne Rooney plays in the World Cup, NOT the Man Utd boss."

Be told, Fergie. Be told.

Meanwhile, even the Daily Mail is being swept up in footie fever.

But, predictably, the rag decides to put a more serious slant on proceedings, by labelling David Beckham's Paraguayan counterpart, Jose Montiel, “The poor man’s Becks”.

The 18-year-old sensation earns a measly Ł121 a week, compared to Beckham’s massive Ł116,000, and nearly gave up his football career because he couldn’t afford the 22p bus fare to training.

Compare this to David’s diamond-encrusted lifestyle, and it does make you think.

Not for long, though, when you flick to the Daily Star and its report on super-Becks’ press conference yesterday.

"El Becko is kingo of lingo...That's right, innit Princess?" mocks the paper, reporting that the footie fella gave a “super-smooth press conference in two languages yesterday,” drawing “gasps of admiration” for his ability to change between English and Spanish.

Let's hope Becks can draw similar gasps with his fancy footwork over the coming month.
