JOHN TERRY HEADS HIS WAY INTO THE HEARTS OF ENGLAND, ROARS THROUGH STRIFE AND ADVERSITY, FILLS OUR SOULS WITH BUTTERFLIES AND GLITTER, WHATEVS
John Terry, England captain and self-professed 'man for big games' (except that one), successfully managed to slice through enormous amounts of strife and adversity last night at Wembley.
Not only did he slice through the strife, managing not to turn up a weepy mess to the match and all, JT headed Beckham's FK into the back of the Yanks' net, scoring one for ol' Blighty and filling our hearts with butterflies, glitter and Caramilk bars along the way. In fact, we'll still be dusting glitter off ourselves as this post goes up.
Becks acknowledged hero-man Terry last night:
"We’re not surprised by JT’s performance tonight. He does it every time he wears the England shirt ... Tonight we all saw the man and the player he is. He’s one of the strongest characters I’ve seen in football."
A strong character indeed, Becks. Peeling yourself from the depths of misery to go on to captain England - England for heaven's sake! - to victory over a pretty-crap-yet-totally-hot Yank side is surely not a job for the fainted hearted 'baller.
Thanks again to everyone who joined the England/USA live-blog yesterday. Highlight of the evening: Landon not showing up. The hateration continues.
