Gary Lineker and co on BBC were speculating as to what the England players would be doing while the USA were drawing against Slovenia.
Or is 2-2 a win in Good Old US of A too?
Anyway, they came up with 'watching the match' and 'eating'.
So, being me, I thought i'd take that thought one step further, and use some creative licence.
First up, as everyone else seems to have forgotten all about his existence, its Michael Dawson!
'Daws' as he is affectionately known by his Spurs team mates (imaginative lot footballers aren't they?!) is probably banging his head against a brick wall having heard that now that Ledley King is injured (big surprise!) Capello has Jamie Carragher and Matthew Upson to choose from.
Carragher is working on his next autobiography, entitled "I take it all back, Liverpool are crap and I love England!"
Upson and Heskey are sacrificing something, possibly Theo Walcott, to whichever dark God they made a deal with to be included in the inital 30, let alone get on the bloody plane!
John Terry.. well nobody's seen John for few hours, after he muttered something about 'checking out the local scenery'...
Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch figured they wouldn't be needed and have actually left the country. They listened to the advice about only keeping small amounts of money on their personage and are now busking in a little and large act somewhere.
Wayne Rooney is either tucked up in bed sucking his thumb, or fighting the lion he 'borrowed' from the safari because 'Stevie G' thought it would be a laugh.
Gerrard is staying the hell out of Rooney's room, and yelling in Scouse occasionally about 'getting rid Wazza!"
Gareth Barry is very quiet and wondering if this would be a good time to mention that he has a very specific phobia of the Jabulani Ball.
Shaun Wright Philips and Aaron Lennon are playing tag, but on opposite sides of the room and can't work out why nobody has won in a while.
James Milner is being nursed back to health by new dad Joe Cole, who for some reason keeps asking him if he wants his bottle yet?
Ashley Cole disappeared to the bathroom with his phone at precisely 3pm, saying he had 'an important call to make'.
Glen Johnson is re-reading every newspaper which gave him man of the match v USA, and hiding them from Frank Lampard...
Rob Green has been given lines as punishment for Saturday and is frantically trying not to drop his pen.
David James is hard at work on a painting entitled 'all at sea' featuring a green circle which appears to be sinking.
Joe Hart is juggling vuvuzelas.
And Capello? Well he's Italian, he's probably eating pasta and praying, simultaneously.
