South Africa is just not Coleen Rooney’s thing

South Africa is just not Coleen Rooney’s thing Wayne Rooney has announced that Coleen, his wife, will not be heading to South Africa with him to the South Africa World Cup after talking somewhat about the fact that in the past girlfriends and wives have been a distraction; a point of view shared by England captain Rio Ferdinand and manager Fabio Capello.

Rooney stated that if the players’ significant others want to come support them there is nothing in the way but it can be rough.  He also stated that his wife just had a child so she would not be able to accompany him anyhow.

Last week Cappello got snappy when asked where the Wags’s would stay in South Africa stating that it is enough to ask that they stay away from the training ground.  Earlier he stated that the Wags that choose to come along would have to deal with only getting to see the squad on a weekly basis.

He added that the team is headed to South Africa to play and not on a holiday basis and that if the Wags are not happy with the one day visit they should stay in England.

He also bristled when asked if the Wags had disrupted England at the last Germany World Cup, responding that their presence was somewhat like a virus.

Ferdinand also has negative memories of the 2008 World Cup when the Wags stayed at the same hotel describing the situation as a circus with the publicity centred on the Wags and the football aspect of the event becoming a sideshow.

Prostitutes expected to invade world cup

Prostitutes expected to invade world cup Officials warned that up to 40,000 women may head to South Africa around the time of the World Cup this year in order to find work as prostitutes during the festivities.

In anticipation of the sudden influx of prostitutes South Africa has tightened its border procedures and is hoping to help prevent those who want to make money from the fans during the tournament.

Deputy chair of the Central Drug Authority of South Africa, David Bayever, stated that local officials are worried that girls from the area will be encouraged to also head to the streets in an effort to get sex work from tourists in an area where up to 16% of the total population is thought to have HIV.

Bayever continued to say that the problem is a large concern and that organizers of the event are aware of the threat and that the women looking for work and money as sex workers are expected to come from areas located throughout the globe with a large concentration from Eastern Europe.

The problem was discussed at a meeting of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime and policies designed to limit the amount of women allowed in the country were discussed.

According to Bayever, the UN office has been given assurances that passport control checks will be conducted at the borders on those who look suspicious and that screening methods will be in place.

Officials are also fearful that children may be attracted to sex work while on holiday during the World Cup.
