World Cup ban for angry Englan

Byline: Joe Sinclair

THE England football fan who wandered into the national team's dressing room to berate the players was banned from attending future World Cup matches yesterday. Pavlos Joseph, 32, from Crystal Palace, London, was released on bail after appearing in court in Cape Town charged with trespassing.

The mortgage adviser told a Sunday newspaper he was looking for a toilet after the game against Algeria when a security Cartier Watches guard sent him in the direction of the players' tunnel.

He claimed that after taking a wrong turn, he found himself in the changing room where he says he told David Beckham: "David, we've spent a lot of money getting here. This is a disgrace. What are you going to do about it?" England drew 0-0 with Algeria in the first round of the World Cup finals at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium on Friday.

South African Police Service spokeswoman Brigadier Sally de Beer said Joseph was released on 500 rand bail and banned from future World Cup matches. He is due back in court today to stand trial.

Joseph, who described himself as a lifelong Manchester United and England supporter, was arrested at his hotel yesterday. He appeared in one of the special World Cup courts set up to deal with crimes relating to the tournament.

The Londoner was arrested at about 10.30am yesterday morning at the Bay Hotel in Camps Bay after a police investigation in which officers analysed CCTV footage from the stadium.

The intrusion, which happened minutes after Princes William and Harry left, prompted the Football Association to make an official complaint to World Cup organisers Fifa.

Police were also looking into why Joseph, who was hustled away by a Fifa official, was not handed over to officers. Joseph claimed he had handed his card to the official after he was escorted out of the dressing room.

South Africa Police Service spokeswoman Brigadier de Beer said talks with World Cup organisers Fifa and the local organising committee had led rolex replica to "certain tactical decisions" being made about the deployment of security personnel within stadiums.

At an FA reception in Johannesburg at the weekend, David Beckham said the incident had been "blown out of all proportion".

Beckham, who gave a joint interview with Princes William and Harry, said Joseph walked in "casually and just said something to me and then walked out, there was no scuffle, there was no aggression at all".

Sales at the company's up-market supermarket chain Waitrose were up 9.3 per cent as shoppers bought barbecues, outdoor dining gear and sun-cream thanks to the sunny weather as well as the football.

Simon Russell, head of multi channel at John Lewis, said: "We certainly Replica Balenciaga Wallet Watch enjoyed a steadier end to the week than the England football team and recorded a score that I suspect Fabio Capello would have been dreaming of.

"There was life beyond football, however. PCs and white goods also showed solid growth with value ranges in demand."

Book chronicles history of soc

"CHASING THE GAME: America and the Quest for the World Cup," by Filip Bondy, DaCapo Press, 344 pages, $26

It wasn't too long ago that the world's soccer fans considered anything American -- players, coaches, national teams -- to be irrelevant.

Filip Bondy, a New York Daily News columnist, examines how America got to the point where it can compete in the world's favorite sport, and why that sport was ignored for so long.

Bondy profiles star Landon Donovan, coach Bob Bradley, U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati and several others in chapters that also follow the team's effort to qualify for the World Cup in regional matches against Mexico, Costa Rica and others, beginning in the spring of 2008.

He neatly alternates those chapters with others telling why the game, for so long, failed to develop in the U.S., and how people like Gulati, beginning in the 1980s, endeavored to finally make the Americans respectable in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Replica Replica Breitling Watches Watches

European immigrants brought the game to the United States in the middle of the 19th century, eventually making northern New Jersey and southern Massachusetts hotbeds of the sport. But Eastern colleges and universities, such as Princeton, increasingly turned toward American football, which by the early 20th century was the nation's most popular fall sport.

The U.S. participated in the first World Cup in 1930, then sent a side to the 1934 tournament in Italy, but they were embarrassed by the fascist-saluting Italians in a 7-1 thrashing in front of Benito Mussolini. From there, soccer languished in America. No national side entered international competition until 1947, and the upset 1- 0 win over England at the 1950 World Cup barely registered back home.

It wasn't until the 1970s, when the famous Pele came from Brazil to play in the now-defunct North American Soccer League, that soccer began to see some life in the U.S.

Replica Ed Hardy

In 1989, the Americans were still considered "consistently horrible, even irrelevant." But they managed to qualify for the 1990 World Cup -- their first in 40 years -- thanks to a bit of luck (Mexico had been suspended from international competition) and a hard-fought win over favored Trinidad and Tobago.

The U.S. hosted the tournament in 1994, a rousing financial success that helped give birth to Major League Soccer. The U.S. Soccer Replica Prada Wholesale Federation has since invested in discovering and developing young talent -- Donovan is one of several U.S. team members to have benefited from the initiative.

Bondy recounts historic wins over Portugal at the 2002 World Cup and Spain in 2009. Other chapters explore the rivalry with Mexico, the limited success of American players in European professional leagues and the formation of Sam's Army, a traveling band of supporters of the U.S. national team based on European models.

The book is good preparation for the American sports fan willing to make room for the monthlong tournament amid baseball and the NBA Finals, and for those would like to gain more than a passing familiarity with Donovan, goalie Tim Howard and other leading American players.

BOOBOOZZZZZZELAS

IT WAS supposed to be Wayne Rooney's World Cup, the tournament he took hold of by the scruff of the neck.

He was meant to go head-to-head with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to find out who is the best player on the planet.

It was supposed to be the World Cup where England showed how far they have come under Fabio Capello, how the ethos and attitude of the Three Lions has changed.

Coach Handags Replica

Yet it didn't feel like that last night, as England played like they were in Cape Fear, not Cape Town.

Unless something changes very, very quickly, unless Capello does something about Rooney, then England will be back at Heathrow next week, 24 hours after France arrive at Charles De Gaulle.

That was the bleak reality at the Green Point Stadium, a night in which England stank the place out.

And as Rooney snarled into the cameras about the jeers that rained down amid the blaring vuvuzelas, the sheer scale of the problems that Capello has brought down upon himself in the space of a few short weeks was clear as never before.

From the moment the Italian came into the job, his entire approach has been about one idea, geared towards Rooney.

He changed the shape of the team to make him the central figure, told the planet to beware and made the Manchester United man his talisman.

But last night England did not have Wayne Rooney. Yes, they had a fellow called Rooney playing in the No.10 shirt, but they did not have Wayne Rooney. They had a player whose touch was dreadful, whose movement paled into insignificance compared to that of Emile Heskey.

This was not merely Rooney's worst night of the season, it was - Gelsenkirchen aside - arguably his worst ever in an England shirt.

It was surely only Capello's desperation, his hope that Rooney might come up with one moment of inspiration, that kept him on the pitch for 90 minutes last night, as England lurched from nervousness into total disarray. This was nothing to do with altitude or the ball, nothing to do with any other excuses Capello might try to drag up.

It was down to a side that has lost faith in itself, lost belief, at the moment when it needs it most, a side that seems to feel that, without a fit and firing Rooney, it has no real chance.

Of course, it is not over yet. In 1986 England had one point from two games, four years later, they started with two draws as Replica Glashutte Original Watches Fake well.

Italy, too, have even won the World Cup after drawing their first two matches - and they also had a keeper, like the recalled David James, who was in his dotage. Victory over Slovenia on Wednesday will ensure England go through to the knock-out phase, quite probably as Group C winners, although they will have to do so without the suspended Jamie Carragher.

But you would have to be a blind patriot, or a deluded optimist, to claim that it will suddenly change for the better.

Algeria are not a good team. They are not even an ordinary team. But for long periods last night they were better than England.

An England in which Steven Gerrard was playing with the inhibitions of captaincy, which showed that Frank Lampard does not do World Cups, which proved that simply bringing back Gareth Barry does not sort everything ou

Fans blow whistle on price of

Gillingham Fc match day ticket prices have been shaved by just Pounds 2, despite the team's relegation to the lowest tier of the Football League.

At their cheapest, bought online in advance, Gills tickets will cost Pounds 20 next year. Last season the average ticket price in League Two was just over Pounds 15.

Daniel Hazelden, 29, a media analyst of Landrail Road, Lower Halstow, said: "I probably would go to see more Gillingham matches. But twenty quid really makes you think twice.

"I went to see Newcastle play Sheffield United in the Championship this year. My ticket was only Pounds 20. There were plenty of players who are at the World Cup. If you are watching that standard of football and it costs the same to watch Gillingham there is something wrong."

Treasurer of the Gillingham Independent Supporters' Club Darren Keating, 43, said: "I would rather go shopping for Pounds 20. People are not going to be able to pay Replica Replica Oris Watches Watches more money for lower division football."

Fashion Converse

Wycombe Wanderers, who were also relegated to League Two, have frozen their season tickets to Pounds 280 at their cheapest, with an early bird offer of Pounds 245. In contrast, a season ticket at Priestfield would have cost Pounds 290 in April. The cheapest currently available is Pounds 344.

Gillingham's nearest competition for fans, League One side Charlton Athletic, have season tickets for Pounds 240 in their more impressive 27,111-capacity Valley stadium. They also run bus services across Kent to ferry fans in.

Gills' average attendance last year was 6,335 in a stadium that holds 11,582.

Stephen Shepherd, who runs the Vital Gillingham fans' website, said: "We have never been a well supported club. Football needs to be more accessible and attractive to fans.

"It is frustrating, because you can see there is potential, with games like Leeds last season attracting a 10,000 crowd."

Mr Keating, of Robin Hood Lane, Chatham, fears attendances will drop even further. He said: "People vote with their feet. I would rather pay Pounds 13 more to see West Ham in the Premiership."

Mr Hazelden said: "Gillingham are a club struggling financially and not exactly packing them in at the turnstiles, so you would think generating match day revenue would be a high priority, but clearly not."

Unveiling the forthcoming season's ticket prices before the Gills were relegated, club chairman Paul Scally acknowledged "the current economic climate and the difficulties we accept many people are experiencing". Efforts were made to keep season ticket prices the same as the 2008/9 season, he said, for fans who Prada Replica Handbags renewed them early. On the club's finances, he added: "The club is on much stronger financial footings than it has been for many a year."
