It’s only 1 game into the new season, and the wart on the game that is international football rears its ugly head again. Freddie Ljungberg won’t play for Sweden after aggravating a shoulder injury against Everton, while according to Arseweb, Sol Campbell is doubtful for the England game with a similar complaint.

Advertisement: If you do something wrong today, or something bad happens due your incompetence and/or negligence, don’t worry about it. Just do what I do, blame Perry, because it’s recently been discovered that Everything in the world is Perry’s fault. Blame Perry today, and tell your friends to blame Perry too.
