Damn the Algerians - Why we lost :O(

THE pigeon which perched on Algeria's goal during England's bore draw was sent by a WITCHDOCTOR to curse our players, it was claimed last night.

African medicine men often use birds to deliver spells - and a healer insisted the Cape Town pigeon was sent to help our opponents' defence.

Shaman Olga Mokwena, 59, said: "It could be someone supporting Algeria has visited a witchdoctor to put a spell on England.

"I am following the World Cup very well and saw the pigeon. That bird was there at night when the birds are supposed to be sleeping. And that one was not sleeping.

"That told me it was protecting the Algeria goal. It was guarding it."

Olga, from Chaneng - near England's Rustenburg base - said Our Boys now need a spell of their own to beat Slovenia.

She revealed: "I'd give them something to bathe in - powder from tree bark.They need something to wash away the evil spirits."

Why should anyone admit anything? Isn't it always easier to blame the US for it?

Why aren't you admitting how bad your team is?........that simple.

I recall the commentor saying "now thats what I call a birds eye view" refering to the pigeon sitting on the back of Goal post netting..:)
