A World Cup joke to brighten up your day!

Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Wayne Rooney are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them and says; "before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in."

Addressing Ronaldo first he asks, "what do you believe?"

Ronaldo looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe Football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the terraces supporting their club."

God looks up and offers Ronaldo the seat to his left.

He then turns to Luis Figo , "and you, Luis , what do you believe?"

Figo stands tall and proud at the end of his career and says, "I believe courage, honour and passion are the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits."

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Figo the seat to his
right.

Finally, he turns to Wayne Rooney , "and you, Wayne , what do you
believe?"

"I believe" says Rooney "you're sitting in my seat."

Spitting image - 8:36 - 13/1

There's no impressionism here this colt is the real thing. Consistent and strong the 2 year old is in a rich vein of form and favours racing over the muddy terrain. With 5 wins and 15 placed finishes in 28 races he's delivered so far for the stable after being bought from the August stable at the end of April. The last win came in a level weight race on the 29th of July in Dubai. A repeat performance tonight could well yield another win but I'm backing him for a placed finish this evening.

Nobody wanted me - 8:48 - 14/1

Its almost impossible not to back Bigboysteve's 2 year old fillie for this race in Canada. With 4 wins out of 7 shes already stamped her mark on getminted racing and tonight aims to keep her good run going. With 3 wins in the last 5 races her pedigree continues to rise and odds of 14/1 seem over generous this evening. A winner last time out in the USA she showed she was well capable of moving up a gear when required and she could well place again tonight.

Boo Berry - 9:48 - 28/1

In a race of average quality the menace stable must fancy the chances of their 2 year old fillie here at these long odds. A winner last time out in Canada on fast two days ago confidence is high as that win was a long time coming. Total stats read 10 runs, 1 win and 7 placed finishes. While she normally plies her trade over fast and good going she aims tonight to continue the glory days on yielding and she may well do just that.
