World Cup / ESPN Blog

ESPN has a world cup blog authored by quite a few people. This post caught my eye -- i don't work blue on this blog, but my predilection for swearing is well known....

To ensure that notoriously potty-mouthed England striker Wayne Rooney stays in check, the referees have brushed up on their English swear words, committing to memory a list of the 20 worst, reports the British media. England is rightfully nervous that the man once described as the assassin-faced baby (Michael Owen was his babe-faced assassin counterpart at the time) is at all times on the cusp of a sending off.

The assassin/baby bit is the cherry on top.
