I had the blue one.

Now, I can't... I can't believe this.

Alex Wilson in Macclesfield emails, Dear my little rosy-cheeked little smashers,

In relation to last week's made-up game, specifically the discussion on how long a game of keepy-uppies would take to decide the World Cup winner instead of penalties, I want to draw your attention to John Farnworth.

To name just a few of his achievements, he has crossed the Sahara in seven days, crossed the world's largest frozen lake, ran the London Marathon, and climbed 6,000 metres up Everest.

Wait for it.

All whilst continually keeping the ball in the air with keepy-uppies.

Yeah.

How big can it be?

And we've done the London Marathon.

And we've done the London Marathon.

I've been lucky enough to meet him a couple of times and he's a lovely bloke as well as being extraordinarily talented.

I genuinely think he could keep the ball in the air permanently given the opportunity.

If FIFA do decide to implement John's changes to the game, in the event of a draw, I think it has to be 100% certainty for a spot in the squad and can guarantee a long overdue World Cup for England.

How the heck...

Do you climb 6,000 metres up Mount Everest?

No way.

But also being a footballer doesn't necessarily mean you're that good at keepy-ups.

Obviously you're good, but no footballer would practice doing keepy-ups for more than, I don't know, a few minutes.

Yeah, yeah.
