"Sven Goran Eriksson grew up in Sweden with the nickname "Two

country's president if they beat England on Sunday. (Daily Star
Sunday)"

Africa in 2010. (Sunday Mirror)" [I think we are discussing this
already]
"Spanish newspapers are claiming soothsayer Nostradamus predicted
Spain will win the 2006 World Cup. (Sunday Mirror)" [LOL! This story

" Fans who paid up to 65 to see Elton John at Hove, near Brighton,
are selling them off for just 99p because the concert clashes with
