Saudi WAGs wow the media

With their team out of the tournament having failed to progress from tricky Group H, it was time for the Saudi WAGs to engage in a little 'oneup-womanship' with their English counterparts in Baden-Baden.

"You could see Colleen and Posh were taken aback," said one onlooker, "...they don't like to be threatened on what they clearly view as 'their patch."

Meanwhile a spokesperson for Top Shop confirmed that up to twenty of their shop assistants were awol, believed to be in Germany, but that business was unaffected.
