Big Phil fires up Portuguese men of war

WITH a flurry of charismatic gestures and stirring words Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari demonstrated to the English Football Association just what they missed when they failed to land their number one man for the top job.

On the eve of England’s World Cup quarter-final against Portugal, Scolari apologised to anyone he might have “hurt” when turning down the job he claims he was offered by the FA.

He revealed that one day he might yet be England manager.
