World Cup call-up for John Terry? England practise pens

World Cup whispers: Chelsea man could replace Keane at ITV, fans urged to act like 'priests'

John Terry

TERRY TO REPLACE KEANE AT ITV?John Terry is set for a dramatic World Cup call-up, as a replacement for Roy Keane in the ITV squad covering the tournament. The Chelsea defender, who quit international football two years ago, has been installed as the bookies favourite to fill the void left by Keane, who walked out on ITV yesterday, in order to "concentrate on his coaching career". The news prompted a mixed response. There was anger in some quarters, but a Daily Mirror poll found the majority in favour.

WILL ENGLAND FANS 'BEHAVE LIKE PRIESTS'?The mayor of the Brazilian city of Manaus, where England play their World Cup opener against Italy on 12 June, says he hopes the 7,000 England fans expected to descend on the Amazonian outpost to "behave like priests". Arthur Virgilio Noto, who last year said the English would not be welcome in his city, predicted a "beautiful event" and said: "When I go to England, I behave like a peaceful priest. I hope everyone who comes to Manaus will also behave like a priest."
