England’s 13 men
When rugby league’s Four Nations began a week ago, there was talk about how the 13-man code could benefit from England’s pitiful effort in the 15-man World Cup.

More stuff about Twitter

Just think what this could do for English football – Rooney could become, er, @WayneRooney. Chiapas striker Jackson Martinez (@jacksonm9) is already feeling the benefit: 969 (count 'em) followers.
