Reality Check

Amidst all the usual footballing hype and extravagance that seems to pass for normal these days I liked the idea of this girl getting in her car and driving herself off to Italy to play football.

She's got guts. It's good to see somebody extending themselves rather than just taking life easy.

 

Reminds me of the alleged Ian Rush quote when he went to Juventus, 'It's like living in a foreign country'. She's making a better fist of it than he did!

 

That's all it was.
Ian Rush said: "I didn’t actually say Italy was “like living in a foreign country”. No one has ever seen a direct quote from me saying that. I’m blaming Kenny Dalglish. When he re-signed me, a reporter asked me, “Why have you come back?” Kenny quipped, “He said it was like playing in a foreign country”. He’s got a lot to answer for!"

Agree but why let the truth get in the way of a good story
