The beautiful game can do without the eye-candy

-

CAMERAMEN at the footie have at last had the memo. The ‘diversity’ chief at FIFA has warned them not to linger on pretty females during breaks in play. I won’t miss these ‘honey shots’, which have been conspicuou­s this World Cup (and Wimbledon). Indeed, during the last moments of the Sweden game, the screen filled with such a succession of desolate yellow-andblue-shirted blonde beauties that I began to think all Swedish football fans were supermodel­s. It’s been a gala summer of sport. Women are more than screen-filler, folks. It’s #timesup for the eye-candy-cam. We should be shouting GOAL not GIRRRRL.
