Fabregas DNA Test Backfires

Many people felt that that Spain's defeat could have been avoided had Cesc Fabregas been available to come on and break down the stubborn Swiss defence with one of his trademark incisive passes. It emerged today however, that Fabregas was not even at the ground, having been sent away for a DNA test. We caught up with Xavi to ask why this was the case.

BWC - So why was Fabregas not available?
Xavi - We sent him to be DNA tested to prove that he has Barcelona DNA.
BWC - Could that not have waited till after the match?
Xavi - No way. This is the most important thing in my life right now. I need to prove that Cesc has Barca DNA and that Arsenal have no right to keep him from his Catalan birthright.
BWC - So paying his rather large wages and the contract he signed mean nothing?
Xavi - Not when compared with his DNA.
BWC - And it was worth losing you opening World Cup match for?
Xavi - For sure
BWC - You do realise that if Fabregas goes to Barcelona, you're the one he's most likely to replace, right?
Xavi - .....

So there you have it people. Crazy but true.
