If you are passionate about footy (I'm not - real sport has spark-plugs!)
then this might upset you. If you couldn't care less, you'll most likely
find it hilarious! Read the buyers questions as well, there's some corkers
in there!

After re-building the URL, it says item 290004418871 doesn't exist.
Thought I'd let others know so they don't spend any time
re-constructing the whole thing!

It worked last night just clicking on the highlighted part, looks like ebay
have had a sense of humour failure and taken it off! Bloody ****ers, it was
someone having a bit of harmless fun, in my opinion, and seriously funny at
that!

you only need the first bit as far as the end of the item number. this
applies to any ebay item.

It was basically someone having a dig at england's demise from the world
cup, by putting the whole team up for auction with a starting price of
£100000000 or thereabouts. The funny thing was the "ask seller a question"
comments, about 5 pages worth when I looked at it. I was virtually in tears
I was laughing so much at the time. Sheer class.
ebay obviously had a sense of humour failure and removed the listing.
