Tricky Hawes: Best opening paragraph to a Fiver story in a long time tonight, I reckons ..

"THIS TIME, MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME, THIS TIME ...

p + ½ pV2 + pgh = constant, where p is the density, V is the velocity, h is elevation and g is the gravitational acceleration. Quasi-one-dimensional approximation. Euler equations drooled over by bearded men in sweaty Social Distortion T-shirts. All of the above is rocket science. As far as the Fiver is aware, picking your best team, rather than your best 11 players, isn't (unless one of those trendy new universities has just announced a course, probably combined with media studies, that claims otherwise). Yet after England's 3-0 thrashing of Russia last night, who can tell anymore?"
