World Cup 2010 paper view: Fabio Capello wears Speedos

Cristiano Ronaldo: how dare he! 
If you're the sort of person who goes horse-riding in your local library and tries to buy sausages in a shoe shop, then you never decide what to wear without first consulting the Daily Mail. The celebrated slicksters of that organ have worked themselves into quite a tizzy this morning after publishing photos of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing a splash of black nail varnish on each of his big toes. "Those painted toe-nails were a mistake!" fumes the rag authoritatively. Despite spying on Ronaldo and his girlfriend through a telescopic lens as they holidayed in New York, the photographer who sold a slew of photos to the ever-vigilant Mail was apparently unable to let the rag know what the star thought of their own nails, which are dug desperately into his coat-tails.

Elsewhere in the Mail, acclaimed adonis Jeff Powell is outraged at Fabio Capello for wearing "grotesque Speedos". Powell then tries to convince us that it is not really the Italian's clobber that concerns him but the fact that he is on a beach when he should obviously be in South Africa learning things from the countries still left in the World Cup.

Which is perhaps a fair point, but we all know that if Capello turned up in Soccer City on Sunday clad in nothing but his Speedos, Powell would be most outraged. On the bright side, perhaps renowned skimpy-kecks-enthusiast Sepp Blatter would be impressed? Go on Fabio, do it, for the sake of England's 2018 bid.

Speaking of 2018, what will Manchester City be like then? Will they be on skid row with the likes of MC Hammer and Queen Elizabeth II, ruefully sighing that they used to be someone but burned all their money on bling? Or will they still be on the back pages every day being linked with every footballer who pops into the hackery's mind?

Today City are "on the verge" of signing Fernando Torres (though Chelsea are on that very same verge), David Villa (though he has just joined Barcelona – but they have cash flow problems, see, and City could sort that out), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (ditto), Didier Drogba (who Chelsea will reportedly let go for just £20m, perhaps because they're intrigued by the prospect of a Drogba-Emmanuel Adebayor double act) and, of course, … Richard Wright, who's unemployed having just been let go by Ipswich.

Despite Wright's possible arrival, Brazilian funboy Robinho still doesn't want to return to Eastlands. But he won't be allowed to go to Besiktas as City have rejected the Turks' £17m offer.

£17m is how much Chelsea will have to pay to get hold of Dutch full-back Gregory van der Wiel, who is also being courted by Bayern Munich. The Bavarians also have their eye on Mesut Ozil, but Manchester United reckon they are more attractive to the young German and will double their efforts to lure him after being brushed off by Wesley Sneijder.

Over two decades ago Napoli signed Diego Armando Maradona, and recapturing those golden days remains their goal. Today, however, they are being linked with a move for Jermaine Pennant. It's a long way back to the top.

Sol Campbell would agree. His push for a place in England's new-look Euro 2012 squad will begin with a move to either Celtic or Sunderland.

Harry Redknapp, meanwhile, having failed to talk himself into the England job, will resume his Tottenham duties by asking Everton if they'd like to part company with Steven Pienaar.

Stupid, funny or dirty trick? Abbott laughs off Speedos stunt

Tony Abbott is greeted by a man wearing red Speedos at Knox City.
JULIA Gillard says it was stupid, but John Brumby reckons it was funny. Ted Baillieu thought it was the work of a Labor dirt unit, but Tony Abbott was happy to laugh it off.

Monday's famous red Speedos stunt by Labor activist Conrad French was the talk of the campaign trail yesterday.

Just about the only person not talking about it was Mr French, who went into hiding a day after commanding the media spotlight by accosting the federal Opposition Leader at Knox City shopping centre clad only in a pair of Abbott-style ''budgie smugglers''.

''Do you like the cut of my Speedos, Tony?'' he called out to Mr Abbott as the Opposition Leader was campaigning in the shopping centre with the Liberal candidate for the seat of Aston, Alan Tudge.

The revelation in The Age yesterday that Mr French works at Victorian ALP headquarters, with his salary paid at least in part by taxpayers, prompted some Liberals to demand Ms Gillard order his sacking.

The Prime Minister declined, but made it clear that, unlike the Premier, she was not amused. It was ''a stupid thing to do'', she said.

''This is an individual in Victoria who obviously made a very silly decision and doesn't have any support from me.'' She said she was confident ALP national secretary Karl Bitar was not associated with the stunt and had no prior knowledge of it.

Mr Abbott laughed off the incident. ''Apparently he's some part-time Labor staffer who has been detailed off to prance around like that,'' he said. ''If that's the worst stunt the Labor Party pulls, I guess we can all be grateful.''

But the famously fit Opposition Leader did have some advice for Mr French: ''I just thought he could work on his six-pack.''

Victorian Liberal leader Ted Baillieu, who faces a state election campaign in November, was less forgiving. He said the Speedos stunt was a dirty trick courtesy of a taxpayer-funded ''dirt unit''.

''What's been going on here is the Labor Party rolling out someone pretending to be a concerned citizen who's actually just a Labor operative,'' Mr Baillieu said. ''That's a classic sort of game from the Labor Party.''

Victorian Labor's leaders moved to distance themselves from Mr French. ALP state secretary and campaign director Nick Reece said the activist had taken annual leave to work on the federal campaign as a volunteer.

The Speedos stunt was just part of the ''colour and movement'' of Australian politics, Mr Reece said.

Mr Brumby said he did not know Mr French and had not known he was a member of the ALP.

The Premier quite enjoyed the stunt. ''I had a bit of a chuckle when I saw it, and I think so did most people,'' he said. ''He was trying to make a point about Speedos, and I think he probably made the point pretty well.''

But Mr Brumby hinted Mr French's sense of humour would no longer be welcomed by the ALP. ''I don't think you'll see him in the campaign again.''

The Premier also had some friendly advice for the former Australian Young Labor president: ''I wouldn't recommend that he dress up like that for any future job interview.''

High heels 'shrink calf muscle fibres'

UK researchers say they have uncovered why women who often wear high heels can find it painful to wear flat shoes.

Scans of the calf muscles in a group of frequent heel wearers found muscle fibres were, on average, 13% shorter than in those who avoided high heels.

The Journal of Experimental Biology study also found high heels led to stiffer tendons in the calf.

Some time spent in flatter footwear as well as stretching exercises would help to combat the effect, experts said.

Anecdotally it has long been said that regularly wearing high heels shortens the calf muscle.

Study leader Professor Marco Narici, from Manchester Metropolitan University, said in the 1950s secretaries who wore high heels complained that they struggled to walk flat-footed when they took their shoes off.

But no-one has looked at what is actually happening in the muscle.

From a group of 80 women, the team selected 11 volunteers who had regularly worn 5cm heels for two years or more and who felt uncomfortable walking flat-footed.

An MRI scan showed that there was no difference in the size of the calf muscles in the heel wearers compared with a group of women who wore flat shoes.

But an ultrasound scan revealed that the muscle fibres were indeed shorter in the women who wore heels.
Stiff calves

When the women were asked to lie on their front on a couch, the researchers noticed that the angle of the heel in the stiletto wearers was greater due to their shortened calf.

In the final part of the study, they found that the high-heel wearers' tendons were much thicker and stiffer than in those who stuck to flat shoes.

This causes discomfort when walking on flat feet because the tendon cannot stretch sufficiently, Professor Narici said.

Yet he does not think women need to give up their high heels.

"Fashion is intended to be uncomfortable and none of the women in the study planned to give up their high heels," he said.

"We want to give practical advice and I would recommend just doing a few stretching exercises to counteract some of these changes."

He said one useful tip was for high heel wearers to stand on tip toes on a step, and using a handrail for balance to lower their heels as far as they can before raising them up again.

Sammy Margo, physiotherapist and spokesperson for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, said the study backed what they suspected.

"The advice we would give is not to wear heels or flat shoes all the time but to wear a variety of heel heights to get the calf muscles working through the greatest range of movement.

"But I can't say we are seeing a higher incidence of calf problems in women who wear high shoes."
