Rooney & Eriksson take sporting hyperbole to new heights
"England striker Wayne Rooney has told coach Sven-Goran Eriksson he is 300% certain he will be fit for the World Cup". - BBC Report
300% now ??? I always cringe when people say 110% - this "300%" is almost Keeganesque in it's level of foolishness.
You can't beat 100% ... it means ALL, TOTAL, ABSOLUTE.
This is up there with Spinal Tap's 11 on the volume ... at least that was ironic.
I hope they're right (that he's fit ... not that 300% of anything can exist), I really do ... but the scan will decide, not how confident the person is.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
