Suarez is a ballerina! Stephen Hawking weighs in on England's World Cup chances
I think I've just heard and seen it all.
Professor Stephen Hawking has outlined a few things for England to take note of in order to maximise their chances of winning the World Cup in Brazil.
Yes, that Stephen Hawking - one of the most brilliant scientific minds of our time.
He believes Roy Hodgson's team will receive a boost if they wear red - the same colour they wore when they won the 1966 final.
A tactical switch from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 should also suit the team better.
The theoretical physicist even had a few cheeky digs.
Formula for penalties
He termed Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez a "ballerina". Then he presented a formula for taking penalties - because, as the scientific community would say it, England "couldn’t hit a cow’s a*** with a banjo".
Of course, Hawking's advice will have to be taken with a pinch of salt since it was commissioned by Irish bookmakers Paddy Power, known for their penchant for the unusual.
Nonetheless, hit up the gallery above to listen to Hawking's entertaining analysis - it'll be one of the best two minutes you'll ever spend.
