continues to flood in for Gary Neville, who has been appointed as a coach on Roy Hodgson's England

It was only a matter of time before the living Barbie became a real Barbie, wasn't it?
Proud husband Rafael tweeted some pics of the Sylvie Barbie that was unveiled at a toy fair in

which most simply cannot, Mattel has upped the ante and reminded them of what the supposed ideal
range of female looks like. Oh, and she's a great athlete too.
No pressure.
