GREAT news for fans of Miami Vice and soft rock crooner Michael Bolton - Senegal have reached the last 16 of the World Cup.

Their French coach Bruno Metsu has inspired a whole retro fashion movement in the office as the sports desk arrived en masse yesterday morning in suits with white T-shirts.

To be honest, it looked like a naff video from 1985.

All that we were lacking were the flowing locks boasted not only by Monsieur Metsu but the manager of Cameroon, the German Winfried Schaeffer.

Given the hairstyles favoured by the FAs in the two countries, I can only assume that there are a number of Argentinians as well as our own David Seaman who have more than one eye on a job managing in Africa.

This style for managers of teams from Africa is clearly restricted to Europeans as the African bosses at the World Cup, such as South Africa's Jomo Somo and Nigeria's Adegboye Onigbinde simply can't compete in the bad gear stakes.

There are some very contrasting types to be seen on the benches in the World Cup, from our very own Mr Burns look-alike Sven to Germany's Rudi Voller who still looks like a star from 70s porn films - not that I have ever seen any such things of course!

Then there is Spanish boss Jose Camacho who is surely about to feature in a Sure advert in his home country.

The ad men must have been leaping for the phone as they saw the armpit action he was suffering in the humidity of Korea last week.

You can just picture the scene - Camacho in a World Cup semi-final raising his arms in celebration to reveal armpits damper than an English summer.

Cut to the men from Sure (or any other deodorant company) arriving at the training ground before the final and handing him a speed stick or a spray.

Final scene could then be him triumphantly lifting the World Cup above his head with the only dampness being tears of joy around his eyes.
