Doubtful we will admit. But take a look at Ricky's outfit today...
Much smarter, we are sure you will agree.

Ricky Hatton or David Beckham?
OK, I think we all know which one would win in a fight, but who looks the smartest here?
There won't be a poll on this one.
The British sporting icons were meeting at the Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo game on Sunday, September 16, 2007 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Hatton is in town promoting his upcoming superfight against Floyd Mayweather.

Steve McClaren - Forgiven
We gave Steve McClaren's choice of tie a bit of slating here, but it has to be said during the last two England international football matches, the boss has worn smart navy blue silk ties.
A tie similar to the one McClaren wore for the Israel and Russia Euro 2008 qualifying games at Wembley is shown in the image and is available here: http://www.tiesplanet.com/navy-blue-multi-rib-silk-tie-26-p.asp
England 3 Israel 0...
England 3 Russia 0...
See a smart tie pays dividends.
OK, this one isn't solely about ties, but we like it anyway...

Belo combined the tie with a matching white shirt as he netted himself £100,000, beating favourites Sam and Amanda Marchant into second place.
This video shows the cool white tie/shirt combo in action.
You can get a plain white tie much like Brian's at Tiesplanet.com. What is more, they are just £3.99 in the current half price sale.

England Rugby Union World Cup Chances Compromised?
England's rugby union squad jetted off to France today for the 2007 World Cup. And on the day former captain Lawrence Dallaglio hinted at a drop in standards by the English RFU since the last tournament, the defending champions posed for photos at Heathrow Airport without a certain something they had last time.
The World Cup Trophy? Well, they couldn't have won that yet to be fair.
A great coach or captain? That is open to debate.
Ties? You are correct. The national rugby union team, representing our great nation appeared wearing open neck shirts. The great winners of the last World Cup can be seen here wearing their smart ties whilst on the victory parade around London... England 2003 World Cup Winners Celebrate Wearing Ties
Can the non-tie wearing squad of 2007 live up to Sir Clive Woodward's 2003 champions? We will see.
Quality silk ties available from http://www.tiesplanet.com
