Manchester Utd gaffer wants to use Da Silva for evil

Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on his young twins Rafael (left) and Fabio (right) Da Silva, and the possibility of using their identical nature to Manchester Utd’s advantage has not escaped the manager. With a scheme that could be taken straight from a hilarious high concept film, Fergie says he would like to interchange the identical siblings during matches:

“We have two great Brazilian defenders in Fabio and Rafael and it’s impossible to distinguish who is who.

“My dream would be to start one and replace him with the other without anyone noticing. They are extraordinary, they really adore football.”

Of course, it’s unlikely that Sir Alex would ever cheat in this way, but then again, how would we ever know?

Oh my god, they’re the same!

Ask any normal teenage boy to describe his ideal woman, and his bumbling description will be littered with specifics: a twin, blonde, Brazilian, bikini, around 19 or 20, synchronised swimmer. Which makes this discovery all the more amazing, because Bia and Branca are all those things and more. They are also Olympians… or, at least, they would have been had the good lord swung them a place in this year’s Brazilian swimming squad. They will, however, make the Olympics one day, The Spoiler is sure of it. Hence, we’ve deemed them worthy of inclusion.

Absolutely impossible to tell apart, both have the kind of taut angry bodies that old sea-dogs have been telling tales of for centuries, and when they’re submerged under gallons of chlorinated water, they can still move with the same grace as a professional not-underwater dancer. They are, in short, fantastic.

Enjoy more of them after the jump…
