Hey, you can't fight nature.

Because of a design peculiarity at Royal Bafokeng stadium, some of the bathrooms were absolutely jammed during half-time, and others were empty.

Unfortunately, all the empty ones on this level were Women's bathrooms.

I stood outside one for a couple of minutes, torn. Then former Fulham manager Chris Coleman came over to stand beside me. We stared at the big stick figure with a skirt. We stared at each other. Then Coleman shrugged and walked in. I followed. Someone leaned over a barricade and took a picture of him, which I expect went viral 60 seconds ago. If I'm in the same shot, that could get all kinds of embarrassing.

Of course, when I come out of the stall, there's a horrified looking woman standing there.

"Sorry," I mumbled as I washed my hands. 

And doubly of course, Coleman was already gone.

C.K.
