(Was originally gonna say this about Jan Molby but I can't find any interviews with him from his playing days and his accent now is just pure scouse. I wonder what it is about Danish people (and Icelandic people too for some reason) that makes them so receptive to picking up British regional accents?)

English is astonishingly similar to the Scandinavian languages.
So learning English is a walk in the park.

learning any language is a walk in the park if you do it as a kid, it's more because of that than anything else.

Nah.
It's the close relationship plus the constant media exposure to it.
School is not a good place to learn languages.

What he's saying has nothing to do with school. It has to do with the development of the brain and the limits of one's biological ability to learn new languages which increase as one ages. The older you get, the harder it is to learn new languages. This has been clearly documented for years and has nothing to do with school in any sense.

but I know French and German people who have lived in the UK for 20 years and they still sound French and German, even if they have picked up lots of idiomatic English which sounds weird as poo poo. Even Swedes and Finns mostly keep their accents, but Danes seem to start singing "Ferry Cross The Mersey" the minute they land.

It's not even like Scouse is a common accent in the media so they might have unconsciously picked it up that way.

Also it can work the other way:

I think maybe the people who easily pick up local accents don't have much experience with the language before? A theory which is constantly proven by Americans starting to speak in an English accent when they move there.

I know - the succession of a photographer who thought to capture the moment, then push it to the wire service, the wire service who pushed it to the publications, and the publication who put it up - an amazing chain of decision-makers.

I agree Sir Alex is bang out of order saying he's going to punish Rio.

Alternatively it's all an elaborate scheme to draw more attention to the campaign.
