Sorry, I haven’t been able to post for a while but here’s a well balanced footballer who reacts with good grace to a booking from the ref. Featuring Paraguayan José Pedrozo from the Primera B of the Chilean league who later received a 27-match ban. Love the fact that the crowd are just laughing away as the riot police have to come on.

Here’s Peter Drury and Jim Beglin getting excited about David Villa’s goal against Paraguay. Oh no, hang on it’s José Antonio Camacho the Osasuna coach who cannot contain his excitement. Great stuff.

This is not World Cup 2010. As far as we know, the tournament in South Africa is not full of cocaine. Diego Maradona has been clean for years, Adrian Mutu isn’t there and Mark Bosnich, well who knows where he is. But the replica World Cup trophy, pictured below, is very much full of cocaine, and was seized on Friday by police in Bogota, Colombia. Airports anti-drug chief Col. Jose Piedrahita says that Colombian authorities found the unusual statue during a routine security check by anti-drug agents in a mail warehouse at Bogota’s international airport. The 14-inch-high statue was inside a box headed for Madrid, Spain. The statue was painted gold with green stripes on the base. Piedrahita said Saturday that laboratory tests confirmed the cup was made of 24 pounds of cocaine mixed with acetone or gasoline to make it moldable.

It looks like a choclate one doesn’t it, though it probably has a bit more of a kick to it.

What do you get if you take a choreographed football crowd and add some South Korean precision and organisation? A human LCD screen by the look of it. This amazing display was put together by a team of 750 South Korean students who to cheer on their local football  team. As you can see in the video, the teams’ actions are a little sped up for effect but overall the fact that their movements create the illusion of a large screen LCD television with moving images is awesome.

The secret to their ability to put on such dazzling pixelated action pictures is their clothing. Each team member in the bleachers is wearing a jacked with one color on the front and another color on the back. Then if they open their jackets they can even flash a third color.

Now you see it, now you don’t. If only he would try this in a game!

For England fans, let’s hope we don’t see any tears from Fabio on Wednesday. This rare footage is from Marco Van Basten’s retirement.

It’s the day before the World Cup final in 1986 and ITV finish off their show with some of the commentary highlights of their coverage. Love the ‘Aztec Two-Step’.

You thought that ball had gone in right? Here’s some unseen footage from the USA game.

Souness quickly remembering he is on national telly
