| World Cup Name Translator: Martin Prickly Mountain Posted: 15 Jun 2010 03:54 AM PDT Making sure you know your Thierry Henrys from your Terry Henrys What is a prickly mountain? We are not really sure, but it is definitely bigger than a spiky hill. It sounds like it would be pretty useful to plonk in front of your goal in any case. That’s right, Martin Prickly Mountain is Maarten Stekelenburg. [...]

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 01:46 AM PDT Blonde bombshell As practical jokes go, whoever mocked up the invitation from Sepp Blatter to Rigobert Song claiming that the 2010 World Cup was Abel Xavier-themed fancy dress did pretty well. In fact, the veteran defender is supposed to look like the Indomitable Lion from Cameroon’s crest, apparently.

| England’s kit for Algeria match gets covered in sewage Posted: 15 Jun 2010 01:07 AM PDT Sewer spill at England base If you thought England looked a bit poo against the USA, that is nothing compared to the forthcoming Algeria match. The Three Lions’ kit had to be rewashed after a sewage pipe burst over the kit causing a bit of a stink. The kit was washed, ironed and neatly folded, and had [...]

| Top five conclusions: Italy 1-1 Paraguay Posted: 14 Jun 2010 03:45 PM PDT 1. It is very reassuring to see the reigning world champions pick up an underwhelming 1-1 draw in their opening match. 2. Given some of the softer red cards so far in the World Cup, a few players can allow themselves to look at Cristian Riveros’ unpunished studs up leg-breaker on Riccardo Montolivo and scratch their [...]

| Benoit Assou-Ekotto shows off his girly hair and crazy pants Posted: 14 Jun 2010 11:29 AM PDT Spurs full-back’s fashion statement(s) Cameroon defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto forgot that he wasn’t a woman when he booked in for his hair appointment and accidentally order a high ponytail in a sort of bun. Realising his error, he promptly flashed his psychedelic pants to distract the photographers.

| Top five conclusions: Holland 2-0 Denmark Posted: 14 Jun 2010 09:51 AM PDT 1. Contrasting fortunes for the Liverpool representatives. Dirk Kuyt and Daniel Agger both got themselves on the scoresheet, but both for Holland. 2. The first comedy own goal of the World Cup. A true landmark moment for OTP. 3. But Kuyt’s hair was definitely the biggest own goal on display. 4. Eljero Elia is much less [...]

| Top five conclusions: Japan 1-0 Cameroon Posted: 14 Jun 2010 09:38 AM PDT 1. Perhaps Cameroon are not Africa’s great World Cup hope after all. 2. Rangers fans no doubt enjoyed Paul Le Guen’s outstanding tactical display. Good old nostalgia. 3. England’s stuttering friendly performance against Japan might not have been as disappointing as we thought. 4. Thousands more empty seats: I hope Blatter and co are beginning to see [...]

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 09:12 AM PDT WANTED: Dirk Kuyt’s sideburns We are not sure whether Holland’s pre-World Cup camp involved lawnmower wrestling, but something peculiar has certainly happened to Dirk Kuyt’s hair. The Liverpool striker seems to have let someone hack away around his ears for a very interesting look. It does draw attention from his face a bit, we suppose. [...]
