| Top five things to hate about the World Cup so far Posted: 16 Jun 2010 03:42 AM PDT Don’t get us wrong - we love the World Cup. But a little bit of critiquing won’t do any harm 1. People who haven’t got a clue about football talking about the World Cup It is nice that people who don’t their Assou-Ekotto from their Eboue suddenly find football interesting for four weeks every four years, but [...]

| Merry Christmas 1993, love Dunga Posted: 16 Jun 2010 02:06 AM PDT Brazil boss’ unusual touchline fashion Brazil coach Dunga knew he had a special occasion to attend yesterday.

| Video: Fan gets thrown over tier of stand at Brazil v North Korea Posted: 16 Jun 2010 01:36 AM PDT Splat! Keep your eyes above the ‘J’ of Johannesburg to see a disgruntled man with a rucksack picking up a fan who is jumping up and down at the bottom of the stand and throwing him over the edge of the tier. We know the stewards are striking, but vigilante crowd control is a bit over the [...]

The North Korea striker was emotional wreck during the national anthems before his side’s clash with Brazil. The 26-year-old could probably teach us a few things about pride at playing at the World Cup, but we [...]

| Video: New Zealand keeper Mark Paston’s calamitous clearance Posted: 15 Jun 2010 10:11 AM PDT Oops New Zealand goalie Mark Paston put in a performance that David James would have been proud of in his prime as his side managed a 1-1 draw with Slovakia. This near-disastrous sliced clearance was probably the pinnacle of his list of clangers and unusual decisions. Video via 101GG

| Top five conclusions: New Zealand 1-1 Slovakia Posted: 15 Jun 2010 09:01 AM PDT 1. Wow, New Zealand are so much better at football than Old Zealand. That was a great result to score their first ever World Cup point. 2. Keeper Mark Paston is laugh-a-minute dodgy goalkeeping at its best. Highly watchable. 3. Fair play to New Zealand for providing a bit of excitement lacking in so many of the [...]
