Video: Diego Mardona storms out of press conference because he thinks Thomas Mueller is a ball boy Posted: 03 Jul 2010 03:27 AM PDT Crazy Diego’s history with current Germany squad If Germany have been stoking the flames with Argentina this week, then Diego Maradona and his men are certainly no angels. The Argentinian coach was winding up his quarter-final opponents as far back as March when he stormed out of a press conference with Germany’s Thomas Mueller, demanding to [...]

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 03:01 AM PDT Glenn Hoddle thinks so Ex-England boss Glenn Hoddle has been outlining his blueprint for an overhaul of English football - and walls are a pretty important part of it.

Video: Jorge Fucile nearly breaks his neck (Uruguay v Ghana) Posted: 03 Jul 2010 02:49 AM PDT Thankfully, the Uruguay-Ghana match turned out to be a fantastic football spectacle.

Top five conclusions: Uruguay 1-1 Ghana (4-2 pens) Posted: 03 Jul 2010 01:42 AM PDT 1. Wow! What a pulsating, open, end-to-end match. These two teams showed that you can entertain and progress in the World Cup. A few other teams would do well to take notice. 2. It is not very often that a player sent-off in a World Cup quarter-final become a national hero, but I reckon Luis Suarez [...]

Top five conclusions: Holland 2-1 Brazil Posted: 02 Jul 2010 09:04 AM PDT 1. Brazil make great winners and really bad losers. Their ill-discipline virtually killed off their chances and their decision not to bother defending at all in the last five minutes was embarrassing. 2. If Brazil were going to go out, a Wesley Sneijder header was not where we would have put our money on where the [...]

Video: Arjen Robben’s corner trick FAIL (Holland v Brazil) Posted: 02 Jul 2010 08:32 AM PDT Clever clogs Holland manage to make a right mess of a supposedly clever set-piece routine when Arjen Robben’s discreet corner kick was spotted by Brazil’s Daniel Alves.
