Sports Illustrated don’t seem to have heard of Robinho Posted: 23 Jun 2011 01:14 AM PDT Unique, you say? What have you got planned for the day ahead? Pint-sized Brazilian star Robinho is heading over to his lawyer’s office to see if his trademark has been breached by either Santos wonderkid Neymar or Sports Illustrated.

Video: It all kicks off at the Santos v Penarol Copa Libertadores final Posted: 23 Jun 2011 01:00 AM PDT Full-time: time for kick-off Remember the moral outrage that Barcelona and (predominantly) Real Madrid reduced the semi-final of Europe’s premier club competition to a game of handbags and theatrics? Well, things are done a bit differently in South America. The second-leg of the Champions League-equivalent Copa Liberadores final took place yesterday between Santos and Penarol. [...]

Macclesfield-born Aaron Eccleston, of Melbourne side Old Hill Wanderers reserves, was red-carded at the weekend for having his penis pierced. Little Aaron’s bling was deemed so offensive that the referee [...]

Video: 67-year-old Al-Ittihad coach Dimitri Davidovic does a cartwheel Posted: 22 Jun 2011 03:05 PM PDT Gymnastic geriatric Over-exuberant manager celebrations are nothing new in football, but they are rarely quite as energetic as this and – on the odd occasions that they are – they are not usually performed by managers who are pushing 70. But Dimitri Davidovic, the 67-year-old Belgian coach of Saudi side Al-Ittihad, showed off his gymnastic [...]

Modest Switzerland U21 star Xherdan Shaqiri: ‘I’m a really special player’ Posted: 22 Jun 2011 11:51 AM PDT The X Factor Xherdan Shaqiri proved he is a graduate of the Jose Mourinho School of Media Training with an entertaining interview ahead of tonight’s European Under 21 Championship semi-final against the Czech Republic. The modest prodigy outed himself as football’s new Special One. The FC Basel player told Sky Sports: “I’m a really special [...]

The 5 Live Footballers’ Song featuring Florent Malouda, Nolberto Solano and Jermain Defoe Posted: 22 Jun 2011 09:12 AM PDT This is just something else. For some reason best known to themselves, Radio 5 Live decided to task Jamie Stangroom with assembling a band consisting entirely of footballers with the aim of getting their track played on Radio One. Stangroom set about assembling a Mötley Crüe of musical footballers to perform the track. See how [...]
