BBC pundit Alan Hansen baffles everyone with impossible Euro 2012 prediction Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:03 AM PDT Keyboard warriors throughout England are demanding a refund on their BBC licence fee after Alan Hansen predicted an impossible semi-final scenario at Euro 2012. The ex-Liverpool defender reckons Spain, Germany, Holland and Portugal will be the last four standing in Poland and Ukraine. But with Germany, Holland and Portugal all competing for two quarter-final places [...]

‘Do Are Ya? Djibril Cisse’s blue mohawk and half beard Posted: 06 Jun 2012 02:47 AM PDT QPR striker Djibril Cisse is no stranger to an unusual hairdo, but his latest effort is special even by his own high standards. The blue mohawk is pretty ‘out-there’, but it’s no surprise that the France international has reached for the hair-dye. What really intrigues us is his incredible half beard. Take that, symmetry.

Meet Euro 2012 star Mario Barwuah Balotelli (the artist formerly known as Mario Balotelli) Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:54 AM PDT Mario Balotelli is out of Euro 2012.

At a hastily arranged Wembley press conference, the Three Lions issued a joint-statement revealing that their position on the England badge was becoming ‘increasingly untenable’. The three mournful looking mammals – who are kept behind titanium reinforced cages in the [...]

Cristiano Ronaldo’s face gets constructed from hundreds of football stadiums Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:31 AM PDT Ever wondered what Cristiano Ronaldo's face would look like if it was constructed entirely from football stadiums spotted on Google Earth? Thanks to artist Elena Gonzalez, we now have that very image to admire. The rather clever composition is an impressive feat of imagination, although it can be quite tricky to identify the stadiums. If [...]

Paul Gascoigne confesses to pretty much all his pranks ever reported Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:11 AM PDT We should never forget that before Mario Balotelli there was the original prankster, Paul Gascoigne. A reminder of the England legend’s jovial high-jinx is always welcome and that is exactly what we get in this light hearted video interview, courtesy of England shirt sponsors Umbro. Whilst it's still difficult to look at ‘Gazza’ without being somewhat concerned for his [...]
