Sara Carbonero's Presence at Spain Matches Causing Dramz

Everyone needs to just shut up and let this chick do her job. Did Casillas make a massive mistake? No. The trouble is at the other end. So lets stop blaming poor Pastasauce Sara.

But that won't stop us from judging her ridiculously dreadful fashion sense.

Facial Hair Fallacy: The World Cup Paedo Beards

Xabi's isn't quite there yet, but give it a few a day or two of growth, and he'll have it.


Yeah it itches Daniele, doesn't it?


Iker had more of a porn star mustache.

But then he shaved it and Pepe Reina thought he was much more snuggley that way.

The Dutchy Dress Disputation

They sure got some tongues wagging, but that's not the reason why everyone's talking about the 36 female models who wore the Dutchy Dress to the Netherlands-Denmark match.




At halftime, FIFA officials and police approached the ladies and told them they had to leave. They were cited by FIFA under an "ambush marketing" charge, because Bavaria beer, who created the Dutchy Dress, is not a FIFA profitable sponsored product. Two of the girls were arrested, but released on £1,000 bail and told to return for court later this month.


It goes a bit further. The tickets that got the models into the match were traced to Robbie Earle, an ITV pundit at the World Cup. He has since been released by ITV and also as an ambassador for the England 2018 World Cup bid. Earle is claiming that he was naive to the use of the tickets and that he received no money for procuring them.

England Players Embark on Golf Outing

The England players enjoyed a spot of golf on their day off on Sunday. Gareth Barry, James Milner, Stephen Warnock, and Michael Dawson all took part of the fun.

Robert Green tried to forget about his howler against the USMNT by wearing a ridiculous hat. One can only assume.


Peter Crouch was happy to be in the outdoors without a football at his feet. Although, he's had to endure many giraffe jokes since arriving in South Africa.


Wayne Rooney took a wee before teeing off. What's the saying? You can take the Scouser out of Liverpool but you can't take the Scouse out of the highly-paid footballer. I might be making that up. Still fitting though, I think.

Tricky, Tricky Capello

How do you get the England National Team to not get laid until after the World Cup?

Make them sleep in this...

Yeah, that'll do it alright.

They're altitude tents and are supposed to create similar conditions to that of higher altitudes. The staff has the England players using them to help them begin to adjust in preparation for the World Cup. Joleon Lescott spoke about them on Soccer AM.

Well played, Mr. Capello. Well played.
