As Brazil starts to ramp up towards next summer's World Cup, Neymar's stock will continue to rise. The perfect indication that the Samba Boys' star is very much the man of the moment is that he has been made into a comic book character. Cartoonist and comic book artist Mauricio de Sousa is behind the [.

The episode ‘The Day The Earth Stood Cool' features a hipster family moving in next door to The Simpsons, including Hammers-supporting son T-Rex. Bart and Lisa visit T-Rex's bedroom, which features a West Ham banner hanging [.
This is in such incredibly poor taste. Although the Gazzetta Dello Sport cartoonist explains
this as a clumsy attempt at humour, it reveals on a subconscious level how conflicted Italians are
towards Mario Balotelli. Besides how does a cartoon referencing a beleaguered King Kong sitting
atop the Empire State Building subsequently falling to his death make any connection to the Italian
domination of the English?

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't usually come across as someone who pays to much
attention to their appearance, but this cartoon offended even him. Confronted with a caricature of
himself to sign, the Portuguese attacker does a double-take. He says: "Is this me? My God. Very
ugly, yeah?" But he pops his autograph on [.
There are a number of people whose behavior in football probably shouldn't serve as a role model
to children. One of them is Jose Mourinho, since he's often busy behaving like a child. (You know
getting piggybacks and poking people in the eye.)
And yet here he is, getting his own cartoon to nurture our future, the children.
FC Barcelona released a video Monday to coincide with the signing of Cesc Fabregas from
Arsenal.
The Spanish midfielder, who participated in his first Barcelona training session today in Spain,
is featured in the cartoon (see above video) -- and may be ready to play in Wednesday's Spanish
Super Cup against Real Madrid at Camp Nou.
When the producers of soon to be released animated film The Pirates! needed a voice actor to dub
the Albino Pirate character into Spanish, the only logical choice was Barcelona midfielder Andres
Iniesta. Sure, he's not a voice actor, but the character's name is Albino. It had to be
Iniesta.
The cartoon featured today on Sport.es right expresses the anxiety we Barca fans have about
International breaks. It's not like we lost so much after International breaks, but there is no
denial that a number of our lackluster performance came following the break. But this time around
we shouldn't have such thoughts crossing our mind as the cartoon say "We got Andres Iniesta - The
Anti FIFA Virus Guys".

täglich abgebildet und da der Nico auch ein großer Fussballfan ist und gelegentlich sogar bei uns
hier mitliest, hat er uns wieder einmal einen kleinen Fussballcartoon für Euch mitgegeben. Also
viel Spass damit und besucht mal seine Webseite www.
Ronaldinho fühlt sich geehrt und auch vollkomen zu Recht. Ab dem nächsten Jahr soll Ronaldinho
eine eigene Sendung im italienischen Fernsehen bekommen, wobei er dort zwar die Hauptrolle spielt,
aber dafür nichts tun muss. Das ganze ist nämlich eine Zeichentrickserie über den kleinen
Ronaldinho Gaucho und zeigt, wie er so ein so guter Fussballer geworden [.
Antes de que los aficionados merengues me vayan aventar tomates, les aclaro que este monatje no
lo hecho yo, me lo han mandado al buzón de este espacio,todo por lo que ha ocasionado el
linchamiento del jugador Portugues Pepe y de las molestas declaraciones de Mourinho.
Siempre lo he dicho cine y futbol,una excelente combinación y este cartel se gana sus
estrellas.
The storming game at Stamford Bridge last night is likely to be remember for quite some time, if
only because YouTube exists.
Late in extra time, Chelsea holding onto their lead, and Didier gets a flying slap in the face
from absolutely no one. And then a cursory look around leads to a few more second on the
ground.
In Blank Generation, Richard Hell's notorious hymn to disaffected youth, the auteur claims himself
a ‘cartoon long forsaken by the public eye' – a totem for a column of society with nothing to
say and no voice with which to say it. It gets to the very core of why ‘punk' (the movement and
the statements, not the often desperate excuse for music) formed and proved pertinent anthems for a
section of that social grouping for whom God Save the Queen was less a call to arms and more the
snot nosed outpourings of a confused loon from North London.
This is the problem with using econometric analysis to identify causes within complex systems.
Yes, Kuper and Syzmanski are able to identify a few 10,000 foot correlations that are fairly
intuitive to begin with. But when the real work to identify the actual causes of something begins,
the equations and models are revealed to be cartoon depictions of reality bolstered by some smart
sounding phrases but demonstrating a frightening lack of subject knowledge depth.
Just when you thought the Kaká clan couldn't get any more sickening darn cute, someone made a
cartoon jigsaw of them. Where are you on the giggleometer, Kickettes? Â Image: Caroline's Twitter
