Unbelievable, Goffredo Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve, the presenter of the Italian
version of Soccer Saturday takes the viewers on an emotional rollercoaster. It is safe to safe the
bloke in question is an AC Milan fan, and Tuesday night's defeat to Tottenham was a particularly
tough shift for him.
ESPN: Experts at Sidetracking Players Needlessly Normally professional footballers are creatures of
habit before matches, systematically working their way through carefully honed pre-match routines.
But not Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale. He spent part of his pre-match warm-up hovering behind
ESPN's crazy pitchside desk to see if they were showing the highlights of an excellent golf [.
Crocked 'baller gets face full of backside Occasionally footballers are placed on a stretcher after
picking up an injury only to find themselves in worse condition when they eventually make it off
the pitch than before their stretcher journey. Take this Brazilian player, for instance, who has to
endure a very close inspection of the [.
Fantastic festive cheese La Liga outfit Villarreal have thrown themselves wholeheartedly into the
Christmas festivities by putting together this video featuring some of their star players. The
squad get together for a Christmas meal (naturally prepared by Italian chef Giuseppe Rossi if the
Spanish do one thing well, it's stereotyping) and singsong.
Safety first The Instituto AC Cordoba keeper inadvertently took a very cautious approach when
taking this goal-kick. Normally an 'anywhere will do' approach is acceptable when clearing the ball
from the penalty area. But you don't really expect to concede a corner when the clearance in
question is from a goal-kick!

A unique way of livening up a dull match We are not sure where or when this footage comes from
(although looking at the advertising hoardings it seems to be Spain), but it is sure to brighten up
this pretty grim day for you. With the action on the pitch not exactly enthralling, the very [...]

Birthday celebrations turn a little sour On my tenth birthday I had a football party, accompanied
by the inevitable four footballs and three pairs of shinpads as presents. The occasion was soured
when two of my friends squared up after a challenge (I was ten, so this wasn't exactly Millwall v
West Ham).

Ref goes down quicker than a Rooney escort An injury to a referee is on a list with ball boys
falling over and Nani getting booked for diving for things that we like to see. What makes the
injury to Cleber Abade more funny is that he squeals like a little piglet as he is [...]

Doesn't necessarily fit the bill It has been a strange old celebrations, with teams from Iceland,
Finland and Japan resorting to the weird and the wonderful to celebrate goals (what happened to the
good ol' handshake?) However, Santiago Silva of Velez Sarsfield might have just lowered the tone.
After scoring a penalty against Colon, Silva [.
Swedish actor acts as conductor to rowdy crowd Alexander Skarsgard is not a no name. He is the star
of True Blood, Generation Kill and Battleship. He is a Hollywood actor. So what on earth is he
doing swinging from a pole conducting football chants? And more importantly, how does he look so
cool and [.

Jovial stadium opening turns into political grudge match Getting your country's president to open
your new pitch is probably quite a coup wherever you live. But getting him to round up a team of
political allies and pitching them against members of the opposition party is asking for trouble.
And so it proved in Bolivia, [.
A move to Rapid Boob-carressed on the cards? It should have been a proud moment for Bibiana
Steinhaus. It was her first appearance on live television as a referee, and she had been doing a
fine job until the 55th minute. All she would have been hoping for is a lack of sexist innuendo in

Any chance of City getting one for Balotelli? Is it the first of its kind? We have now tasted the
future, and it is interactive football banners. I received a little bit of stick over American
jibes at the weekend, but this gets my compliments rushing back. It is the work of Chicago Fire
fans, [...]

Paul Mitchell not with Mark Noble Shame on MOTD reporter Paul Mitchell who introduced an interview
with West Ham midfielder Mark Noble only to find his interviewee corrected him and pointing out
that he was actually Scott Parker. Mitchell mumbles something about being told he was interviewing

England boss gets touchy feely Fabio Capello's camp side came to the fore following Darren Bent's
late goal against Switzerland last night. Upon seeing the Sunderland striker find the net, the
Italian felt the need to start stroking his backroom staff and stick his tongue out at them. He
stops just short of trying to [.
Oh, yes! You've died and gone to Madron heaven This footage comes from the BBC's Inside Out South
West programme and the Madron action starts 10mins 50 secs into the video above. Not only is there
plenty of match highlights so that you can judge for yourself exactly where the Cornish village
side's defending is [.
