I'm sure you have heard about Coke Zero Wayne Rooney's Street Striker show. We also
showed you the little stunt Rooney pulled where he's dribbling (kind of) through a bunch of
randomly rolled tires (if not, click here). We got hold of more of the clippings of the show.
Soccerlens now presents, behind the scenes of Coke Zero Wayne Rooney's Street Striker:

NB. Turn your phone off before attending Ipswich press conference Roy Keane's latest press
conference proved to be rich pickings for the journos in attendance. Not only was he very outspoken
in his criticism of the Republic of Ireland's protests over Thierry Henry's handball, he also took
the opportunity to petrify some of the hacks.

Should Georgia get a replay? Roy Keane reckons the Republic of Ireland could not have expected
their game against France to be replayed on the grounds of Thierry Henry's handball. The Ipswich
manager launched a scathing attack against the Football Association of Ireland for their protests
following the match, and accused them of hypocrisy on the [.

A short and fun interview with Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown, courtesy of talksport.
Did you know that Wes Brown was playing for United back in 1999? The lad gets very little credit
for all the hard work he puts in.
So where do you see Rio in 6 months?

...Or at least if you had just read the reactions from the fans and trigger-happy journalists,
you'd think this is what Henry had actually done:
On a serious note, the 'victims' the Irish team have been refreshingly objective about the
situation and have laid the blame squarely on the horrible refereeing and to a much lesser extent
on their own poor finishing as the real reasons why the French and not the Irish are headed to
South Africa.

The new spaghetti legs This goalie thought he could give his side, Hartford, the edge in their
penalty shootout against Stony Brook Sea Wolves by rolling out his party trick. The crazy keeper
cartwheeled back and forth along his goal-line as the opposition prepared to take their spot-kicks.
Unfortunately for him the antics had little effect, and [.

Offside and handball, but the goal stands If I was Irish I would be waking up this morning a very

Another fan forgets that these goals don't count Previous pitch invader goals have included a
sweetly struck penalty and a nice team move. This looked more like a Gaelic football goal than
anything. Also, if OTP was partaking in such tomfoolery we don't think our venue of choice would be

Although people actually made attempts to tackle Maradona Mads Hansen recently scored what is
probably the best Norwegian Second Division goal we have ever seen. Then again, it might just be
the only Norwegian Second Division goal we have ever seen. Nonetheless, enjoy Mads' mad dribble.

But a very effective one Liverpool striker David Ngog saved Rafa Benitez's blushes by cheating to
win his side a penalty against Birmingham last night. Steven Gerrard converted the spot-kick to
salvage a draw and avoid yet another embarrassing defeat. The Blues were fuming, with ex-Evertonian
Lee Carsley protesting that he had not made contact with Ngog.

Wazza gets a warning Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has been warned over his future conduct

It seems this generation that grew up playing FIFA/Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer and

scoring it.
