DirecTV Colombia inserts Atletico Madrid's Falcao into 300/the way Pepe actually sees football matches. [YouTube]

Speaking of Pepe, here's Crackovia's fake Pepe singing a parody of Michel Telo's "Ai Si Eu Te Pego" about stomping Messi.

Bienvenida a Friday Crackovia Club! This is where the best football sketch show in Catalonia gets its own personal space simply because you need to be reminded of how brilliant it is. This week, Cristiano Ronaldo gets all emotional at a press conference, where he later breaks into a song (channeling Sade, one of his favourite singers, perhaps?

The Friday Crackovia Club!

Welcome to the Friday Crackovia Club, a weekly cap on Catalonia's Best Comedy Football Show. If you haven't heard of these guys yet, be very ashamed because they're in a class of their own! This week, the Madrid players are a little 'loony' from playing their early noon fixture against Osusuna with Sergio Ramos still munching on his oily (but delicious!

Well, none of us expected that and, such was the imperiousness of Manchester City's performance at Old Trafford this afternoon the thesauruses have already been wrung dry as the internet groans under the weight of the superlatives being thrown at Roberto Mancini's team. This was a performance for the ages, one which will come to eclipse some of the club's most famous performances against Manchester United, such as their 5-1 win at Maine Road in 1989 or their win at Old Trafford on the last day of the 1973/74 season.

It's a FIFA 12 parody video people, and very droll it is too...

So ... since it was a topic rife for parody let's just dig in and have a big, fat, life-affirming laugh at LeBron James first trip to Anfield, err, Anfield Stadium. For whatever the reason LeBron, the master of the McNugget, getting the proper name of the home ground to a club he allegedly owns a percentage of made me laugh to no end.

100% Bent We brought you footage of Premier League parody Jason Bent as far back as 2009. Alas he's since taken a backseat to comedian Simon Brodkin's nauseating other creation Lee Nelson. But Bent still makes the occasional appearance. This week he's been interviewed for Football Focus by Robbie Savage.

It's Friday, which could only mean one thing (no, please don't take out your glittery party suits yet the night is still young!) It's Crackovia's time to eat your screens! In the footage above, Pep Guardiola is abducted, forced into an astronaut costume and sent on a mission to 'save the world' by the government.

Dallatasaray. If you don't know or get the parody, there's more football than just England, Italy, Spain and Germany.
You know what I like about the rain. When I'm indoors. I appreciate dryness, roofs, umbrellas, hats. They're brilliant. Really. This has to be one of the worst weather/luck scenarios at least in this team's history.

Brisket Bob made his debut when Sporting KC defeated the Portland Timbers 3-1 Wednesday night. Brisket Bob was a fun parody of one of the best traditions in American Soccer, Timber Joey. Dating back to the late 1970's when Timber Jim started sawing slabs off of huge logs inside the stadium whenever a Portland player scores.

We're 17 games into Philadelphia Union's first season, and the team is a point out of first place with two games in hand.

Surprised? Not us. PSP predicted the Union would have 29 points at this stage of the season over a month before a game was played. Careful scrolling on our page today because we are hot.

There are defining moments when a spotlight is shone into a world and all of a sudden everything is seen in brutal daylight....like the lights going up in the nightclub so everyone can see who it is they've been dancing with then trudge bleary eyed to the exit shaking their heads. Northern Rock and Lehman Brothers brought the suicidally greedy, debt-addicted bankers to their senses, the MPs expenses scandal presented us with a scandal that was beyond parody as we saw how the noses were in the troughs.

So far, Copa America has been a dud. Only a little more than 1 goal per game has been the average. It`s not just the lack of goals making for a dissappointing show so far, also, it is the lack of innovative and skilled play, which has been associated with South American Soccer for decades, that is making the viewing experience surprisingly stale.

An Open Letter to Carlos Tevez - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Dear Carlos Tevez,

For five years now you've been a shedload of trouble for the entire English Premier League. With this letter, I'd like to invite you to please stop moaning about the loneliness of Northern England and return to Argentina as you have for so long suggested you'd prefer.

I found this video by accident on You Tube today and was wondering if anybody has any idea in which football match this incident took place. A police dog runs on to the pitch and disrupts play at a football match much to the amusement of the crowd. In a parody of the much chanted "Fergie, Fergie, sign him up!

This episode is led by Megan and Kirsten as they wonder about the Vancouver Whitecaps' and Chicago Fire's decisions to fire their head coaches, and they question Koke's resolve after the ex-Dynamo striker decided to call it quits in Houston after five weeks. Kirsten wonders why Andrew Oliver was dismissed from the U-17 national team (made up completely of Bradenton players) ahead of the U-17 World Cup.

- Keith Hickey FIFA has become a parody of itself, a farce. By associating ourselves with these crooks and saying nothing, we are complicit in their crimes against the sport and against every fan who takes joy from it. Trusted with safeguarding the sport, they have instead turned it into their whore.

I've been a good fan: sticking with the French through the decade since 1998, through ups and downs and waves of absurdity. I managed to get through the experience and the aftermath of the 2006 World Cup, though it did take writing an entire book about the history of French soccer to do so. I hobbled through the Shakespearean tragedy of 2008 European Cup, watching my hero Thuram outrun and outfoxed in one game, then exiled to the bench for his final match for France.

Below is A parody of Andy Carroll's outrageous move to Liverpool from Newcastle, which cost them a mighty £35 million pounds. The fee makes him the most expensive British footballer and the eighth most expensive player of all time. Yikes!

Turns out Andy Gray and Richard Keys aren't the only high-profile media departures this week. In fact, they pale in comparison to the loss of Sven, since he actually brings something to the table.

The show's a parody, but there's truth involved, as it's alarming how many in football don't know the offside rule not including a certain female official.

If ever there was a time to be putting a bit of fun back into the world of football broadcasting it's now. Step forward Kay Murray, described in various quarters as an intelligent, articulate, witty, talented and experienced TV presenter.
Known to her legion of fans on her blog and Twitter feed as Football Barbie - a parody of her real self, such a moniker could not be further from the truth - Murray works for Real Madrid TV and appears on numerous football podcasts and radio shows.

Being coach of Seattle, I'm supposed to despise everything that comes out of Portland. But whatever. I'm a carpetbagger. And I like Portland's marketing because I actually remember it and I'm not a fan of the team. Also, they know how to leverage old-style media with the web. The billboard in Seattle?

There are good YouTube videos. Then there are great YouTube videos. Then, above that, there are classic YouTube videos that will go down in history. This Brett Favre video qualifies in that third class. It's a parody of LeBron James Nike commercial. But it's so amazingly well done and hilarious that it succeeds on its own.

Whatever optimism may have been brought about amongst the red half of Liverpool by the appointment of Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool's performance at Old Trafford last weekend, the fervour quietened just a little during the week at Bloomfield Road, when a performance as insipid as anything seen under Roy Hodgson saw them capitulate to Blackpool for the second time this season.
