Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie headed to Serbia earlier this week to get 'special' treatment for the torn ligaments in his ankle.

We didn't actually follow RVP all the way over, but our Eastern European correspondent (Croatian if you must ask) insists that this is exactly how Serbian witchdoctors administer placenta treatments to patients.

Nothing like a possible leaked kit that we've all been waiting to see. Avoiding The Drop posted these two photos below earlier in what looks like could be the US Men's National team's World Cup kits for next year.

What do you think of these two kits? I will admit I love seeing a red kit here.

Wow, wow, wow. What a game!

Like commenter Diane, I LOVE me some AJ Delagarza! Magee was fairly worthless with a horrible first touch for most of the match. Kirovski was brought in, why? Beckham did very well, but boy he was soooo tanked in overtime. I really felt for him and the others.

Oh, it's a good Friday indeed, Kickettes:

We've got two clips from behind-the-scenes at the now infamous Arsenal dressed as furry animals shoot for their charity campaign with the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Above, enjoy Theo Walcott as a lion getting a kiss from a little boy who doesn't remotely seem concerned about the giant predator head in his vicinity.

Spain new kit: nice, nice.

Russia new kit: awesome.

After the victory in Paraguay against Cerro Porteno, Fluminense players had to wait to leave the pitch. Angry with the result, the local fans started throwing rocks in the pitch.

The city of Alcorcón celebrated their shock victory over Real Madrid in style yesterday, as thousands lined the road to catch a glimpse of their heroes. Fans crowded around the team bus to welcome back their boys and we have to admit, it's certainly a beautiful image!

It's always sad when a death occurs in the football family.

Maybe Prime Minister Zapatero was right. It's good to see proverbial underdogs winning sometimes, and in a tournament like the Copa del Ray, upsets always seem to happen. Except we're talking about Real Madrid here and they're supposed to be formidable this season enough to cancel out their 26 year drought in this competition.

Germany's New Kit: well done.

Japan's New Kit: I want.

Readers and friends: I have never expected to make a living from this blog, but it has become a joy to write and edit over the past three years, taking up about 20 hours of my time per week. I'd like to be able to keep committing that much time, but it is getting increasingly hard to justify as I'm in grad school and I don't have any other income to speak of.

D.C. United defender Greg Janicki is asking for help in raising money for Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. He writes:

"A lot of you know I grew a ridiculously stupid mustache this year that was just for fun. Now I figured I might as well grow it back for a good cause throughout the month of November.

So it was Mask Wearing Extraordinaire, Martin Palermo's birthday yesterday (a November baby, like us. Now get running with that hint!) so Boca Juniors helped him to celebrate 36 years of his existence in this world.

Thiago Silva looks a little overwhelmed there, don't you think? ("So Pirlo, you want a hug too? Ok, let's widen the circle. Everybody make space") He scored twice in Milan's 2-1 win over Lazio yesterday, including an own goal for the visiting team!

Goals: Lyon (Pjanic 3, Govou 14, Lisandro 80, Lisandro pen 83, Bastos 90); Marseille (Diawara 11, Cheyrou 43, Kone 47, Brandao 79, Toulalan og 92)
Sanctions: Lyon (Makoun 20, Cris 54, Lisandro 86); Marseille (Niang 74, Diawara 87)

No words can adequately describe what will for sure end up being the match of the year.

Like all streakers, the one that invaded the pitch during Sunday's match between Hertha Berlin and Cologne had an important message to share with everyone.

Just kidding he was being a vulgar, self-important idiot and he went down like all the rest...

We had other plans for this space today, Kickettes.

But, our in-box wants what it wants. And this morning, we were emailed a set of Fernando Torres photos that involve him getting wet in the name of his PES 2009* advert. This sole situation would be enough to warrant our undivided attention, time and focus for at least three weeks.

This season has not started the best for Everton, so far they have been unable to recapture the form they showed last season in the league and  sit a lowly 13th. Couple this with two heavy defeats and the hands of Benfica in the Europa league and things aren't looking so rosy for David Moyes and his men.

I never thought I'd say it, but this is it the eyebrow of seduction is just too powerful. It needs to be reigned in and controlled like a military grade weapon. The UN needs to sanction it and ethics professors need to include discussion of its proper use in their curriculum. This simply cannot go on.
