The Sin: For those of you who were wondering: yes, that is a miniature inflatable Skeletor. As regular readers know, I have christened Bob Bradley "Skeletor" due to the resemblance his bony visage shares with that of He-Man's nemesis. I don't mean the nickname as a slight, mind you, I just think both men share a sometimes wrathful look, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

Vale, you gotta admit that Baby Benjie is adorable but bears no resemblance to his grandpa, The Dona. He does however, look a lot like Kun Aguero. Speaking of your favourite Grammy award-winning singer, he has been included in the squad list for tomorrow's Madrid derby.

On paper the game tomorrow against 2nd bottom Peterborough should be an easy game. But football games are not played on paper, and we've already learned that in the Championship that any side can raise their game on the day, especially when they play Newcastle. And the opposing team's play bears no resemblance to their league position [. Click to continue reading...

Speaking of which, Wayne Rooney really needs a nickname. Due to his Shrek resemblance, I'm throwing 'The Big Green' into the mix. Click to continue reading...

This is, of course, Gianluigi Buffon. World Cup winner with Italy in 2006. Any resemblance to the creepy uncle you won't allow to babysit is entirely coincidental. (Photo: Reuters) (Thanks, Aaron!) Click to continue reading...

I think given that the Carling Cup has become little more than a nuisance for the top tier outfits with bigger fish to fry this was quite an exhilarating match between two sides eager to give their youthful talent a run out alongside first team bench warmers looking to impress their bosses.

And so to the League Cup, in some ways a chance to put the Stoke defeat behind us but these days the midweek cup bears little resemblance to the issues facing us or any Prem team in the league. From Everton's perspective a kick-about in the Goodison car park has a greater priority than this evening's [. Click to continue reading...

Stroking a cat... looking intently into multiple screens... we see more of a resemblance to Austin Powers than James Bond! Nevertheless, you know no one can pull this ad better than the furrrrrosh Fabregas. So go on, have a look...

Of course, I'm being a bit premature here. But, anyway, highlights from yesterday's reserves outing against Oldham, here.

And a compilation of Obertan's skills, here. Boy is he ugly although, with the ball at his feet, the Henry resemblance is uncanny.

Dirty, dirty Leeds. Dirty fucking Leeds. After reading David Peace's novel The Damned Utd these words cycled through my head for days. They work as an obsessive refrain in Peace's account of Brian Clough's infamous 44 days as the manager of (dirty, dirty) Leeds.

I knew nothing about Clough, Leeds, and this bizarre story before reading Peace's novel.

Scientists from a Spanish University have cloned some pigs and have named one of them after Kaka if this report is to be believed.They have even posted a picture and the resemblance is quite remarkable - right down to the Real Madrid uniform.However just in case the thing turns out to be an elaborate hoax you can check out the University of Murcia website here for confirmation.

Bryan Robson is currently sitting at home with a piece of A4 and the DVD playing non stop. What he's doing is learning the Thai players nicknames so when he arrives in a couple of weeks to formerly take charge he will have at least some idea of who will be in front of him.
Thai names are a mouthful with four, five, six or more syllables making them a real mouthful for us big noses. Click to continue reading...

Unlike countrymate Ronaldo, the Brazilian didn't get liposuction.
It appears as though he got his ears pinned back a bit.
That's the gossip from Spain, via The Spoiler.
Still creepy though, like that one dude from Star Trek (CLICK THIS LINK, the resemblance is mind-blowing). Click to continue reading...

Nick Green stole my takes.
As always, by "stole," I mean, "wrote it down before I did."
Here's how good Green's analysis is. We've been reading all week about how the US will deal with the incredible, intolerable heat of the Mexican summer. Huge factor, we were told.
So what does Nick do? Click to continue reading...

Santino Quaranta has had a bumpy last several years. I'll assume all our readers are familiar with his trials and travails so I won't rehash them here. But tonight at his home stadium, Santino Quaranta achieved redemption with his first international goal in his first call up in over three years.

The new HSV home jersey is manufactured by Adidas, and can be bought for 79.95 euros online. The shirt bears a resemblance to an outfit worn by the club [. Click to continue reading...

This is the second in our series of posts on the new stadium under construction in South Africa for World Cup 2010. See our previous post on Green Point Stadium.

South Africa's Wembley Stadium? With its soaring arches, Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium, currently under construction, certainly has a passing resemblance to London's white elephant.

The actual US Gold Cup 23-man roster was released this morning, and it only bears a passing resemblance to the preliminary roster that I and so many others posted last week. Here's the...

We spoke earlier of the vuvuzelas, the rather distinct sounding horns carried by the South African soccer faithful. No doubt you heard the cacophony of sounds throughout the broadcasts of the Confederations Cup matches, which bear a tormenting resemblance to the instruments played at matches for our neighbors to the south.

U.S. national team defender Frankie Hejduk has been ruled out for Wednesday night's World Cup qualifier vs. Costa Rica. U.S. coach Bob Bradley confirmed on Wednesday that Hejduk wouldn't be able to overcome the recent groin injury that has kept him out of action with Columbus.

Bradley also revealed that forward Jozy Altidore is fit enough to start for the U.

Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni is sure Nigeria will provide tough opposition in their friendly at Craven Cottage on Friday.
The Italian is hoping for a meaningful test before the World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria on 6 June.
Trapattoni said "It's a very difficult game and a good test for some new players. Click to continue reading...

The past few days have seen the headlines, perhaps not dominated, but certainly bothered by two tackles. Both resulted in straight reds, both came when the game was already dead and buried, but neither bore any resemblance whatsoever to the other.

It is difficult to envisage two players with less in common than Joey Barton and Darren Fletcher.

Haven't we done this already?

For the third time since the start of the MLS season, the Galaxy will take on the Colorado Rapids. This will be the second MLS tilt with a US Open Cup match thrown in in the middle. So far the Galaxy is perfect. 0-2.

The first game, you will remember, was the horrific 3-2 beat down in which the Galaxy defense gifted Connor Casey a hat trick.

Love him or hate him, US President Barack Obama appears to be ubiquitous these days. If he's not actually in a town or football stadium near you, one of his imitators might be.

Cristian Rodriguez is one of the three forwards Man Utd will have to watch out for on Wednesday.

It was a brave move from FC Porto boss Jesualdo Ferreira to play three forwards against Manchester United in the first leg, but it was the right move. If they play like they did in that game then they will cause even more problems for United's defence this week.

Every little kid dreams of scoring the winning goal for their favorite football club. On Sunday at Old Trafford, that dream became reality for one kid.

After a Gabriel Agbonlahor goal put Aston Villa up 2-1 in the 58th minute, Sir Alex turned to an unsuspecting bench player. Federico Macheda, a mere 17-year-old Italian boy, was given his first playing time for United in one of Manchester United's biggest matches of the season.
