New 50p coin explains the offside rule

Bloody love this new 50p coin although I still don’t understand the offside rule!

Bad Footballer Haircuts

Now is it just me or does Waddle look like Jim Kerr – Hey, hey, hey ,hey, ohhh… …alive & kicking…

Geeky Google Goooooooal

This is REALLY geeky even by my standards. Search for “World Cup” in Google… Then check out the pagination at the bottom of the page – LOVE IT!

Football ice ‘cubes’

As Alan Partridge would say “back of the net”!  The best gadget (like ever) turns normal ice into soccer ball-shaped ice cubes (molecule-shaped molds are also available for geeks) via an UBER nerdy process.

Oh I LOVE – “that was classic intercourse”

World Cup poster

Designer David Watson of design studio Trebleseven sent in his colourful, typographic World Cup poster (detail shown above) to Creative Review. The front side of the poster (below) lists all the groups, A-H so you can clearly see which countries are in which group. A calendar runs down the right hand side listing chronologically all the matches to be played in the tournament. The artist says:

“I’ve created the poster to support Soccer Aid. The idea is simple: sales of the A1 double sided poster raises money for Soccer Aid – a British charity event which raises money for UNICEF“

MTV against football

I love this insane anti-world-cup advert from MTV (via Notcot) – I remember the pain of this giant fucked off hamster only too well…

When living with my ex we had ‘football rules’ pinned to the fridge which could ONLY be changed during transfer windows. His were pretty standard along the lines of; I am not allowed to ask questions during the match or that no “sexual distraction” techniques were allowed to be used to stop him concentrating on the game if I was bored. Mine were along the lines of; it makes no sense to pay for Sky Sports if you still insist on watching every game in the pub (don’t get me started on that one), or just because your brother is playing that does not make it a family activity it still counts as football.

Intergalactic World Cup (May 4th Repost)

THIS IS BLOODY BRILLIANT – have to say I particularly enjoyed Daft Punk and Ian Brown in this corker  (Thanks Tim!).

Or as a very good friend of mine said: Wow, I love that Star Wars Adidas short. Brown and Gallagher flipping beermats in the Cantina is genius.

Adidas Originals invites you to join David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, Ciara, Jay Baruchel, DJ Neil Armstrong and some of your dear, old friends for an intergalactic 2010 FIFA World Cup™ viewing party that you’ll never forget.

Puma – Journey of Football

This is a great video and posted as a mini-celebration I got out of going to St Mary’s today – though when I lived in Southampton they aimed a little higher than winning the Johnson’s Paint trophy (tee hee).

Binocular Football

Barbie Football

I have always wanted to kick Barbie… Barbie Table Football is from Chloe Ruchon, seen at DMY Berlin Design Festival 09 (via Design Boom).
