After seeing “Inception”, it made me realise that Leo DiCaprio is actually quite insane. Sure, he’s an actor and left me in terrible suspense this past evening, but I think his personal life doesn’t make sense either. Just look at this. He’s at an Argentina-Germany quarterfinal World Cup match in South Africa, with Mick Jagger, either yawning or gasping at the look on Mick Jagger’s face. Then again, one of them seems to be looking at an alternate reality, and my guess is that it’s not Leo.
And while we’re on topic, did you like the movie? I thought the ending was a bit harsh…
Need further proof that Diego Forlan is a legend?
Well the Uruguayan Golden Ball winner has been featured in the cartoon “Super Campeones”, and it is simply amazing. There’s Forlan scoring absurd goals, Muslera saving shots left and right, and then even Suarez gets in on the action with his infamous handball. Quality stuff.

Malicious Monday: Nigel De Jong’s Kung-Fu Kick on Xabi Alonso
Posted by Eric Beard
While Howard Webb really did an overall excellent job refereeing the World Cup Final, the Netherlands should have gone a man down in the first half. Nigel De Jong went absolutely mental and decided to give Spain’s Xabi Alonso a kick in the chest. How Xabi went on to play the rest of the game, I have no idea. De Jong should be ashamed of himself to make such a rash tackle, but he probably won’t be. After all, this isn’t the first time the Dutch midfielder has done something like this while wearing Oranje, just ask Stuart Holden….
From Paul the Octopus to Joachim’s Boogers, it’s the Seven Wonders of the World Cup 2010
By Darshan Joshi
We learn plenty over the course of a World Cup, don’t we? We realise the unimportant things, like the ability Germany have without Michael Ballack, like the fact that we’ll have a new World Cup winner this summer, like the fact that we’re all now going to have vuvuzelas line our attics, and like the fact that once and for all, we now know that the England national team are made up of a rubbish bunch of overpaid princesses.
Of course, none of that matters. We’re done with the World Cup, and it’s time to look back at seven of the brilliant events that have overshadowed this summer’s extravaganza.
Nike doesn’t write the future, Paul the Octopus does (and Mani the Parakeet!)
We’ve covered the curse of Nike’s wastefully overdone advertisement, but where one fails, another (two) succeed. Step up, Paul and Mani. They hail from opposing poles of the World but have pretty much one thing in common: they’re challenging the Lord. They may still be Gods of the animal kingdom, but to mess with humans like this? No way, we won’t stand for this.
Paul, the more mainstream of the two, is the story of the World Cup. He is the symbol of South Africa 2010. He correctly predicted all of Germany’s matches in the tournament, and also predicted Spain’s triumph over the Netherlands. Ladies and gentlemen, Paul the Octopus.
