FLIPPIN' OUCH
Not just happy with a bad knock to the head, Javier Mascherano tore his anus against the Dutch
Javier Mascherano may have been an absolute hero against the Netherlands but it came at a cost to the Barcelona midfielder – he tore his anus while defending a shot from Arjen Robben.
The 30-year-old had to be taken off in the first half after suffering a clash of heads with Georginio Wijnaldum, battling back superbly to put in a man of the match performance.
In a game of very few chances, Robben came closest to opening the scoring towards the end but his shot was blocked by the outstretched leg of Mascherano.
Unfortunately for the former Liverpool man, the consequences were just a little bit dire.

Hillsborough charity bike ride van raided outside Anfield
Six cyclists from Limerick were due to take part in Ride for the 96 to St Helens.
Hillsborough fundraisers had their bikes, passports and money stolen by sick thieves – just yards away from Anfield stadium.
Six friends travelled to Liverpool from Ireland to take part in today’s Ride for the 96, a charity bike ride which is being held in St Helens. But their van was raided as they went on a tour of Anfield yesterday. Their bikes, which are each worth up to €3,000, together with passports, clothes, a satnav and a quantity of money were all taken by the thieves while their van was parked in Venmore Street.
Liam Mulcahy, one of the cyclists, blasted the crooks. He said: “We parked up literally across the road from Anfield. “When we got back all our bikes were gone. “The thieves took everything – our money, passports, even our jeans and socks.” The window of the van was smashed around noon, it is believed. Mr Mulcahy added: “I am a Liverpool fan and I’ve been over from Ireland 11 times before. “This is a real kick in the teeth. “Hillsborough is an important cause for me, but for a moment this made me feel like never coming back to Liverpool. “We had been planning this trip for four months so it’s pretty devastating that this has happened.”
Mr Mulcahy travelled to Ireland by ferry with his friends Gerry Finn, Richie Cleary, Barry O’Byrne, Stephen O’Meara and Pat Culligan. The Ride for the 96 is a 96km course that starts and finishes at the Sutton Leisure Centre in St Helens.
It begins at 10am. Chief Inspector Chris Hitchell, from Merseyside Police, said: “This is an absolutely terrible thing to happen to anyone visiting our city. “But it is made worse by the fact that this group are here to raise money for charity and a cause which is dear to so many Liverpudlians’ hearts.”

SUAREZ VERDICT
9 Premier League games, 1 Capital One Cup game and 3 Champions League games.
Always supposing he doesn't do something silly in the meantime .....
Whoa ....... almost did it again there ..... it's habit forming I guess.
Problem sorted by Paddy Power ..........
It makes more sense than what John Aldridge says ....... 'Liverpool will make sure this doesn't happen again .................................... again !'

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUTCH .........
He's only gone and done it again .... this time in front of 1 billion viewers
Things are bad when Joey Barton cannot find it in himself to defend you .... 'I love Suarez. I love his passion for the game. I would have him on my team everyday of the week. I am also aware you cannot defend him here' ....... Joseph Barton

LIKE THE FOOTIE BUT CAN'T HANDLE THE COMMENTARY ?
Is listening to the likes of Phil Neville and Robbie Savage spouting nonsense getting you down ?
Try this ............................ nonsense
“I have to say… I really hate football,” says Peter Serafinowicz at half time in his latest venture: World Cup 2014 commentary. Joined by actor, Lewis MacLeod and entrepreneur alter ego, Brian Butterfield, this is the perfect antidote to World Cup fever.
With this new medium, Serafinowicz has reached the pinnacle of satire. I stumbled across it on Twitter, ten minutes into the Ghana v USA match. I duly turned it on, muted the TV, and clicked the commentary link. His commentator character knows nothing about real football, talking instead about things like ‘multi-ball’, “a man on the floor with a twisted beard,” and the referee’s nipple problems; anything to avoid the desperate information football fans are issued during normal commentary. As I listen, MacLeod is talking about the golden goal (a kind of extra time in case of a draw - I like to keep abreast of the basics), followed by the jade goal … and the amethyst goal …
Here's a taste of what you get
“This is the 2014th World Cup.”
'That was a good kick .... that was a great kick .... and the flag has gone up to say that was a wonderful kick ........ That's two points there for that kick'
'There are over 25 layers of rainbow coloured paint ... reds, yellows, blues, blacks ..... all the colours of the rainbow .... and then it's topped off with a white .... so when the ball starts to get worn down, you can see a bit of colour .... that's when they know it's time over for the ball'
'Hang on ..... they've changed sides' ............ 50:45
'The balls gone in to the audience again'
'I like the American players in their uniforms .... they remind me a bit of Star Trek .... Nanu Nanu'
Try this ............................ nonsense

Monty Python release unofficial England football anthem for Brazil 2014 World Cup
Unashamedly pessimistic about the team’s chances in Brazil, the comedy troupe have added an extra verse to help fans keep cheerful even as England inevitably “go and let you down”.
The new verse, sung by Idle, goes: “When you're in The World Cup, And all your hopes are up, And everybody wants their team to win. “Then they go and let you down, And come slinking back to town, It's time for this daft song to begin.”
