WORLD CUP ONE TWOS
FLIP SIDE OF THE FLAG
Ireland aren't at the World Cup, France beat them to the finals with an infamous handball from Thierry Henry. But the Irish flag was still being flown at the Brazil-Ivory Coast game. Curious about the Celtic connection the German Press Agency interrogated the flag bearer. Hirns out he was South African and got his flags back to front. Ivory Coast's is striped orange, white and green; Ireland's has the same colours in reverse.
MONKEYBUSINESS
According to the monkey at Chemnitz zoo, Germany are going out of the World Cup. Anton, the resident marmoset at the zoo in Eastern Germany went for the raisins from the "Ghana hand" of his zoo keeper and not the ones in the left hand representing Germany. German fans should not be too concerned by this particular animal oracle; previous zoo pundits have got their predictions completely wrong. Porcupine Leon predicted an Australian victory over Germany and hippo Petty a German win over Serbia.
ADS STILL FLOWING
FOR BALLACK
Michael Ballack may not be playing for Germany at the World Cup but the injured captain is present on the nation's TV in various ads. An online travel agent has swiftly adjusted its campaign and shows Ballack with a cast on his leg looking for a holiday destination. But the 33-year-old can also be seen in
another ad running through an airport terminal, clearly made before he was injured on May 16 in the FA Cup final.
ALL-RED FOR ENGLAND
England will take the unusual step of wearing an all-red strip for the crunch match with Slovenia.
And here's the good news; they have never lost in the outfit.
England have historically worn red shirts with white shorts and red socks as an away strip option, occasionally going for navy blue shorts when white ones have clashed.
But they will go for the all-red option at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday for what isthoughttobe just the fifth time in Three Lions history.
ANELKA MUM TILL IT'S OVER
Nikolas Anelka was kicked out of the French World Cup squad after he verbally abused coach Raymond Domenech in the 2-0 defeat to Mexico on Friday which left the 1998 champions teetering on the brink of elimination.
The Chelsea striker, who arrived back in London on Monday, will not speak publicly about what happened until France finish their World Cup campaign.
"His club told him to say nothing for the moment, it's best that he waits until the end of the World Cup before talking," Claude Anelka, brother of Nikolas told RTL radio.
"He doesn't want to make things worse and it's best for the French team to finish hoping they can go as far as possible in the tournament before clarifying everything If om A to Z.
"My brother is a calm, kind guy. Something happened, but we'll have to wait until he gives a press conference so that he can give his side if the story."
SWISS CHEESE HARD
TO BREAK
It will not be much consolation to defeated Switzerland but they now hold the record for keeping a clean sheet in World Cup group matches. When Chile’s Mark Gonzalez beat Swiss goalkeeper Diego Benaglio for the 1-0 winner in the 75th minute the Swiss had not been scored against in 559 minutes. That beat the previous record of 550 minutes from Italy.
WRONG GAME TO BROADCAST
North Korea made good on its promise to carry the World Cup clash with Portugal live but a hall of goals from the European side left the commentator speechless, South Korean media reported Tuesday.
The communist state's Korean Central TV Broadcasting Station had aired recorded footage of the team's first group match against Brazil.
The North, making their first World Cup appearance for 44 years and ranked lowest among the finalists, put up a dogged defence against the fivetime champions from South America before going down 1-2.
Apparently encouraged, the station aired Monday evening's game in real time — reportedlythefirst-ever live World Cup broadcast in the soccer-mad nation.
