Nigeria team lost its international activity for two years

This seems to be the World Cup favorite joke!

Vuvuzelas and the hearing lost

A recent test carried out by the University of Pretoria showed the a Vuvuzelas top peek reaches 144 decibels! That means if you are exposed to these levels for 10,15, 20 minutes continuously, you are exposing yourself to a definite risk in noise-induced hearing loss.

Can you just imagine the noise level at a 2010 match?

You might be surprised, but sometimes simple tasks that you've done a million times before just don't work out as you might expect. So, for Brazilian side Internacional's Kleber, the most difficult task in the world on Thursday was kicking (or not kicking) a stationary ball.

Kleber was playing against Corinthians and during the match was faced with the duty of taking a free kick in fantastic position to score. He lined it up and went for the follow through, but then things go haywire. Judging by his charging teammate, it was supposed to be a fake, but judging by how close Kleber cuts it with his booming kick, it's almost like he couldn't decide whether to take the shot himself or set up his teammate. So, he only mostly missed and the ball just kind of dribbled sideways.

The worst news Corinthians won 2-0.

English team and the lost pillow mystery

English team was surrounded by mystery. People saw Wayne Rooney carrying a pillow inside the airplane to Soputh Africa, but at the and of journey, they saw the pillow in the Wright-Phillips arms.

A row has broken out over whether Germany's World Cup stars should be forced to sing the national anthems before games.

The coach Joachim Löw told Bild yesterday: "Our guys totally identify with the national team and with Germany. But you also need to think of their origins".

Löw meant that many of his squad members were born in Germany but have roots in other countries, including Like Lukas Podolski whose family comes from Poland, Sami Khedira (Tunisia), Mesut Özil and Serdar Tasci (Turkey), Dennis Aogo (father from Nigeria) or Jerome Boateng (father from Ghana).
