The coach was wearing a cardigan!

JogiLoew

Has football gone mad? In Germany's World Cup clash with Serbia, their coach Jogi Loew, and his assistant were dressed in cardigan's. Yes, matching knitted, button up cardigans. What idiot designer told them that would be a good look? Is it an attempt to return us to the 70s, again? I don't know if the cardigan sapped more of his credibility, or the team's loss to Serbia. And if that wasn't bad enough, he was spotted by the cameras watching Ghana, wearing a duffel coat and possibly a roll necked pullover.
Anyway that's enough about the German's.
Down in Durban the Japanese Keeper was beaten by a ball that appeared to swing. Now some may blame the new ball, but if they asked the cricketers of Durban, they're convinced it has more to do with the tide being in. Cricketers may be superstitious but at least there coaches dress sensibly.

In football image is everything

An image transformation may have seen Argentina's fortune change in the World Cup. Their coach Diego Maradona has changed from a trainers tracksuit to a fine suit. He now looks the part and they won their first match! The beard he sports also lends an air of knowledgeable sophistication.
The best hair that I've seen this tournement so far goes to Cameroon defender Assou Ekotto with what look like bundled up dreadlocks. I suspect looking at his many bald teammates that not all of the hair is his. 

England Keeper's Howler

England's first match in the FIFA World Cup provided great amusement as they drew with the USA. Their Keeper, Green, glumly acknowledged his mistake during the match after letting through the equaliser. Hopefully for the next match the selectors pick a keeper who does not have a large hole in his middle.
