From that vantage point the guy looks a bit like Christian Slater, but it won't actually be him. Beyond that, no idea. Another clue?

Timberlake looks like a ShadowScene hipster. NOT THAT NERD FROM N*SYNC

I'll be needing a clue about now, please.

What's the Chinese one with the pig heads? I'm serious, does anyone know the one I mean?

Good for Porto, great for "football in general". Nice to see Man Utd concede a late goal for a change, usually they manage to sneak in a few during the obligatory six minutes of added time they get when things aren't going so well.

Correct!

Halcyon days, an infinitely more interesting time with a superior batch of top models leading the line.

astronomer, you should be more proud of Canada's footballing heritage. I was a witness to the Rogers Sports coverage of the last World Cup and was in awe of the articulate punditry of former Ipswich Town goalkeeper Craig Forrest. They may always struggle at playing the game well, but Canada to me is the world champion of rational, thoughtful football commentary.

I like her but some of these shoots are either bad (the beach one) or they're just too same ol' same ol'. I mean Vanity Fair and GQ shoot actresses virtually the same every time, its so boring.

Whoops, forgot about this. Guess this is what happens if you go for an oldie. The answer is The Appaloosa. That's a bearded Marlon Brando, folks!

Yes! Another trip to Berlin, another away day glory. You might say I've got that Freiday feeling! And Wolfsburg went and tonked Bayern 5-1! All in the same week that Lukas Podolski gave Michael Ballack a slap! Großartig!

Ha, I didn't notice you'd just put the picture up. Go me!

No Belgium? Call my travel agent, I'm not going to the World Cup without 'em!

True story: Andrei Kanchelskis once winked at me, in a completely wholesome way, at a pre-season friendly back in the glorious summer of 1994. This was about four months after he'd been sent off in the League Cup final against Villa, the turning point of a game we went on to win. Good ol' Andrei...

My favourite one yet... Footballers who look like lesbians Ex-Man Utd star Andrei Kanchelskis

Don't be silly, nobody in Newcastle can read or write.

SKRTEL I like Skrtel, he looks like the kind of guy you'd approach to buy you alcohol when you're under-age. You're never really friends but you do attend some awful house party he invites you to, where he impresses you by drinking a pint of his own vomit. Basically, someone you wouldn't want to be brothers-in-law with. Perfect central defender material.

I didn't even know who England were playing until I just-this-minute looked it up. SLOVAKIA! IN A FRIENDLY! Oooh sorry guys, can't go out Saturday night, gotta watch the big match! Sure I could swing by afterwards but I'll probably be blogging about how amazing the match was instead!

If Man Utd are the "wounded gazelle" that must make us the leper infested kitten.

Because I know Ed likes 'em and to show no hard feelings re: Liverpool's inevitable destruction of the soon to be 6th placed Aston Villa, I'll sneak in a Sunday bonus edition of... Footballers who look like lesbians Scotland legend Colin Hendry
