Self-promoting but I saw this kids' footie magazine in Argentina and is belongs here rather than anywhere else:

Wayne Rooney is The Thing by alan.stephen, on Flickr

Cristiano Lightyear! La Mole Rooney! Ben Messi 10! and, um, Scott Parker.

love that scott parker made the cover but has so much dignity that they didn't turn him into a cartoon.

That's what caught my eye, but I think the bit I love is Tikipedia.

this happened to me once. you can't imagine.

worked out well for the lad kicking him, cos a swing and a miss can end up being painful too

I want that choking/laughing picture for my desktop. Who are they?

i tried to find a better version too. it's leicester vs. sunderland ca. 2000. far right is kevin philips.

l-r is matt elliott, niall quinn, gerry taggart, darren eadie (i think!), kevin phillips

not sure where to put this etc but it's cool http://areimages.tumblr.com/post/22620313703/posters-of-all-the-champions-of-the-fifa-world-cup

Those posters are so great. I didn't know Uruguay had black players in their two winning teams, for some reason I always thought those Brazil sides blew the doors open.

Also Paolo Rossi is one cool guy. Christian Karambeu and Roberto Carlos not so much. I pity the whole France team actually, standing there in those shirts.

yeah 1930 integration wasn't something i'd known either, wonderful to see of course.
54 germany are something too, not sure what exactly

Yeah they look like gods. That's exactly the angle you want to be photographed from I reckon.

italy '34 had some real fatties. the good old days. can't believe a mustache didn't win the world cup until 1978.

that isnt the france 98 final team, which was:

GK 16 Fabien Barthez
RB 15 Lilian Thuram
CB 8 Marcel Desailly Yellow cardYellow cardRed card 48', 68'
CB 18 Frank Leboeuf
LB 3 Bixente Lizarazu
DM 7 Didier Deschamps (c) Booked in the 39th minute 39'
CM 17 Emmanuel Petit
CM 19 Christian Karembeu Booked in the 56th minute 56' Substituted off in the 57th minute 57'
AM 10 Zinedine Zidane
AM 6 Youri Djorkaeff Substituted off in the 74th minute 74'
CF 9 Stéphane Guivarc'h Substituted off in the 66th minute 66'
Substitutes:
MF 14 Alain Boghossian Substituted on in the 57th minute 57'
FW 21 Christophe Dugarry Substituted on in the 66th minute 66'
MF 4 Patrick Vieira Substituted on in the 74th minute 74'

Note no Thierry Henry. You see footage of that side nowadays and it's usually edited to make him look like a main man.

you sure you aren't thinking of 2000?

I've seen a documentary on 98 that keeps cutting to him at every opportunity (in fairness he was only young, and did come on & score in earlier games) without showing Guivar'c'h at all.

Philippe Auclair says Cantona was offered the no.9 role a year before the finals (he was in exile at the time) but froze and could barely even refuse it. Mentally he'd already departed.

coolest looking squad is 78 argentina

browsing thru tumblr reminded me, if ever i needed reminding, that bayern are HUGE

not just in germany and other countries, but on the internet, where ppl called things like 'kingpoldi' make gifs of every available bit of bayern footage

hahaha. Cincinatti Reds cap, Mickey Mouse sweat, AND a gang sign. Respect.

doesnt get more manuel neuer than that

yeah i imagine him and joe hart occupying the same cordoned off vip area in the 4th circle of hell

Wait what trophy is that? They haven't won anything yet. I'm uncomfortable with the hubris vibe these photos are throwing off.
