There's something beautiful about watching soccer highlights played out by stop-motion Lego characters. It even makes a boring match such as England 0-0 Algeria look exciting. Watch the above video to see the highlights, which even includes Wayne Rooney's rant in front of the TV camera and the England fans booing.

With the news that controversial match official Koman Coulibaly has received a rating of "poor" after his expedited evaluation following his shocking display in the now infamous United States – Slovenia draw and is likely to be relieved of his World Cup duties on Monday it's time we shift our focus to the United States' […]

The final round of the group games saw several well fancied sides struggling for form and in danger of going out, but Group B's final game saw Ghana edge it 1-0 to progress with Ivory Coast in to the quarter finals. It had certainly been a weird group with Mali pulling out but eventually, the […]

Now that's what I call a tournament mascot. I don't need modern interpretations of peace, harmony and good will like the dreadful trio that South Korea and Japan gave us in 2002. Dreadful mascots and a dreadful tournament. I want giant animals or characters that can play football or playing football. This is Palanquina, who […]
