David Beckham may not be playing in the world cup, but his profile is as high as ever due to him grimacing on the english bench in his M&S three piece suit. So, this is the perfect time to launch a comic biopic of his life story. Besides the ropey art, the comic also has such winning dialogue as this from Gary Neville, "We'll form a formidable right sided partnership for United and England. And one day I'll be his best man". You really should read it. It's absolutely bonkers. Seven page preview is here.

Sports Illustrated has put together a list of the worst sides ever to play in a World Cup. All of them suck, of course, but my favourite are the Dutch East Indies who are the only team to play only one game in the competition being hammered 6-0 by Hungary in what was then a straight knockout.

The GAA have made the draw for the first round of qualifiers to be played next Saturday. Pick of the litter is Donegal versus Armagh. Meanwhile Kilkenny left half back John Tennyson will miss next weeks game against Dublin with a quad strain.
Former Chelsea player Adrian Mutu will have to pay Chelsea 17m Euros following his positive test for cocaine in 2004, and the resultant suspension. His final appeal to the Swiss Federal Court has failed. It's hard to see him coming up with the cash though, as he is currently suspended for, yes you guessed it, a doping violation.

Finally, this a little old, but I hadn't seen it. Gift Grub and former Setanta Sports impressionist has brough his Special One to BBC3. It's really quite good. My Favourite bits; "World Cup is just for countries. I am champion of entire continent." and "Look at the chart Sven. You are king of the pimps". Enjoy.
