Speaking of Brazil, former Man Utd icon Anderson makes his debut and has a penalty saved.

Commentator for some reason shouts 'tomato'.

[Rafael]

I rewatched this video about 20 times and I'm still trying to figure out what he actually said.

[brenchill]

He said tomato.

[Baddar]

Didn't Nani miss a pen on his Sporting return too?

Pretty sure he missed a pen, got booked and subsequently subbed.

Melbourne City and former Chelsea star Damien Duff's career could be over at the age of 35 after damaging his calf and ankle.

[Thrilla]

A sad day.

[9 to 5]

Duff is the nicest of all Blackburn players past and present I have met.

[brenchill]

Robben and Duff were the best wingers.

[Lineker]

Noted Worcester City player, BROCK LESNAR.

[Liam]

Can't you at least get them to change it to 'Angry player 'belly to back suplexes' opponent'?

C'mon, Lineker. Pull some strings.

[Lineker]

"Angry Player Throws Germans"

Noted Worcester City player, BROCK LESNAR.

God bless Shabba. Stockport had been asking for a reaction like that from him all game. Ten/fifteen minutes previous one of them had sent him flying into the advertising hoardings, getting a second yellow card (because a straight red would have been mean).

Noted Worcester City player, BROCK LESNAR.

Well, at least Brock made it as a football player somewhere.

Looking through old Premier League sticker album the other day and my memories came flooding back. Remember this guy?

[9 to 5]

Aye. He played for us, and turned golf pro iirc.

[Benji]

I just remember loving how much his face matches up with his name. If you were to say "describe the face of a man named Roy Wegerle" to me, that would be pretty much it.

He's no Cobi Jones

[Benji]

Hah! I almost posted Cobi Jones too, but I couldn't find the picture where his head reminded me of a pineapple.

[MDK]

Oh, since we are going to name 90's footballers again:

Steve Ogzrizovic

[Rafael]

Cobi Jones played for Vasco!
