Pies have found footage of Team USA’s Freddy Adu getting schooled at the crossbar challenge (although technically all bets are off - they should be shooting from the half-way line)

If you can think of a better way to spend your spare time than building a replica Batmobile, I’d like to hear it.

Feast your eyes on some football players in China

Perhaps one day someone will start a sentence with “there’s an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman” without it being a joke about people in boxes saying “potatoes” - it could even be used to introduce a Great British football line up. How wonderful would that be? Although, of course, the Irishman would have to come from the less green-grassy part of the emerald isle, and more the cobbled street bit where horses run wild (that’s the north, right?). Until that day, though, we’re going to have to content ourselves by gazing jealously at the other countries who get to call their footballers Olympians. Here’s eleven to keep a hungry eye on this year…

GK Brad Guzan, USA
Aston Villa’s (other) new American goalkeeper called Brad, the USA’s decision to make him one of their three over-23 players - he turns 24 during the tournament - shows just how great he is. That, of course, will count for nothing when he gets to Villa and warms the bench for the next decade, as Friedel becomes steadily more decrepit but still brilliant.

DL Marcelo, Brazil
Real Madrid signed the left wing-back in 2007 and he became a regular starter last season, pushing Gabriel Heinze into the centre. Unsurprisingly, he gets compared to Roberto Carlos - everyone does - and found the net on his international debut against Wales.

DC Vincent Kompany, Belgium
For those who spend their weekends playing Football Manager instead of talking to girls, you already know this guy, he’s one of the best buys in the game, damn it! And as it turns out, the 22-year-old isn’t too shabby in real life either. Right now he’s at Martin Jol’s Hamburg, and The Spoiler’s computerised West Ham.

DC Ezequiel Garay, Argentina
With all the Ronaldo talk this summer, Garay’s arrival at the

Cruz Azul give debut to a 14 year old

Back in 2004, Freddy Adu debuted in the MLS for DC United, at the age of just 14. It seems that everything America does, it’s Spanish-speaking little brother wants to do too, and accordingly 14-year-old ‘sensation’ Martin Galvan was given a run out in a high-pressure 1-0 Interliga victory over CF Monterrey.

Galvan, who likes to relax by giving ‘thumbs up’ gestures next to swimming pools, only ended
