Casillas immortal in Madrid’s wax museum. »

Spain goalie Iker Casillas has been honored with a wax statue of himself in Madrid, Spain. Nice move taking into account some people only get a statue after being dead.

What if the USSR got together again for some football? »

I spotted this great post at The Offside. Thought it would be nice to share.

Brazilian online news site, globo.com, showed today a commemorative shirt to be worn by the fans as Brazil faces Uruguay this Wednesday.
