    Dirty Tackle
    • Cologne fans like some lung damage with their relegation. (Reuters)

      Cologne's final match of the season started with a nice send-off for Arsenal new boy Lu-Lu-Lu Lukas Podolski. Then they lost 4-1 to Bayern Munich, sealing their relegation and everything turned black.

      After Thomas Muller scored Bayern's fourth in the 85th minute, Cologne fans started setting off black smoke bombs that prompted the referee to end the match a little early so the players could run for cover. A disappointed Podolski was the last man off.

      The smoke got thicker and despite the heavy presence of riot police with their itchy pepper spray trigger fingers, the inevitable relegation pitch invasion played out...

    • Like Liverpool before them, money-enriched Russian club Anzhi needed a rap song about them. But instead of going the Liverpool route and having the players do it themselves, Anzhi brought in Russian rapper Timaro to do the heavy lifting while members of the squad served as video filler.

      The whole thing is pretty straight forward, but the best part of the video is manager Guus Hiddink's very brief cameo towards the end.

    • Near the end of Boca Juniors' 2-1 Copa Libertadores win over Union Espanola on Wednesday, Union Espanola defender Diego Scotti apparently had had enough of Juan Roman Riquelme, so he blatantly swept his legs out from under him. Scotti was quickly shown a red card for the act, which was so flagrant it was almost funny. Riquelme had scored the first goal of the match.

      There are certain things you just don't do to someone like Juan Roman Riquelme and this is one of them. Unless, of course, you're Cobra Kai.

      This has been the Dirty Tackle of the day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.

    • The bar for European Championships theme songs was set extraordinarily low with Shaggy's Euro 2008 anthem 'Like a Superstar', which is good news for Poland and their Euro 2012 ditty 'Koko Euro Spoko'.

      The Poles were given the right to choose their Euro 2012 song on an X Factor-style TV show on Wednesday night. Pop groups, ska bands and a rapper were beaten by Jarzebina — Polish for rowanberry — an 18-member ensemble of heavyset Polish women in traditional rural dress.

      Some Polish football fans have reacted angrily online, suggesting the "kitschy" and "embarrassing" song might have won the competition through some sort of vote sabotage. Even the staunchest of Jarzebina critics, however, will have to admit the chorus is pretty infectious.

      Of course, this is merely Poland's official song for the tournament, and has nothing to do with co-hosts Ukraine. The official UEFA Euro 2012 song for the tournament is 'Endless Summer' by "German-American pop sensation" Oceana. You're going to hear a lot of this one in June...

    • The Pune MIrror for May 4, 2012. (@goonergurl20)

      Maharashtra, India's second largest tabloid, came oh-so-close to announcing the winners of La Liga correctly just two whole days after the title was sealed. It has the picture of Real Madrid's squad in there perfectly and, well, Barcelona did win the last three titles in a row. But, it didn't win this season, so the "Barca are La Liga Champs" headline is only wrong if you care about things like "what actually happened."

      Maybe this is some kind of defiant statement against Mourinho or just the world's best tease for page 14, but someone should cut out the left side of the page for Sandro Rosell's scrapbook.

      Thanks to @ajy_s for the tip!

      Roy Hodgson

      I've made a huge mistake. ... There really is no way this can possibly go well. ... Why am I just realizing this now? ... Sweet Jiminy -- his hand feels like a moistureless squid. How does that happen? What is going on here? ... Harry Redknapp going to Euro 12 as a BBC pundit can't be good, either. ... He's going to kill me on the first day and then say "Hey, since Roy's got a Wii controller sticking out of his head, I can step in." ... Now Bernstein's hand feels like a crumbly biscuit. ... What the- ... This is going to be the worst...

    • Jose Mourinho feeling confident. (AP)

      Real Madrid celebrated their record 32nd La Liga title at Cibeles a day after beating Athletic Bilbao to seal the title and two weeks after finally beating Barcelona in a league match under Jose Mourinho. Madrid also set a new La Liga record for goals scored in a season (115). Given all that, Mourinho decided to take the opportunity to respond to critics who say his team plays too defensive and describe his style as "anti-football" compared to Barcelona's tiki-taka approach.

      Said Mourinho to Portuguese TV station SIC (via Sky Sports):

      "My team played some of the best football in history.

      "But there are some luminaries who believe that only one type of football exists on earth. But these people only know football through Google. They swallow knowledge, but know nothing."

      Boom, roasted.

      Could this be the birth of a new subdivision of undesirable football fans? There's the prawn-sandwich brigade, the glory hunters and now...the Googlers.

      Champions League final hosts Bayern Munich are favorites to beat Chelsea at their home ground, but if they do win, their prize money will be going into the pockets of Bundesliga rivals Schalke and Hoffenheim.

      UEFA will pay Bayern a €9 million prize if they beat Chelsea, which also happens to be the combined total due in "success" clauses written into last summer's deal to bring goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from Schalke and the previous January's acquisition of Luiz Gustavo from Hoffenheim.

      From Eurosport:

      Schalke are already due €2 million for Bayern having reached the semi-finals, but they will be due a further €4 million from the Bavarian giants if they lift the trophy in two weeks' time.

      And it doesn't stop there. Hoffenheim struck a smaller but otherwise almost identical deal with Bayern after they sold Luiz Gustavo for €17 million euros in January 2011.

      Hoffenheim have already picked up a 1 million euro bonus for the Munich side making the semi-finals, and they'll be due another €2

    • Second-to-last-place Lausanne beat dead-last-place Sion 1-0 on Tuesday night and after the match, Sion's Serey Die gave a Lausanne ball boy his performance review in the form of a slap across the face.

      Die apparently felt that the ball boy was too slow in his supply duties, so he scolded him and then hit him. The Swiss football association is now reviewing the matter and preparing to give Die a stiff punishment.

      This is the exact opposite problem Vasco da Gama had with Botafogo ball girl Fernanda Maia a few days ago, when her quick throw led to an opportunistic goal. Here's the video...
