Robin van Persie scored a brilliant goal to begin the Netherlands' comeback and remarkable 5-1 win against Spain and he looked like a flying seal while he did it. After the match, Van Persie said, "Considering the circumstances, it must be the goal of my career." But while he was saying that, everyone else was busy photoshopping him into humorous situations. Here's the best of the bunch...

There are many lawyers and agents feverishly working on the Red Bull endorsement deal right now.
