Peter Crouch is bulletproof (for now)

On Wednesday, Tottenham beat Manchester City 1-0 thanks to English striker Peter Crouch's header.

It was a monumental win for Spurs since it breaks the chokehold on the top 4 in the EPL (Chelsea, Man. U, Arsenal, Liverpool) and gives them at worst the fourth spot and a berth in the playoffs for the Champions League next season.

If they can win at Burnley on Sunday in their final match of the season, Tottenham could move up to the third spot and thereby avoid the playoff.



The goal ironically came a few moments after Crouch couldn't connect on a cross at his feet that skipped across the goalline. Hopefully in this upcoming World Cup, England learns from its mistake in 2006 of targeting Crouch constantly in the air. He's great in the air but they have to diversify their attack a little more than that; a team with as much talent as England should never be as low-scoring and predictable as they were in 2006. End of rant.

The best Beatles parody you've heard today



I'm not usually a fan of parody songs (except for the delightful Weird Al) and YouTube tribute videos are usually wretched but for some reason I loved this Wayne Rooney take off on The Beatles' "Let It Be."

Can the World Cup start tomorrow? This gave me goosebumps and I'm not even English.
