Balotelli's Bib, Inler's Lion Head and Much More: Funny Things in Football

During the regular European season, it is easy enough to get caught up in all the results and statistics that sometimes we overlook the funny things that happen here and there in football. Although it is currently transfer season, football from many parts of the globe has already provided us with some moments which make us laugh, watch twice and share with our friends.

Take a look at some of the recent happenings around the world of football. Many you may remember from the end of the 2010/2011 season, and others have happened as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

Feel free to leave in the comments below some moments we may have missed.

Enjoy!

Ibrahimovic Kicks More Than Balls

There is no better way to celebrate winning the Scudetto than by kicking your teammate in the head. Zlatan Ibrahimov shows off some of his Taekwondo skills on Antonio Cassano.

He's certainly one player you would like to have on your team during a fight.

Balotelli's Brilliant Bib

It is no secret that footballers are paid a fortune. Balotelli is no exception to that rule, and you would think that by the age of 20 the former Inter man would be able to put his own bib on.

Let us hope he shows better form for Manchester City.

Napoli Unleashing the Beast: Literally

After a spectacular season that saw them reach the Champions League, Napoli have gone out and bolstered their squad ahead of the 2011/2012 season. They have already secured and offloaded a number of players, but this surely has to be the pick of the bunch.

Gokhan Inler started things off with fans with a little comedy. Hopefully his football will match his sense of humour.

When Is a Handball Not a Handball?

The Women's World Cup produced some brilliant football this year. Nevertheless it also provided a moment which would not be forgotten by the Australian team, whose tournament was jeopardised by this handball not called a penalty.

Needless to say the referee, was given a talking to after the match.

Things Always Look Better Backwards!

Check out this brilliant penalty kick taken yesterday in the match between Lebanon and the UAE. Baniyas winger Thiyab Awana scores an audacious back-heel penalty while playing for UAE.

Pia Sundhage Sings

What better way to prepare your players for the biggest game of their life than by singing to them? The Simon & Garfunkel tune went down a treat with the media.

Although, whether the USA team found it helpful? They went on to lose on penalties in an enthralling match.
