The Wrexham and Arsenal fan put a £100 bet on Brazil winning the World Cup for the fifth time, along with striker Neymar claiming the Golden Boot, and got odds of 20-1.
But his wager crashed when Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side were thrashed 7-1 in the semi- finals by Germany.

Kiss Cam
caught out! Minnesota Gophers’ Kiss Cam has become something of a tradition at home games as cameramen search out apparently loving couples so they may plant a smacker live on the big screen.
However, sometimes it goes wrong; for example, couples have been seen to throw their drinks at each other or even land a punch!
But, when one attractive couple refused to get involved, the crowd bayed for more. It was

only when the young man, who had clearly been caught on camera before, produced a note explaining the situation, that they quietened down again!
It might have happened
As the 20th Century began, London-based commercial traveller John George Grant felt the division between the summer ball sports of tennis and cricket was pointless and perhaps a wasted opportunity for money- making.
So he invented a quick-moving hybrid version. “Vigoro” saw teams of between eight and eleven players performing like cricketers - bowling, batting and fielding - but using racquets.
A rubber ball was used and six, rather than the usual three, stumps were placed at each end of the pitch.
The cricket and tennis establishments were initially keen to promote Vigoro. In October 1902, a match took place at Lord’s. An eleven, led by tennis star EHMiles, thrashed the opposition, captained by England batsman Bobby Abel. Games were also played that year, and in 1903, at London’s Queen's Club.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t catch on! Other hybrid sports that didn’t quite stack upwere;
• Football tennis - also known as futnet, this originated in central Europe and involved getting a ball over the net on a tennis court, using any part of the body except the hands
• Polocrosse - a combination of polo and lacrosse, played on horses
• Chess boxing - combined chess with boxing in alternate rounds

Is this themost ridiculous football shirt ever?
Spanish second tier side Cultural Leonesa have revealed their new kit for the forthcoming season - a black and white shirt designed to look like a tuxedo.
As closeasUnited got to trophies last season
When this Manchester United fan heard the Premier League and Capital One Cup trophies were in town, he couldn’t resist going down to get a picture with the trophy.
After donning his United shirt, he posed for a photo with two of the most famous pieces of silverware around, but there’s one slight problem…
Both trophies are currently owned by rivals Manchester City, and the chance to get your picture taken was supposed to be for City fans.
This shameless snap has been doing the rounds on Twitter and it’s pretty hilarious, once you’re done cringing. Still, it might be the closest United get to those trophies…
Thenot so seriousside of the industry
