Pepe's party plane, a love song to El Diego and blitzing a vuvuzela to a pulp

1) Spain's footballers: not just world champions, but erudite, elegant, studied, ascetic. That is, when they're not gobbing on old men on the top of a bus like a gaggle of cider-drinking adolescents. 2) It's Pepe Reina's party plane . Watch as the world champions demonstrate what they've learned from decades of drunken English tour parties stumbling out of some beer-stained Boeing on the Alicante tarmac. 3) Ah, the drone of the vuvuzela. So evocative of long evenings spent watching shanked free kicks. And apparently even better made into a smoothie . 4) Never mind the players - at least England fans know how to lose to the Germans with dignity and good grace . Hmm. Maybe they're, you know, being ironic. Maybe the bombers are a metaphor for something. 5) Cristiano Ronaldo may have gone home early, but at least he hasn't lost his sense of humour when confronted by a sneery tabloid hack with a whiny, nagging voice. Death threats. It's the only language they understand. 6) Tired of football? Already weary of golf? Here's action from the domino world championships . Feisty stuff it is too. Thrilling even. And perhaps even better if we had any idea what was going on. Our favourites from last week's blog 1) Ultimate nutmeg , with Juan Mata. 2) Even more ultimate nutmeg , courtesy of Juan Riquelme. 3) Indoor nutmegs , by a man who appears to be called "Erotica Centre". 4) A love song to Diego Maradona . By, erm, Diego Maradona. 5) Men in lycra fighting over a bike wrangle. Spotters' badges: Grauniadangst, AK47, Pavedats, Carperi, Slimon
