I’m sure I wasn’t the only one scratching my head in the Ellis Park stands as Brazil struggled to unlock the North Korean defence.

A full-time footballer, Rory is pursuing unsuspecting opponents and scoring goals as you read this.
He has played in both South Africa and Croatia, and strongly advocates the return of the death penalty worldwide to prevent footballers from diving and rolling around on the field.
