This is so embarrassing →[More:]Please pray that the 7ft streak of lanky piss named Peter Crouch does not score a goal in the World Cup because his goal celebration is surely the most cringeworthy thing you've ever seen.

And "Crouch Fever" is, we are told, taking the country by storm. It's good to know that England is once again at the cutting edge of dance culture by introducing body popping to the 21st century.

*hangs head in shame*

It could be worse. His name could be Crotch instead.

Oh, my. How very unfortunate.

"More like what embarrassing uncles do at weddings"

Indeed.

Nigerian striker Julius Aghahowa could always get a job in a circus if all else fails -- he celebrates with seven perfectly executed backflips.

Now that's more like it.

I don't wish ill will or pain on anyone, but I hope someone on the Paraquay team is able to sideline him early on in the first game.

I hate when people leave their teammates hanging on a high-five.

He gets a hug in the end from David Beckham. . .jan. . .would you not act like a fool to get some of that from Beckham?

Beckham is actually trying to strangle him to make him stop and when that fails he attempts to stab him in the back with his gigantic diamond ring.

I suspect that the video's repitition AND use of reverse playback makes it appear even worse than it actually is. Not that it isn't BAD...

No, wendell, it IS that bad. Trust me on this.
