World Cup weirdo: This sexy model will pay you £100-a-day to watch the football from South Africa with her

A WORLD CUP mad model has offered to pay a male fan £100-a-day to watch the football with her – and explain what’s going on.

Pretty Daiyu Fang, from Beijing, China, has been turned down by all her girlfriends and has now placed an internet ad for a companion to watch the whole tournament with her.

“I have money but football isn’t very popular in China and people are too busy working,” explained Daiyu – who is determined to see every game beamed from South Africa.

“My only rules are I get to keep the remote control and there is absolutely no kissing no matter how exciting it gets on the pitch,” she told the Austrian Times.

How to be a good loser, Brazilian-style: Kick the living shit out of everything and everyone

December 16th, 2009 dailywail No comments

In sport, it’s not the winning but the taking part that counts.

Unless you’re Brazilian. In which case, what counts is beating the living crap out of the referee, your opponents, your own players, fans, stewards, TV camermen and the police.

This incredible video shows what happened last week when Brazilian top flight side Coritiba – in green – drew 1-1 with Fluminense.

The result, combined with rivals Botafogo’s last-gasp win over Palmeiras,  sealed Coritiba’s relegation on to the second division of the Brazilian league.

In the extraordinary riots that followed, fuming fans attacked the officials – in orange – and anyone else they could catch, hospitalising 18 people – including a policeman.

Head Coach Ney Franco had seen it all before though, preferring instead to talk about his team’s defensive frailties.

He said: “The decisive factor of our season has been our poor form on the road.

“We just did not manage to score the points needed away from home.”

Of course, it is much easier to pick up points at home.
