Although he has only been sent off once in his career, the aggresive holding midfielder is never far from controversy. The great Dane has been spat at by Francesco Totti in the 2004 European Championships and also had run-ins with Totti’s Italian team mate Gennaro Gattuso, but it is this incident which is probably his highest profile misdemeanor.

In a recent World Cup warm up match against New Zealand, the German based target man they call ‘Super Nova’ scored two fine free-kicks and in the process fired a warning shot to his group C rivals USA, England and Algeria. At 6’4″, the striker will pose Slovenia’s most obvious physical threat when the tournament kicks off in a weeks time.

After being raised in Rotterdam by artistic parents (his mother was a painter and his father a sculptor), Robin was never likely to become a center-half cart horse or a midfield water carrier. With spectacular goals like this one you could say the dutch master has carried on the family trade, albeit using the goal as his canvas.

After qualifying against the odds for the first time since 1966, the weight of North Korean expectation falls squarely on the shoulders of Hong Yong-Jo. The striker, who plays his club football for Rostock in Russia, will be hoping to reverse the form guides once again as his band of plucky unknowns look to qualify from a group containing Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast.

Fanis, as he is known in his home country, topped the scoring charts in the European qualification zone – beating the likes of Wayne Rooney, David Villa and Miroslav Klose. The story could have been completely different however had his father not talked him out of following his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

Win a GGGN! German

As you may know, the Germany midfield supremo Michael Ballack has sustained an ankle injury which will keep him out of the World Cup. Great news for Germany’s rivals, not so great for me as I have already painted the Chelsea star.

After frantically painting a replacement in the form of Miroslav Klose, I now find myself in posession of a spare 33rd portrait.

One lucky person can win this portrait, normally priced at £200 but in the circumstances the value could be much more (or much less, to be honest I don’t know).

‘How do I win him’ I hear you cry, well to be in with a chance all you have to do is follow me on Twitter (my twitter name is @QuinkyArt) predict the Japan v England score and Tweet the following message:

Predict Japan v England score 2 win rare #gotgotgotneed portrait of Michael Ballack worth £200 ENG?-JAP? http://bit.ly/cWCLR3

Obviously you need to substitute the ?s for what you think the score will be when England face Japan in their next World Cup warm up on 30th May (this Sunday) in Austria.

So there you go, if you want to win this unique Michael Ballack painting simply follow, predict and tweet.

‘Gigi’, the son of a discus thrower mother and weightlifter father, is currently being courted by the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. As well as being a World Cup winner, the nine time ‘Serie A Goalkeeper of the year’ is also engaged to this Czech model, makes you wonder where it all went wrong for the Italian stopper!

A quick post to say that the GGGN collection has gone up for one night only as a backdrop to the England Fans Forum. Interviews with authors, directors, and dignitaries from South Africa took place in front of the collection and are to be shown on SABC2 in South Africa tomorrow. Oh, and as I’m currently inundated with requests there may be a short wait before the next player gets posted so keep checking back.

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite would be a bit of a mouthful for any commentator, luckily today’s player also goes by the much shorter name of  Kaká. The Real Madrid midfield magician was one of many GGGN! stars to feature in the infamous Vanity Fair underwear shoot (others included Ronaldo, Drogba, Donovan and Eto’o) however the Brazilian was the only player who kept his jeans on.
