Hyundai wasn’t just building giant vuvuzelas as sponsors of the World Cup, they had a rather unique auto soccer like game going around as well. Hyundai World Championship 2010 for car football had eight teams competing for the cup, playing with a giant ball, and with commentary from Peter Brackley. Finals for the cup were between Brazil and Spain. Hit the jump for a number of videos, starting with the final.
COPA’s homage to the football (soccer) stars from the past comes in the shape of a classic Vespa PK 50. The scooter was salvaged from the junkyard and covered with more than 1000 Panini stickers from the 1970 – 1990 World Cup tournaments. That makes this a successful combination of two icons of that time. The scooter is on display at the COPA Football Flagship store in Amsterdam.

Well, of course this is the best time to sell soccer related merchandise, and Adata Soccer Jersey USB drives provide fans with a serving of memory. The drives are shaped like little people, who wear a jersey corresponding to a soccer team. The 4GB drives are made of durable rubber and are resistant to spills and shocks.

Vuvuzelas are grabbing as many headlines as the World Cup itself, but just as a reminder to the world that Hyundai is the sponsor for the world cup, the automaker put up a giant 114-ft long vuvuzela in Cape Town. This one goes on before the start of every match, and probably gives viewers a “preview” of what they are going to hear throughout the match. Video after the jump.
Fans support and cheer for their teams in unique and interesting ways, but South Korean fans apparently just turn themselves into pixels of an LCD TV to cheer on their soccer team. There are 750 high school students in the video, each with jackets that have different colors at the front and back. Removing the jackets shows a third color. Touch that up with good choreography and incredible coordination, and 750 pixels of impressive LCD TV are ready. Video after the jump.
Well, it appears that the simple, good natured Soccer action isn’t enough for some people. Perhaps because the players are human flesh, not metal, or more accurately, not cars. Enter Auto Soccer, where cars play soccer by pushing around a re-purposed 400lb propane tank, which serves as the ball. As you might guess, it’s all crazy action. Video after the jump.
