World Cup whispers: crazy coaches, amorous armadillos and centre-Barack Obama

MEXICAN COACH IS VALUE FOR MONEY

Another week and another Mexican hero. After the brilliance of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa against Brazil, it was manager Miguel Herrera who stole the limelight as Mexico booked their place in the last 16 with a win 3-1 win over Croatia. He might be the lowest-paid coach at the finals (earning in a year what Fabio Capello gets in a week) but his touchline antics mean he is probably the best value. His reaction to Mexico's win over Croatia was priceless, as were his haircuts in the 1980s.
