Top 15 Lunatic World Cup Fans

Every World Cup can guarantee three things, England won't get further than the Quarter Final, England will lose on penalties in the Quarter Final and a bunch of nutters will turn up in fancy dress. Why do they do this? Because it's the World Cup, that's why.

There's two things cameramen at the World Cup look for, hot female fans wearing little clothing and nutters wearing hats, everyone loves nutters wearing hats. Here's 15 of our favourites from the opening week.

No better place to start than Ghana, the kings of World Cup costumes. You know when you take your seat at the game, you've got your home-made necklaces on, your long-haired Barbie doll in your hand and then BAM, someone throws talcum powder right in your face. Hate it when that happens.

Arsene Wenger is taking his secret World Cup scouting mission to new levels by dressing up as a Russian Gandalf.

The Japanese love a good fancy dress party. You know when you go into the fancy dress shop and all they've got left is bowling pins? We're not pointing fingers but we can safely rule out that it wasn't the guy on the left's idea... or the guy on the right's.

Neymar hat, check. Flag sunglasses, check. Moustache dye, check. Globe, check. Seagull, check. All your footballing essentials. Good to go.

The worst thing about wearing your full Zebra to the match? Besides being dressed as Zebra at a football match, you can't see any of the game and peeing becomes an monumental challenge. Plus you look like a giant Zebra. Maybe all his other clothes were in the wash?

Some description

This guy's the type of person you see outside the stadium, you laugh, you even high-five him and then immediately hope he's not sat in front of you. You get in the ground and who's sat in front of you? Who do you think. 

Some description

Dressing up as your favourite player. Clever? Apparently not. The South African police weren't too happy when we turned up to the France game in 2010 dressed as ours. Not sure why they took such offence, he might not be everyone's favourite, but Rod Fanni is a top defender. 

Some description

The guy who turns up to the game with a woolly glove on his face is either A) Cold, B) Mario Balotelli or C) A Psychopath and more often than not they're not cold and they're not Mario Balotelli.

Some description

We've got a lot of love for this one. Slightly unrealistic though, if this was the 1998 World Cup the crowd would be full of 40,000 David Batty's. Every damn packet.

Some description

Nope, not a clue either.

Some description

What he did to be chained up in this medieval torture lock is anyone's guess. But he looks happy enough so good for him.

Some description

Nothing says "Come on Chile" like sellotaping a T-Rex to your hand and wearing a helmet. Patriotism at it's finest.

Some description

It's just a lot of effort isn't it. 

Some description

Have you ever seen a man look excited, in pain and confused all at the same time? Dress him up as a giant World Cup.

Some description

"I want to go to the World Cup" said mum. Fine, one game I said.

Look out for them, they're everywhere. Have you seen any World Cup nutters over the last week of football? Let us know.
