A giant insect landed on James Rodriguez's arm when he scored against Brazil
The World Cup's top scorer, Colombia's James Rodriguez, scored a penalty against Brazil during his side's quarter final defeat. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted something on his arm as he celebrated.

The massive cricket landed on him before he took the penalty, and flew off shortly afterwards.

The bug is commonly known as Esperança, which means "hope" in Portuguese. Sadly Rodriguez' penalty was too little too late. Brazil proceeded to the semifinals after beating Colombia 2-1

A 17-year-old World Cup fan wins a modeling contract after her crowd pic went viral
And the 2014 World Cup has a new Sweetheart… well, sort of. I'm sure most of you will remember Larissa Riquelme, the Paraguayan fan from last World Cup. This year, it was time for Belgian teenager Axelle Despiegelaere to achieve stardom by becoming one of the faces of the World Cup, landing herself a modeling contract after being spotted in the crowd in Brazil.

After she returned to Belgium she set up a Facebook page, which quickly attracted thousands of likes. A couple of days later, the 17-year-old announced on her Facebook page she had signed with L'Oréal.

But her happiness was short lived. L'Oréal announced the company was no longer working with the teenager, after she uploaded a photo of herself hunting, with the following caption: “Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It's much more important than that..this was about 1 year ago…ready to hunt Americans today haha.”

Man proposes to girlfriend with commercial during World Cup
Of course, there would be romance in this World Cup. Best boyfriend ever Nick Bastress proposed to his girlfriend by filming a commercial that played during the US vs Portugal game.

Bastress wanted to shock his girlfriend, Nicole, with the proposal, so he created this 30-second clip and had it play during the high-profile soccer game. The ad showed Nick promising Nicole that he'll have dinner ready for her every night, clean the house and play with her cat, even though he admits he's more of a dog person.

A Brazilian man dies of heart attack while watching World Cup penalty shootout
A Brazilian football fan died of heart failure while watching the World Cup penalty shootout which saw his country win against Chile. The 69-year-old man was watching the tense finale in a bar close to the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

The fan, who was diabetic, complained of feeling unwell and was taken to hospital but died a shortly after his arrival. He wasn't the only one feeling distracted. Health officials had to treat at least 98 supporters during the match, including a 50-year-old woman with heart problems and a young man whose nose was broken in a fight.

The match finished 1-1 after extra time, with the hosts Brazil winning 3-2 in the penalty shootout.

Eight people actually bet that Germany would annihilate Brazil 7-1
The worst defeat in World Cup history meant windfalls for a few wild gamblers. Germany's semifinal massacre left Brazil stunned, but also forced a few bookmakers to pay out some outrageous winners.

The popular online betting exchange Betfairhad only had one person offering a bet on that exact score... at 999-to-1 odds.

In total, a confirmed eight "punters" made a bet that Germany would score seven goals to Brazil's measly one. Paddy Power had four people who placed the wager, with one Essex better placing £5 on the score and walking away with £2,505. Australia betting site TAB reported one gambler earning $500 for his correct prediction. And finally, back at England-based Betfair, spokesman Barry Orr said three winners wagered a total of $11 and cashed out a whopping $11,000.

World Cup host suffers record defeat

Brazilians saw their dream of winning a World Cup on home soil disappear for a second time after allowing a record seven goals against Germany. Many left the arena in tears before halftime, too stunned to watch any more.

The host trailed 5-0 before a half-hour had passed at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte. The 7-1 scoreline was the worst defeat in the soccer-crazed nation's history, dashing hopes of overcoming the national tragedy of losing the final game of the 1950 World Cup at home.

While many Brazilians wept, others said they were resigned to the loss and even had a sense of humor about it. Renato Nakazato, a 37-year-old designer, walked along Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo with two friends playing a funeral march on a toy horn. In the same city Eder Araujo laughed after saying he left a job to be able to watch all the World Cup matches.

Uruguayan banned for four months from all football for biting another player
Fifa decided to suspend Uruguay striker Luis Suarez for 9 games and 4 months after he appeared to bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during their sides' World Cup match in Natal.

The incident occurred in the latter stages of the Group D encounter, which Uruguay won 1-0 to progress to the knockout stages. Replays showed Suarez appearing to bite Chiellini's shoulder as the two players made contact in an off-the-ball incident. Chiellini angrily remonstrated with Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez, pulling his shirt off his shoulder to show red marks on his neck.

An explosion of memes appeared shortly after the grotesque biting act. Images captured from the video and from other pictures of Suarez were remixed with several popular culture topics, such as vampires, cannibals, jaws, sharks, and even Italian food, and circulated through the social media.

The first goal of the 2014 World Cup was an own goal

Brazil got off to the worst possible start at their World Cup after a Marcelo own gave Croatia the momentary lead in Sao Paulo. Marcelo's moment of horror came in the 11th minute when he diverted Ivica Olic's cross past Julio Cesar in the Brazil goal.

It was the first auto goal Brazil has ever conceded in a World Cup. It was also the only auto goal to open scoring in a tournament – both are records the defender won't particularly relish holding.

The Opening Ceremony was ruled the worst ever
[img][/img]
Was the 2014 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony at the Corinthians Arena, Sao Paulo, Brazil the worst ever in history? Unfortunately, many think so. First, you could hardly hear what Jennifer Lopez was singing, thanks to the superb sound system and despite $7.6 million were spent for the big event, most compared it to a school play.

According to the Mashable's description: “there were dancing trees and running flowers and human soccer balls. Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull sang and kind of shouted into their microphones. If you watched the Spanish live stream it probably made no sense. If you watched the English version airing on NBC it probably made no sense. And somewhere, Vladimir Putin and his giant Sochi Bear pal are grinning, thinking that they'd finally given up the spot for weirdest opening ceremonies of all time.”

2)The woman who had concrete injected in her face by fake doctor
[img][/img]
New pictures of an alleged victim of previously featured 'fake doctor' Oneal Ron Morris show the horrific damage to her face after it was injected with a toxic mixture of cement and tyre sealant. Rajee Narinesingh, 48, from Miami, Florida, says her face was ruined by Morris, who had just been released from custody after she was accused of administering the potentially lethal shots to another victim.

Ms. Narinesingh, who, like Morris, 30, was born a man, but lives as a woman, has been left with lumpy shapes in her cheeks, a misshapen chin and a ballooning upper lip after the back room beauty treatment.

1)Dennis Avner: the Catman
[img][/img]
also known by "Catman" or his native american name of "Stalking Cat", has undergone incredible extensive surgery in order to look like his totem animal, the tiger. Modifications include extensive tattooing, transdermal implants to allow whiskers to be worn, subdermal implants to change the shape of the face and the filing and shaping of the teeth to make them look more like a tiger's.

6)Donatella Versace: a caricature of herself
[img][/img]

Since taking over for her brother Gianni Versace, platinum blonde fashion designer Donatella Versace has gone through some drastic changes thanks to awful plastic surgery, turning herself into a caricature. Although nose jobs are usually done to make a nose smaller, Donatella’s has grown larger over the years. It is also wider and flatter and slightly crooked, indicating that at least one bad nose job took place. In addition to her big nose, Donatella also has large lips, like the trout pouts of the Hollywood divas the designer dresses. Although the fashion icon has always had big lips, the oversized upper lip indicates that fillers, like collagen, have been used liberally. For a 53-year old, Donatella’s skin is very firm, indicating a possible facelift. She probably also uses dermal injectables like Botox to eliminate wrinkles, even when she smiles. Her tight face is a strong contrast to the loose skin on the rest of her body. And yes, Donatella’s weight loss also revealed her breast implants. Anything left?

5)The woman who had DIY plastic surgery on her face and ended up deformed
[img][/img]
You can still see the horrifying effects of botched plastic surgery on a woman who says, "it's a nightmare that doesn't seem to end." However, in the case of the woman we'll call Mary, who asked that her real name not be used to protect her privacy, there is no doctor at fault. She only has herself to blame.

In search of an inexpensive, do-it yourself version of a silicone injection she had gotten from a doctor to smooth a scar, the Midwestern mother injected her lips and face with silicone she purchased over the Internet. At first she thought she'd hit the beauty jackpot. But within 24 hours those desired results quickly turned into a before and after nightmare.

The silicone procedure was nothing new to Mary. For nearly $1,000 a plastic surgeon had injected it into her face once before to help fade a scar from an accident. But what he used was medical-grade silicone, and what Mary purchased wasn't medical grade and was labeled as a personal lubricant. Mary acknowledged that she thought it would be alright to inject herself with silicone because she'd seen a doctor do it.

4)Eric Sprague: the Lizardman
[img][/img]
Born Eric Sprague in 1972, the Lizardman was one of the first people to have a split tongue and in some circles is seen to be wholly responsible for the recent popularity of this particular modification. This 37 year old man has transformed himself into a reptile via 700 hours of tattooing, five Teflon horns implanted beneath the skin of his eyebrows, filing down of his teeth into sharp fangs, bifurcation of his tongue, and stretching of his septum and earlobes.

3)Michael Jackson: more than 10 nose surgeries
[img][/img]
Does this really need to be explained? It’s incredible to forget how absolutely normal Michael Jackson looked back in the 70’s and 80’s, attractive even, before turning into the sideshow freak that he is today. He is rumored to have had more than 10 nose surgery procedures on his life.

10)Hang Mioku: the korean plastic surgery addict who injected cooking oil into her own face.

[img][/img] hang
One of the most famous cases of awful plastic surgery gone wrong, Hang Mioku, a 48 year-old woman from South Korea, became so addicted to plastic surgery that she was left unrecognisable after her obsession led her to inject cooking oil into her face. She had her first plastic surgery procedure when she was 28. Following operation after operation, her face was eventually left enlarged and disfigured, and the surgeons she visited refused to carry out any more work on her and one suggested that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder. So Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face. It became so grotesquely large that she was called "standing fan" by children in her neighbourhood - due to her large face and small body.

9)Jocelyn Wildenstein: a US$4 million monster


[img][/img] Jocelyn
Known by the press by the nickname of "The Bride of Wildenstein" --a reference to The Bride of Frankenstein--, Jocelyn Wildenstein has allegedly spent almost US$4,000,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, ending up as one of the worst and most famous cases of plastic surgery addiction. But who did that happened?

Once upon a time, in the late 70’s there was a beautiful woman named Jocelyn Wildenstein. Jocelyn really had it made. She was a fresh-faced mother of two and married to an extremely rich art dealer. That is until she caught her husband in bed with a 21 year old Russian model. Now, any normal person would just leave her husband and take all of his money with her, right? Not Jocelyn Wildenstein! Instead she decided to win back her husbands love and make herself more beautiful by going under the knife. Well, her husband left her anyways, but Jocelyn will always have her plastic surgeon.

Jackie Stallone: facelift, brow lift, cheek implants, nose job...

[img][/img] Jackie
The mother of famous actor Silvester Stallone, Jackie was also famous for claiming she can talks to dogs about the future, she also once set up a psychic hotline which would charge callers for advice. Now she’s relatively famous for what looks like a little too much plastic surgery, as she has tried everything: facelift, brow lift, cheek implants, nose job and, of course, lip jobs.

7)Michaela Romanini: italian socialite, famous for her collagen abuse

Meet italian socialite Michaela Romanini. Another plastic surgery gone wrong, this lip collagen abuser is only 40 years old, and became famous after her many surgeries.
