In celebration of the World Cup currently taking place in South Africa, our pals at Yep have mutated footballers taking part in the tournament with different types of food. We have literally no idea why but we like the results. See for yourself below.

Pepper Reina (Spain)

Park Pea-Sung (South Korea)

Nemanja Spinach (Serbia)

Michael Cress-ien (Ghana)*

Gael Peach-y (France)

Frank Yam-pard (England)

Broccoli Sagna (France)

Robin van Pear-sie (Netherlands)

Ricardo Gauva-lho (Portugal)

*Despite being part of the Ghana squad, Michael unfortunately didn’t manage to make it to the first game of the tournament without being eaten by Diego Maradona.
