That's right. Videos of the day. Enjoy!

There's just so many lovely happenings in the world of footy as of late that we can't quite narrow down this post to just one video. Enjoy the smorgasbord of awesome.

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Rap The Ways

While training with the US Women's National Team at LiveStrong Park in Kansas City, Hope Solo was cornered and subsequently serenaded by Sporting KC striker CJ Sapong. It's hard to watch since he struggles to find his flow in the beginning, but with some encouragement from the crowd and Ms. Solo herself, he finally manages to profess his love to her via rap. He ends his rap by asking for a hug but receives a hug with a bonus kiss. Well played, sir.

If You Spray It, They Will Come

David Beckham is a good sport. His visit to the Ellen Degeneres Show found him playing puppet to Ellen's puppeteer as he poses as a Target employee named Ricky trying to entice shoppers to buy his-er, David Beckham's cologne. One lucky shopper was even encouraged to steal it! David Beckham's no actor, but who can be convincing with Ellen barking orders in their ear? Dance, monkey, dance.

Pirates Vs. Receding Hair Lines

Last year for FIFA 11 we were treated to the throwdown between Steve Nash and Landon Donovan. This year they are back in action, but not against each other. Steve Nash faced off with Hope Solo while Landon Donovan took on Tim Lincecum. Hope Solo is featured in our first video of the day, so it seems appropriate to go with the Landon Donovan & Tim Lincecum matchup. Plus, Donovan is better at trash-talking than Hope. Sorry, Hope. Look at it this way: Donovan isn't being serenaded by strapping young strikers like you.
