Celebrities 'balls’ up their World Cup geography

Whilst I don't pretend to know much about the ins and outs of football and the World Cup (well, aside from knowing that the ball has to go 'in' the goal, which for me, is arguably enough to get by) I have to say I'm feeling like a certified geographical genius after the recent spate of World Cup induced celeb geography gaffes.

Putting their foot(ball) in their mouths ahead of the England vs USA match were:

ZAC EFRON

Yes he's pretty and makes young girls swoon, but Effers is still prone to the odd interview faux pas, saying that he couldn't wait for the States' game... against Man United. Now I wouldn't want to write poor Zackie off as being ever so slightly mis-informed, so here's a breakdown of his possible thought process:

Football = soccer = LA Galaxy= David Beckham = Used to play for Man Utd= USA are playing Man Utd.

So you see, he was really being quite logical when you think about it. Really hard.

It's a scientifically proven fact that placing a shirtless image of Zac Efron on any blog will increase hits fifty-fold

KATY PERRY

The Daily Mail reported that Katy Perry, "showed her support for both teams when she stepped out wearing a rubber dress which had one half made from a Union Jack flag and the other from an American Flag".

Hmm, all well and good, except for the small fact that Great Britain don't actually enter the World Cup, hence why people have been waving around this thing called the English flag. Looking as insanely hot as she did, obviously I'm willing to forgive K-Pez and her design oversight, but the Daily Mail not picking up on such a glaring error? Tut tut...

NEW YORK POST

Also victim to the England/Britain confusion was clearly the New York Post, who ran with this front page:

It's also worth pointing out, New York Post, that a 'win' generally constitutes as beating an opposing team, not DRAWING WITH THEM.

JACKIE CHAN

Lastly, the Chan-meister should probably steer clear of the footie talk, or at least admit that he hasn't got the foggiest when it comes to the World Cup. He confidently predicted that Milan and Barcelona would go far - lets just hope he hasn't got a large sum of money riding on that happening. On second thoughts, anyone got his agent's telephone number? I have a bet I'd like to discuss...
