This is Akon performing the official 2010 World Cup anthem Oh Africa with a little help from his friends Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba. The Liverpool and Chelsea striker blast football-sized paintballs onto a wall to create a mural of football’s elite.

The perfect European hangover cure
It took Fernando Torres just four minutes to find the net against Blackburn, and he did it with real class. Jamie Carragher probably didn’t intend his long ball to end up looking this sexy, but the Spaniard’s chest control and half-volley from the edge of the box soon polished it up [...]
