Most people watch Euro 2012 for the football. Here at Game Intelligence we enjoy nothing more than spotting footballers who bear tenuous passing resemblances to our favourite famous faces (and some not so famous). Here’s a selection of the lookalikes currently thrilling us in Ukraine and Poland…
Euro 2012 Footballers who look like:
1. Chris Papass from Neighbours

While Chris avoids offending macho Australian sensibilities by being a distinctly heterosexual homosexual, Martin managed to cause uproar in England by not being Rio Ferdinand
2. Jess’s estranged father from Gilmore Girls

Although badboy Jess Mariano’s dad irresponsibly left his mother when he was young, Cabaye has rarely gone missing in the Newcastle midfield this season
3. Patrick from Coupling

London-based Coupling was a curiously underrated sitcom, and Zhirkov’s underwhelming spell at Chelsea didn’t do his reputation much good either
4. Bill Murray in Moonrise Kingdom

Murray’s recent roles have often seen him play frustrated characters dealing with mid-life crises, but it was the Dutch who were left frustrated after Olsen masterminded a 1-0 win in Denmark’s opening game
5. Frank Zappa

Zappa’s four children are called Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. No further comment.
6. Dr Luka Kovac from ER

Corluka was quick to diagnose Tottenham’s poor second half of the season as a symptom of Harry Redknapp’s lack of squad rotation
7. Iceman from X-Men

The Chelsea midfielder has been left chilling on the sidelines in Spain’s Euro 2012 campaign so far…
8. Yuri Gargarin
9. That Irish guy from Misfits
10. Crispin Glover
11. Each other

Rumour has it Jose Mourinho was actually after Milan Baros when he mistakenly signed Khedira to run around a lot and not score very often…
Why not humour us by sharing your own Euro 2012 lookalikes? It’s not like we’ve set the bar very high…
