Crappy Lookalikes Part 4

   

It’s time for the next edition of Crappy Lookalikes, almost a year to the day after the last edition. Here are this round’s uncanny eerily similar kinda-sorta resemblances:

 

Sean Bean and Steven Gerrard

 

I noticed this while watching Don’t Say A Word the other night (bit of advice- Don’t Watch It), and I thought their facial features were pretty close. It’s not identical by any means, but a quick glance can easily confuse the two.

Chris Klien and Marco Cassetti

The two are really close. The hair, the forehead, the similar nose/mouth… cousins, separated at birth. One starred in American Pie, one starts for Roma. Who got the better career?

 

Vince Vaughn and Toto Schillaci

Normally, not at all, but in some of Schillaci’s goal celebration pictures he looks a ton like the comedy star.

 

Robinho and Marcelo

robinho marcel

This amazes me. A former Real Madrid starter and a current one, and they look nearly identical. So much so that there’s been quite a few mix-ups of the two. They were even called “the two twins” when they played together for a youth team, or so says the internets.

Steve Finnan and Matt Damon

This was suggested by Adam in the last crappy lookalikes post, and it’s really dead on. Finnan currently plays for Portsmouth but spent 5 years at Liverpool from 03-08.

Any others you’d like to see in the next edition? Hopefully it’ll be sooner than April 2011.

    Haha these are all pretty good. I had thought about the Sean Bean one before.

  • KJ

    you got a knack for this Julian.. Not too shabby

  • http://italy.worldcupblog.org/ Julian

    Thanks a lot guys. I do enjoy these kinds of posts.

    By the way, if anyone has a 360 or PS3, the new FIFA World Cup Game is going to have a demo for those systems this week. The two teams you can play as are Spain and our beloved.

    uncanny marcelo and robinho!

  • Marco

    “Vince Vaughn and Toto Schillaci”
    Julian this is heresy! ;)

    in other more depressing news:
    http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2176/serie-a/2010/04/07/1867862/season-over-for-inter-defender-davide-santon-following-knee

    Even though he hasn’t played much for Inter this year, Lippi’s interest in him has been a sign of hope on an otherwise hopeless national team. This I reckon would insure that lippi will look past him during the selection time in May. Disappointing

  • Maurizio

    Even if Santon heals in time you have to wonder if Lippi should even bring him. He won’t be getting any playing time and I think its best that the national team look elsewhere. This sucks because I was hoping he would replace old man Zambro.

  • dan

    Michel Bastos looks more like Robinho than Marcelo does.

    pls google ryan gosling..

    looks like my romanissta # 9 mirko vucinic

  • Comrade

    Another scandal would probably help the Azzurri :P

  • Rinaldo

    De Ceglie and Ashton Kutcher!

  • Bari Mike

    On a slightly unrelated note, my physio is a dead ringer for Chris Klein, and by the transitive property, Cassetti. Ironically, he was a footballer of some repute, playing pro here in Vancouver and for the Canadian U20 and Olympic squads.

  • Marco

    comrade, another scandal won’t make the azzurri any younger. Unless the scandal involves replacing them with cloned super players, I doubt this scandal will serve as anything more than a distraction to some of the ‘oldies’ in the dressing room.

  • Maurizio

    I agree with Marco. The scandal worked in their favor in 2006 because everyone was in their prime. They had the skill and fitness to shrug it off and win the cup. Those same players are mostly too old and broken down to accomplish the same feat now. I do think Italy have the players to possibly win another world cup but its not with many of the players that featured in 2006.

  • Bashar
  • Chris

    In other news. I’ve just read Lippi’s latest remarks regarding his 2010 world cup selections:

    “The World Cup is about seven games over a month, we don’t necessarily need all the players to be 24 years old.

    If I had to use this team over an entire League season I’d probably make some different selections. But for a month it’s not a problem.”

    A ’senior’ moment from Signior Senior himself. Why can’t someone just slap him in the face and say the obvious – The issue obviously isn’t stamina over 7 games. The problem is speed and acceleration! Our team has no pace and will be absolutely rinsed because of it. Christ, if Cannavaro thought Zoltan Gera was speedy…

    actually, the period on the end of that got attached to the gollum link and killed it so here it is for real now http://www.moviemobsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/gollum.jpg .

  • Marco

    Maurizio, no doubt in my mind we have the players to win a second world cup. The players being selected however, and featured on most of the big teams are too old to do it however. I blame teams like Inter, Milan and Juventus for going after overrated none sense like Melo, Amauri and Cannavaro. If they’d taken the last four years and groomed players like Giovinco, Paloschi, Balotelli, et al, and not spend rediculous sums of money on garbage, we’d be talking about the azzurri would steamroll their way to the semis at least and not what we’re currently discussing, whether New Zealand, Paraguay and Slovakia are a potent enough threat to see us out in the first round. So my order of blame for this june Catastrophe is as follows:

    1. Serie A and the Italian Mentality of going after stupidly old players and neglecting the young

    2. Inter – Milan – Juventus – Roma for picking such dumb foreign players over quality young Italians.

    3. Marcello Lippi: Had he ventured after some budding stars two years ago, they’d be able to secure more playing time with their club teams and become far more attractive to large teams globally. Win win for Club, PLayer and Gli Azzurri. Example. Imagine if lippi threw caution to the wind and selected Giovinco. Giovinco would then be promoted to the starting line up at Juve, then a team like arsenal would see this and say fuck the kid is good, and offer 60,000,000 Euro for him rather than what juventus want to currently do and throw him into a deal for foriegn defender Kjaer.

    Looks like simple business aint on the minds of italian clubs after all.

    “The World Cup is played over seven games across one month, and so we don’t really need a squad of just 24-year-old players,” he told FIFA.com.

    “The quality of a player is not judged on age or on technical quality.

    “If I was to play this team across a whole season then I would have probably made different choices, but it’s no problem for one month.

    “If I was to stick with public opinion then four years ago I would have left players like Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon at home.”

  • http://roma.theoffside.com hanif

    What about marco delvecchio and sylvester stalone? I mean, you get stalone to drop 15 kgs and he & delvecchio’d be almost identical!

  • Chris

    alessio, See my comment on this above. I think it’s absolutely ludicrous that a manager could have that mentality when the modern game is played at SUCH a fast pace. I’d speculate that this World Cup will probably have the fastest, most physical players to ever grace the game. Our national team, under Lippi, just isn’t prepared for that.

  • Marco

    exactly chris. please see brazil v italy matches of 2009 for more information

  • ][P3trarch

    Marco Borriello and Mario Yepes…at least in one or two shots.
