This is one of the most bizarre World Cup videos you’re likely to see for quite some time. It features Denmark’s Nicklas Bendtner being forced by a referee to color his socks during the game against Japan.

FIFA rules declare that players are not supposed to wear tape that isn’t the same color as their socks. So when the ref noticed that Bendtner was wearing white tape on top of red socks, the Arsenal striker had to borrow a magic marker to color the tape.
