Who put that there ?

Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez was presented with an unusual problem during England's Group B opener against Paraguay on Saturday when the ball struck the giant video cube suspended inside the Waldstadion.

The 30-tonne cube, a distinctive feature of the 43,000 capacity arena, received a direct hit from a huge clearance by England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

The players looked bemused and the game was momentarily stopped as Rodriguez awarded a drop ball inside the centre circle.

England thrashed Paraguay 1-0.
