We’re probably a bit late reporting on this one but as England are playing today it seemed appropriate to mention the Philips Universal Remote - World Cup Party Edition.

The World Cup remote control is shaped and colored like a football pitch. The buttons are colored and positioned as opposing players but must admit it’s a formation I’ve never seen before.

The only reason I’d need this remote when watching a game would by for it’s ingenious other purpose, an inbuilt bottle opener. Sensibly it doesn’t include a counter like that other bottle opener we wrote about.

You can get the football remote from Phillips, found via Ideal Gadget.

These cool-looking contact lenses were manufactured by a German optician, Stephanie Berndt, to celebrate the forthcoming football World Cup.

We wrote about the original Powerdesk earlier in the year. It looks like this is another company that wants to show their support for England in the upcoming World Cup by releasing a special addition Powerdesk suitably decorated with a big red cross.

The World Cup Model will set you back a hefty £8,000, I think you can probably go and watch it in person for less than that.

Further info on the Powerdesk in our earlier post, we found the World Cup Edition via Stuff.
