Our friends over at The Gadget Store have noticed we have a small affection for the beautiful game (football to those that don’t know what I’m talking about) and have kindly donated a box full of England flags to give away to our readers.

So if you want a free St. Georges flag (3ft x 5ft or a car flag) leave a comment to this post saying what you like about gadgets and football. Make sure your leave a real email address (which we will never ever share) so that we can get a physical address to send the flag to. All flags will be given out on a first come first served basis.

Thanks again to The Gadget Store for this cool freebie.

We’ve filed these bizarre contact lenses under “Football Gadgets”. They’re certainly striking – if you’ll pardon the football pun!

Normally it isn’t very practicle to listen to music and swim at the same time. You can get waterproof cases for your iPod but personally I wouldn’t take my MP3 player swimming with me in the hope that the latest case was fully waterproof. Well there is now a solution where your iPod stays on dry land as you take a dip; the Sportzjam waterproof wireless headphones.

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.

Thanks to the automatic golf tee you can now lose your balls (golf) twice as quickly as you could before, so what you need is another golf gadget to help you find them just as quick and here it is, the Golf-Ball Finding Glasses.

Okay this may be for the kids but it’s football related, inflatable and looks kind of cool. The Inflatable Football Pitch is like a football jail for your kids. I can imagine it now:

• Inflate pitch
• Add kids
• Add ball

You can get the perfect pitch from Woolworths (not a store renown for gadgets or quality products to that matter).

We seem to of had a bit of splurge on golf gadgets recently but this must be the wackiest one yet. The
Never-Lose-Another-Golf-Ball Putter aims to do exactly what it says by borrowing a bit of fishing technology.

The Never Lose Another Golf Ball Putter works by attaching a fishing line to the ball and a reel to the club, so once you’ve missed putted the ball you can reel it back in to practice some more. Absolutely crazy!

Available from Hammacher though if you buy one you probably want to make sure nobody is watching when you use it.
