'Waka Waka -This Time for Africa', you are always right Shakira - hips don't lie. Other one who does not lie is Twitter. English goalie Robert Green has become the clown of the Twitter in true sense.  Bloggers have crossed all the limits of wickedness after the game between USA and England, which ended in 1-1 draw. Robert Green, English goalkeeper conceived a goal on himself when he was not able to hold on to a simple ground kissing slow kick. Match ended in a well-earned draw but one tweet correctly defined the feelings of the English fans "New World Cup and same old England."

Much before Television channels started asking about Robert Green's boo-boo from their viewers, he was a proclaimed offender on Twitter with tweets defining his punishments. Here are some funny Tweets on Robert Green:

• - BP issue statement thanking England goalkeeper Robert Green for selflessly doing his bit to repair strained Anglo-US relations.


• - I'm bringing out a new condom! It's called 'Robert Green' it is extra slippery and you won't catch anything!


• - Has anyone seen the Robert green condoms? They are extra slippery and There is no chance of you catching anything


• - Robert Green handled that ball like BP handled the oil spill.


• - Robert Green stops kicks like BP stops oil spills.


• - Robert Green, you ballerina


• - My computer's got the Robert Green virus. It can't save anything.


• - From gulf: Robert Green is a Zionist


• - What do Robert Green and Michael Jackson have in common? They both wear gloves needlessly.


• - BNP to deport Robert Green.


• - Pres Barrack Obama to give honorary citizenship to Robert green.


• - Robert green, u r a hero in Scotland!!!


• - Prior to joining the UK Premier League, Green was a deepwater rig designer at BP.


• - Robert Green is lucky that he's not from Colombia.

As soon as the game ended Robert Green, English goalkeeper, Tim Howard (US-goalie) were among the trending topics. Guess what, if Robert Green has ever used twitter he will never think about using it again. Most of the tweets, which were trending him, were ruthless, merciless and extremely emotional.

Ability of Twitter to make or break personal fan following of teams and players is absolutely unquestionable. A big lot of Football fans around the world have reputation of being unruly. On twitter, they are even more ruthless and the passion spreads speedily than forest fire. I am just wondering what would happen to Robert Green's Wikipedia page, if it has not been locked.
