From The Simpsons to Charlie Brown and Shrek to Tarzan, we've compiled a list of footballers who may or may not have been the insipriation behind these characters. Take a look at the 11 footballers who most look like cartoon characters.
Diego Costa's hysterical antics have been in full swing this season. From the tractor incident to funny post match interviews, the list keeps growing. During halftime of Chelsea's travels to West Brom, Costa fancied himself a nutritious snack, and Conte was informed of this after the match.
To play soccer is to partake in a global community of shared experiences. We all watch the same matches, absorb each other's methods and styles and speak one universal language, the language of the game we love. Like anything in life, soccer has its phases — its ups and downs — but we wouldn't have it any other way, because in the end, soccer always gives us so much more in return.
Here are 18 things that show we have far more in common with each other than divides us.

Scientist: sir, the unit has broken down. A failure of the knee joint, apparently
Boss guy: Goddammit the warranty just expired
Other scientist: well, at least this will give us a chance to improve the unit
Zlatan: I am right here, and I can hear you. I am Zlatan, and I am already as close to perfect as can possibly exist
Scientist: well at least the hearing module still works
Other scientist: and the confidence module
Zlatan: Everything works I am Zlatan
Soccer is the world’s sport, and people from all walks of life can relate to the game. Some celebrities have not been shy about glorifying their early playing days, so we’ve decided to dig deeper to assemble the ultimate team of actors, musicians, and creative types.
The result is a formidable, if unconventional, starting XI.

Ah, yes, this is the rare Canadian Howler. This creature is exceedingly rare, but when sighted it never disappoints.

James Milner had a penalty saved on Sunday. It was his first failure to convert since 2009. Before he took it, Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster stepped up to the spot and whispered sweet nothings into Milner's ear. Did it affect Milner? After the match, Milner said he's been around long enough for that sort of thing not to bother him.
Oh come on Jimmy no one believes that.
What did Forster say that so unnerved the unflappable Milner? We have some speculations:
"James are you sure you didn't leave the kettle on this morning?"
