Now even musicians are better at football than us, this is getting out of hand

If you're not familiar with the works of Annie "St. Vincent" Clark, then you should get acquainted, as she's pretty darn good. She started her career as part of the Polyphonic Spree, and has worked with such other musicians as Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens, so she knows a thing or two about writing some quality tunes. In fact, you'll probably recognise 'Birth in Reverse', which has been a pretty big hit recently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c5BhXdVBqw Enough about all that music stuff though, let's talk football. That's right, Annie has some skills, and she shows them off in this video from Rookie Magazine, where she demonstrates how to do a rainbow flick à la Djalminha against Real Madrid back in the day, or Neymar who (judging by the compilation below) did it as a form of customary greeting to everyone he ever met. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNvfGOqAkAo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTufSek4nVU Annie admits herself that she never quite managed to pull it off in a match but those are still some silky skillz that could definitely pay a portion of the billz at least. As the lads at The Football Ramble point out, she's got good feet for a multi-instrumentalist. Hat-tip to the lads at The Football Ramble for the video. Check out their podcast too, it's only brilliant
