Kevin Rudd’s earwax-eating heroics are nothing against Germany coach Joachim Loew who has been captured picking his nose and eating the bounty on camera - and it’s not the first time it has happened.

In the clip above Loew, who is not only the most devastatingly effective coach in the tournament but also the prettiest, makes a deft little move to grab the, er, ball before dummying once, twice, then finally sliding it home. Into his mouth.

This was during the game in which Germany knocked out England in the World Cup. But Loew has form on this. See the next video for some armpit sniffing and more digging for victory…

      I support Andrews thought on this: headline worthy - or at least on page 3. What is it with Australian journalism either thrashing or ignoring this kind of cool German team these days? Are you still so bitter about the 4 nil on the eve of group D? Get over it and don’t “pick” on stuff I see every day when I drive a car.

      Please take this person off my screen or I will have to paste something there to cover this man’s impedimenta. Do we have to display his propensity to behave like a pre-schooler both on and off the field?
