Do The Crouch! LOL

What is 'The Crouch' ?
It started with a few awkward moves on the dance floor at David Beckham's Full Length and Fabulous pre-World Cup party.
But now England striker Peter Crouch's robotic goal celebration is threatening to sweep the nation. The 6ft 7in (2m) footballer celebrated his spectacular goal against Hungary with an equally memorable reprise of his dance routine.

The Guardian - C'mon everybody..Let's do the Crouch
The 6ft 7in England striker premiered his own unique version of robotics at the Beckhams' lavish World Cup party just over a week ago. While Wayne Rooney gingerly wiggled his metatarsal and Rio Ferdinand archly clicked his fingers on the mirrored dancefloor, the gangly Liverpool forward was head and shoulders above his peers as he shape-shifted to James Brown's funky beat.

But supporters really twitched to attention on Tuesday night, when England met Hungary in their penultimate friendly before the tournament in Germany. At first, Sven's starlets failed to shine with their predictable adoption of Brazilian forward Bebeto's baby-rocking goal routine to mark John Terry's headed goal. It was, admittedly, in a good cause: his girlfriend has just given birth to twins. Then Peter Crouch took to the field and promptly upstaged his more celebrated team-mates. Spinning like a top to shoot as accurately as Robin Hood, he scored an immaculate goal and celebrated with an eye-popping display: face taut with concentration, he mimicked a robot as he moved one way, then the other.

Was it a stick insect after too many coffees? A beanpole spasm in the breeze? Or was it the stirring sight of the best kind of English hero - the unheralded kind - whose unpredictable skills might just bring home the World Cup on Sunday July 9? As Crouch shuffled, a collective gasp passed through the watching millions. Instead of anguishing over the merits of 4-1-4-1, or whether Stevie Gerrard should be stuck in the hole, England fans were suddenly thinking, hell, with moves like that we can win this thing.
