Video Football + art = the extra beautiful game. Yesssss – highlights from the ArtReview Cup five-a-side football tournament: see Juergen Teller save penalties, Idris Khan jink, Hurvin Anderson pass, Ori Gersht run, Mike Nelson dribble and Michael Landy keeping it real; Ralph Rugoff tours New Décor at the Hayward Gallery; Jeff Koons shows us his new car; and a shaky-cam guide to the revamped South London gallery.
