ROD STEWARTCLOWNS ARGETINA... For Pathetic World Cup

Wanna see Rod Stewart mock Argentina for sucking in the World Cup and then defend Sweden? 

Great, you're gonna love this clip! 

The singer -- who's a MASSIVE soccer fan -- hit up Delilah for dinner over the weekend, when he stopped to talk World Cup. 

His big beef ... he thinks Sweden got screwed out of a penalty kick during the match with Germany on Saturday when Marcus Berg had a breakaway shot. 

Germany's Jerome Boateng raced in and manhandled Berg -- right in the penalty box -- but somehow, no penalty was called, which really pissed off Fox Sports analyst Stuart Holden. 

Clearly, Rod Stewart agrees -- saying, "I think Sweden were robbed of a penalty."

Germany ultimately got the victory -- and now Stewart thinks they've got a real shot. 

But the best part of the clip ... we asked Rod what he thought of Argentina and he screamed out, "USELESS!!!!"

His trip to LA comes a day after he was spotted looking worse for wear after a lavish dinner at Mayfair restaurant, Scott's.

Shortly before leaving, an immaculately dressed Rod had narrowly managed to avoid spilling red wine down his pristine white shirt. 

The singer, who was in extremely high spirits as he prepared for the journey home, appeared to struggle with his footing as he got into the car ahead of Penny.

The couple, who have been together for 19 years, were seen chatting and playing on their phones as they enjoyed both red and white wine with their meal. 

And while he is now happily settled with Penny, Rod recently revealed he was something of a womanizer during the 60s and 70s, while part of rock group Faces.

Speaking to the Mirror, he said: 'Women literally used to throw themselves at us. It really was, 'Oh not again tonight, Ronnie' [Wood, his bandmate].

'It has changed. I can only speak from my perspective, but as a rock and roll singer, I used to show off with the girls.'

However, the Handbags and Gladrags hitmaker said he always behaved like a gentleman to his numerous conquests.

'I would never touch a girl unless she wanted me to,' he added, 'things have changed. You could get away with a bit more in those days than you can now and things have changed for the good.'

The singer managed to keep his whites white as a glass of red wine got spilled outside a restaurant

ROD Stewart had a near miss while out for dinner with wife Penny Lancaster last night - after almost spilling red wine down his pristine white suit.

The Maggie May singer and Loose Women's Penny were enjoying a slap up meal at celebrity hot spot Scott's in Mayfair on Wednesday evening.

The star, 73, and Penny, 47, sat outside the fish restaurant as they enjoyed their dinner.

But when the couple went to leave, a glass of pinot was knocked over - and narrowly avoided Rod's pristine outfit.

It's not clear how red wine ended up all over the floor as the couple made their exit - it looked as if Penny and Rod had spring water and white wine with their meal.

The couple, who remained stain-free, then made their way to their waiting, chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce.

The pair enjoyed a night out at Scott's in Mayfair

Despite his rock-and-roll past, Penny has said Rod is very much the “traditional” husband.

From doing the heavy lifting – literally – during their annual Christmas tidy-up to dealing with more serious issues, like helping Penny through her dyslexia battle.

Last year, they celebrated their 10-year-anniversary by renewing their vows at their Essex home.

The pair were later seen getting into their chauffeur driven Rolls Royce

The pair have two kids together - Alastair and Aiden.

Rod has previously called Penny his "diamond" and he loves having her by his side.

He said: "I have been married three times and I say this with all honesty, I have got a great woman now.

“Maybe it is because I am a little bit older and I understand women a lot better than I used to.

"But I have got a diamond by my side now. She really is and I can’t say any more than that.”

And Sir Rod Stewart, 73, and his wife Penny Lancaster, 47, clearly do everything together, as they headed to the BBC Studios in London so that they could see the singing legend's pal Tommy Steele on The One Show.

The couple looked as loved-up as ever as they arrived at the studios holding hands on Wednesday, and the pair were sure to stand out thanks to their glamorous attire.

Rod opted for a not so subtle all-white outfit that saw him don a lace-trim shirt over casual suit trousers, which he paired with a blazer and matching Adidas trainers. 

Keeping the collar of his shirt partially unbuttoned, the rock legend accessorised with a pair of dangling necklaces that added a punk chic flair to his look. 

Showcasing his signature eccentric style, the Forever Young hitmaker wore his silver locks in a spiky up-do.

Penny maintained her sophisticated appearance in a colourful exotic print dress, which featured a flared blue trim at the bottom.

Styling her blonde locks into loose waves and parted down the middle, the beauty brushed on light touches of make-up so that she could rely on her natural features.

She stepped out in a pair of black ballerina shoes, and Penny kept her personal belongings in a brown handbag which she had slung across one shoulder. 

The couple, who married in 2007, have been together for almost twenty years, and share two children together - sons Alastair, 12, and Aiden, seven. 

While he is now happily settled with Penny, Rod recently revealed he was something of a womanizer during the 60s and 70s, while part of rock group Faces.
