1) Stupid Football Players

A football coach walked into the changing room before a game.  He looked over to his new signing and said, 'I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed arithmetic, but we need you to be in the team. So, what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right then you will be allowed to play.'

The player agreed, so coach looked into his eyes intently and asked, 'Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two plus two?'

The player thought for a moment and then answered, '4?'

'Did you say 4?' the coach exclaimed, excited that he had got it correct.

Suddenly all the other players on the team began shouting..., 'Come on coach, give him another chance!'

Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein. Joe Theismann (NFL Quarterback)

2) The Football Star

Peyton, a local football star, is jogging down the street when he sees a building on fire. A woman is standing three floors up on ledge holding her pet cat in her arms.

'Hey, lady, 'yells Peyton, 'Throw me the cat.'

'No, 'she cries, 'It's too far.'

'I play football, I can catch him.'

The smoke is pouring from the windows, and finally, the woman waves to Peyton, kisses her cat goodbye, and then tosses the moggy down onto the street.

Peyton keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him. The feline, bounces off an awning and Peyton runs into the street and catches the cat. He jumps six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one handed catch.

The crowd that has gathered to watch the fire, breaks into cheers. Peyton does a little dance, lifts the cat above his head, wiggles his knees back and forth, then Peyton ' spikes' the cat into the pavement.

3) World Cup thief's own goal

A thief who stole a World Cup ticket from a woman's handbag was caught after sitting down to watch the game next to his victim's husband.

The 34-year-old mugged Eva Standmann, 42, as she made her way to the Munich stadium for the Brazil-Australia game at the weekend and discovered the ticket in her bag. He took the woman's place in the stadium where he was met by her husband Berndt, 43, who immediately called security. A Munich police spokesman said, 'The thief found the ticket in the bag and decided to watch the game, not expecting to sit next to his victim's husband, who immediately informed officers on duty at the stadium.'

4) Rubbergate - Did Roland Linz wear jewellery?

Austria Magna striker Roland Linz was sent of for supposedly wearing jewellery.   However, on appeal Austria's football league overturned the decision by referee Dietmar Drabek.  Nevertheless, it was not all good news for Austria Magna because the disciplinary committee ruled that Austria Magna's 3-0 defeat away to title rivals Salzburg will stand.

What happened was Austria Magna striker Roland Linz was sent off for a second yellow card in the 28th minute of Sunday's clash.  The referee's version was he saw the player taking a bracelet over to his team dugout.  Referee Drabek, who had booked an opposition player for wearing jewellery a few moments earlier, told reporters that he had told Linz to remove the bracelet before the kick-off.

What league leaders Austria Magna wanted was the game replayed.  They insist that their player was not wearing a bracelet and had in fact taken some coins and a rubber band off the pitch.

In delivering a judgement of Solomon, the disciplinary committee said that it would uphold the appeal against Linz's dismissal.  However, they were not going to sanction a re-match.  Earlier on Monday, the league's refereeing commission gave its backing to Drabek -- citing FIFA regulations which ban the wearing of jewellery during football matches.

Speaking to the club's web site shortly after the disciplinary committee's announcement, Austria Magna's sporting director Peter Stöger said the matter, which had been labelled ' rubbergate' was now closed.

'This judgement shows that mistakes have happened, and that it was therefore right of us to question events. Of course we cannot say what would have happened if we had played 90 minutes with 11 men, but in the spirit of sport and fairness we accept the result.'

Director Stöger added that the team would now be concentrate on Sunday's home match, which coincidentally is against the same opponents, Salzburg.  Fortunately as a result of his successful appeal, Linz will be free to play in the game.
