Funny Names Following World Cup 2010

There is a Zulu tradition to name children after events that occur near
their birth - fair enough.  However, Will and Guy pity these poor
children who have been given these unfortunate names following the 2010
World Cup in South Africa:

Coach Sibise, Stadium Gumbi, Tickets Ngubane and Park n Ride Khumalo.
We also wonder about the father of Offside Mchunu.

Funny Football Snippets

1. An edition of Observer Sport Monthly featured a small item about a Moroccan parachutist. The one who, at the opening ceremony for the 1988 African Nations Cup in Casablanca, watched by royalty and the most
   important men in world football, delayed kick-off by missing the pitch and getting tangled up in the floodlights, where he hung upside down for 45 minutes.
2. During the last Nations Cup in Mali two years ago, there was a full-scale punch-up on the pitch, involving a Cameroon
   coach and Malian soldiers. The coach, a former World Cup goalkeeper, had placed a charm in the Mali net. Witchcraft, juju, call it what you like.
3. My favourite was the tale of the South African team which drove out of town, walked backwards and barefoot off the team
   bus into the the bush until they found a termite mound, urinated on it, then walked backwards to the bus again - and still didn't
   win the league.
4. A Manchester cinema, for the World Cup Finals 2002, offered sushi-flavoured popcorn for England's
   matches.

God's Football Team -v- Devil's Team

God, and the devil were each having a holiday in hyper-space.  The
topic of conversation turned to who could turn out the best football team.
Much to the God's surprise the devil proposed a football match to settle
their dispute.

As God was leaving he said to the devil, 'Don't you realise that all the
'good' players go to heaven?"

The devil, smiling, responded "Yeah, but we've got all the refs!"

Medical School

A medical professor had just finished a lecture on the subject of mental health and started to give an oral quiz to the first years.  Speaking specifically about manic depression, the senior doctor asked, 'How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?'

A young man in the rear of the room raised his
hand and answered,  'A World Cup football coach?'

Court Ruling from the UK

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday
when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge
initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law
and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree
possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the
judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that
they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that
domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took
the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have
custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child
welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the England
Football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating
anyone.

World Cup Football -
Car Insurance

Car insurance companies in the UK will be pleased if England crash out of the
2010 World Cup in the early stages.

Based on information collated from the 2006
World Cup it appears that
England's
drivers crash their cars more often on England match days. In 2006 crashes leapt by some 15% generally during the whole tournament.  Accident figures when England played against Portugal and lost on
penalties rose by over 42%.

The Laws of Football

At one point during a football (soccer) match in America, the coach said to one of his young players, 'Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?'
The little boy nodded in the affirmative. '
Do you
understand that what matters is how we play together as a team?'
The little boy nodded yes.

'So, 'the coach continued, 'When offside is given, or a foul is not seen, you don't
argue or swear or attack the
referee. Do you understand all that?'
Again the little boy nodded.

'Good, 'said the coach, 'Now go over there and explain it to your mother.'

Memory Man

Robbie, the Scouser, [person born in Liverpool, England], is touring
America on holiday and stops in a remote bar in the hills of Montana. He's
chatting to the barman when he sees an old native American sitting in a
corner-complete with full tribal gear, long plaits and wrinkles.

'Who's
he?' enquires Robbie.
'That's the Memory Man,' responds the barman. 'He
knows everything. He can remember any sporting fact. Go and try him out.'

So Robbie wanders over and asks, 'Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?'
'Liverpool,' replies the Memory Man.

Robbie is flabbergasted.
'Who did
they beat?'

'Leeds,' is the reply.' And the score?'
'2-1.'

Amazed but not totally convinced Robbie Dave tries something more
specific.
'Who scored the winning goal?'

Without blinking the native
American replies, 'Ian St John.'

Robbie, the Liverpudlian returns home and regales his relatives and
friends with his tale, and he's determined to return and pay his respects to
this amazing man.

Ten years later he has saved enough money and returns to
America. After weeks of searching through the towns of Montana, Dave Robbie,
the Scouser steps forward, bows and greets the old man in his traditional
native tongue, 'How.'

The Memory Man squints at Robbie and says, 'Diving header in the six-yard
box.'

Football Pools Winner

Fred was being interviewed on television after winning £1,000,000
[$1,610,635.87 USD] on the football pools.

'What are you going to do with all that money asked the interviewer?'

'I'm going to spend the first £250,000 on wines, spirits and beer,'
responded Fred cheerfully, 'and the second £250,000 on horses, dogs and
cards.'

'I see,' said the interviewer, somewhat taken aback.

'And then,' continued Fred, 'I shall spend £250,000 on women and loose
living generally.'

'Quite, quite,' the interviewer interrupted hurriedly. 'And what will you
do with the remaining £250,000?'

'Oh, I'll probably just fritter that away,' Fred replied.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

One day in Bavaria, the seven dwarfs went off to work in the
salt mine, while Snow White stayed at home as usual to cook their lunch.  However, when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs.

Tearfully,
Snow White shouted down the mine shaft: 'Hello - is anyone there.  Can you hear me, Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Grumpy or Sneezy?'
(She knew it would be no good calling Sleepy.)

Then
a voice floated up from the bowels of the mine: 'Germany will win the 2010 World Cup'. '
Thank God!'
said Snow White, 'at least Dopey's

still alive!'
