This is me watching soccer (right, exactly as shown).

I coached girls soccer for a few years, but parents, especially Europeans, would yell at me a lot, and I didn’t really know the game like hockey, so I just tired of it.

Seriously, 7-year-old girls doing the beehive chasing a ball is not worth yelling about.

Maybe there was a lot of drinking going on in the stands.

The U.K. Food Standards Agency provided financial support and advice to enable Salford Trading Standards to seize 436 bottles of counterfeit and illicit alcohol in advance of the World Cup.

A five-day operation, partially funded by the Agency, was carried out across the city by the council, customs officers and the police and separate seizures were made in 25 out of 75 pubs and off licences that were raided.

Counterfeit alcohol is dangerous because it is sold without any of the safety checks that accompany legal food and drink production. This means there is no guarantee the product is what it says on the label. Trading standards officers found that some bottles contained excessive levels of methanol which can cause serious health effects including blindness.
