Something Unheard On Football
1) Just before the World Cup in 1966, the solid
gold Jules Rimet trophy was stolen. After a few frantic days of searching, the
cup was found by a dog called Pickles, out for a walk in South London. The
organizers must have been pleased to get their paws on the trophy...
2) English referee Martin Sylvester sent himself off in 1998 after punching a
player during a Sunday League game … “right that’s it, I’m off. I displayed
unsporting behavior, my name is going in the book.”(Oooookay....u gotta do what
u gotta do I guess.)
3) Guiseppe Meazza of Italy’s shorts fell down as he was taking a penalty shot
in the 1938 World Cup.(He must have been the butt of all the jokes that year)
4) There were a total of 20 red cards were shown during a match in Paraguay
between Sportivo Ameliano and General Caballero in 1993, leaving just 2 players
on the pitch.(To me...to you...to me...to you… well there’s nobody else!)
5) The most goals ever scored in one match by a single professional player is
13. Archie Thomson of Australia broke the record in a World Cup qualifying
match against American Samoa. Australia won the match 31-0.(When do you think
American Samoan’s realized they were going to lose? I like to think they were
still optimistic at 25-0.)
6) Due to a superstition, France captain Laurent Blanc kissed goalkeeper Fabian
Barthez’s shaved head before each match of the 1998 World Cup.(Get a room guys,
we are trying to play football here!)
7) The Liberian soccer team escaped imprisonment in 1980 by drawing 0-0 with
Gambia. Allegedly the Liberian government had threatened to lock them up if
they lost …(Wtf?? “What are you in for? Multiple homicides? Me, I’m just
not very good at soccer”.)
8) Funny professional soccer player names include Johnny Moustache, Norman
Conquest, and our favorite Wolfgang Wolf who was the manager of
Wolfsberg.(Headlines: Wolf wolfs down Norman Conquest and team ending their
conquest for the cup.)
9) A Scottish Cup game between Falkirk and Inverness Thistle in 1979 was
postponed 29 times because of bad weather. (Point to note: It was Scotland …
were they really waiting for good weather?!)
10) A soccer match in Tanzania was postponed in 1978 because the referee was
arrested on the pitch and accused of smoking marijuana.(I know people often
want the referee to relax, but this guy took it a bit too far!)

Interview
Interviewer said "I shall either ask you ten easy
questions or one really difficult question. Think well
before you make up your mind!" The boy thought
for a while and said, "my choice is one really
difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you
have made your own choice! Now tell me this.
"What comes first, Day or Night?"
The boy was jolted into reality as his admission
depends on the correctness of his answer, but he
thought for a while and said, "It's the DAY sir!"
"How" the interviewer asked.
"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask
me a SECOND difficult question!"
He was selected for IIM!
Technical Skill is the mastery of complexity, while
Creativity is the master of presence of mind.

Amazing Facts about Bill Gates
Bill Gates earns US$250 every second. That’s about $20million a day or 7.8billion a year
If
he drops a thousand dollars, he shouldn’t even bother to pick it up
because the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back
The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself, he will finish it in less than 10 years
He can donate $15 to everyone on earth but still remain with $15 million for his pocket money
Micheal Jordan is the highest paid athlete
in the US. If he doesn’t drink and eat and keeps up his annual income
ie $30million he will have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates now
If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
If you change all of Bill Gates
money to $1 notes, you can make a road from earth to moon 14 times back
and forth. But you can make that road non stop for 1400 years and use a
total of 713 Boeing 747 plane to transport all the money
