A crazed anti-soccer fanatic has caused chaos in Berlin by chaining concrete-filled footballs to footpaths. Two fans suffered broken toes after attempting to imitate their World Cup heroes.

(that's funny man...er...it's another story when you're the one with the broken toe)Friday June 30, 2006
Cardiff mother Kelly Watton, 17, was shocked to find she had fed her 18-month-old son a chocolate bar that was 23 years out of date - and four years older than she was. She had also given her mother one, but her mother alerted her to the fact that it was dated February 1983. Toddler Jayden was unharmed. (we see that Sylvia is not THAT bad after all)Monday June 26, 2006
British fans who paid up to $162 to see Elton John at Hove, near Brighton, overnight were selling their tickets for just 99p ($2.46) because the concert clashed with England's World Cup game against Ecuador, the Sunday Express reports.

Ukraine's soccer team will be given a break from training if they reach the World Cup semi-finals - to have sex with their wives and girlfriends. Coach Oleg Blokhin said he wanted players to forget about sex and to concentrate on their game. (:S)Thursday May 25, 2006
German soccer team coach Juergen Klinsmann has instigated a new training regime for his World Cup squad: repairing watches. The players have been signed up for classes in Switzerland, although no one knows what this will do for their chances. (maybe this is why they lost to the slimy Italians)
