Brilliant, that's the funniest thing I've read this week "the man on the 
side waves his flag to tell the crowd". I'm not sure why but I can't stop 
chuckling at that.

I'm not really interested in football but I'm fairly sure I understand the 
off-side rule; is it  that complicated, am I missing something? The 
explanation for girls made sense. It's to stop goal hanging isn't it?

It's cricket scores I don't get. when they're read out on the news, I think 
they should say "that means England have won"; assuming England win.
