[Coach Potato]

lol its not just rain though is? its a thunder storm with crazy lightning AND the pitch is full of water. How are they are supposed to play on a pitch full of water? also we dont any one to be struck by lightning do we?

[sportfan]

why not playing without the goalies

[latinrus]

In fact that was not cause of the rain!

There is lightning on the pitch and that may be dangerous!

Might get struck by lightning.

Reuters, June 1999


Ten players in a soccer match were all simultaneously struck by lightning on the pitch. Not only did they all die instantly, but the electric shock shrunk all those soccer players' balls to a size even smaller than it was before.

FIFA has warned that such weather as well as possibly a bird flying over the pitch are conditions that should stop a match. Players and coaches are concerned that if a bird flies over, it might shit on one of the players and mess up their hair... thus affecting their caviar dinner reservations and primadonna nail salon appointments after their dinner.

[Coach Potato]

could be hours before the game starts again

College Football games have been suspended for weaker weather already last year.

Probably NFL too, lightning and automatic delay of game.

Sir, u just made my day! A chocolate getting electro-blasted!!!

All he had to do was grease himself up and the electric voltage would've slid right off him. Another case of choclate laziness!!!

[Coach Potato]

lol the pitch is under water

[sportfan]

wait, I just the press conference. the lightning was fake. some African guy brought a boom box and it made that sound .. and, as usual, a soccer player did another fake flop


acting was good, though. the fact that he didn't say "I wan' sum Kentucky Fried" while he was laying there... that tipped me off that he was faking it. so he definitely wasn't on his death bed
