The Saudi Arabian soccer team has decided to change a few things about the way that soccer is played. The Fatwa has come down and the changes have been ordered. This is one of the funniest stories of the year. For example:

Play in your regular clothes or your pyjamas or something like that, but not coloured shorts and numbered T-shirts, because shorts and T-shirts are not Muslim clothing. Rather, they are heretical and western clothing, so beware of imitating their fashion.

Do not follow the heretics, the Jews, the Christians and especially evil America regarding the number of players. Do not play with 11 people. Add to this number or decrease it.

Do not play in two halves. Rather, play in one half or three halves in order to completely differentiate yourselves from the heretics, the corrupted and the disobedient.

Suddenly I find myself excited about the World Cup.
