1. Lion Ace Giroud
In the prejudice of the people, the Germans were usually stereotyped and cold-faced. This bias was once again manifested in a legal dispute. Around the time of the 2006 World Cup, Germany's famous Beate Uhse adult product manufacturer launched two women's sex vibrators and named them Michael B and Ollie K respectively. Apparently, these two names are abbreviations for German stars Michael Barack and Oliver Kahn. After learning that the vibrator of his namesake was swimming in the crotches of thousands of women, Barak and Kahn became so angry that they took Bete Uhse to court. In the end, the court ruled that the two men were in favor, the two vibrators had to be removed, and the company compensated each person for 50,000 euros.

2. Hard mouth destroys the future
Rodney Marsh was one of England's most powerful strikers in the seventies, however, his national team career lasted only two years and was typical of "getting guilty of words". In 1973, Alver Ramsey took charge of the England national team. He knows that Marsh is a very lazy guy on the pitch, often disappearing from the front for dozens of minutes in a row. Before a national team match, Ramsey still lined up Marsh as the starting striker, but told him in a serious manner: "I will watch your performance in the first half, and if you don't work hard, what awaits you at halftime is the bench." The arrogant Marsh listened to this and retorted: "Alver, in our Manchester City, what usually awaits me at halftime is a cup of tea and an orange. Since then, Marsh has never been selected for the national team again, and his England appearances have been fixed at 9.
Marsh had a successful club career but only scored 1 goal for the national team
3. Players shoot fans
In 2009, during a two-legged match between Colombia's domestic Barranquilla Juniors and Caldas Xi's, home midfielder Javier Flores was criticised by fans. A few days later, Flores was driving down the street when he was bumped into by a fan named Castillo and several friends. Castillo saw Flores, remembered that the team had been eliminated, was very emotional, and scolded Flores: "Disgusting! Soon after, the impulsive Flores took a pistol and killed Castillo. Prosecutors opened an investigation into the case of the player killing fans. However, flores was released after paying $50,000 in bail and $1.5 million in family compensation. This incident caused great public outrage in Colombia. After his release from prison, Flores played professional football, and whenever he took the ball, the stadium was filled with boos. Flores has not retired yet, but he is barely playing anymore. In the last five years, Flores has made 19 appearances.
Flores confessed in court
4. Keep crocodiles in the moat
It is very common for football matches to be played when fans rush into the field, usually in the chaotic management of Eastern Europe and South America. Club president Alexander Colingus of the Romanian Bucharest Star has been a headache for the intruders on the pitch. In 2003, he came up with a great and bizarre way to do it: dig a moat for the stadium and keep crocodiles in it! So he did the engineering himself. Keep the moat and the sideline at a certain distance to ensure that the players will not accidentally fall down, and at the same time, heat the water in the ditch to adapt to the crocodile growth environment. In this way, no fans rushed into the stadium during the Bucharest Star games; the raised crocodiles could be sold to the local slaughterhouse.
This programme was eventually sustained only for a while
5. Take care of the old comrades at the wine table first
At Euro 2008, an Austrian beer producer issued a bounty order, and the player who scored the first goal for the Austrian national team would receive a lifetime free drink of the brand's beer. Fortunately, the Austrian players were a bit of a fighter, and finally scored a goal in three group games, which did not let the bounty fail. The then 39-year-old veteran Yvica Vastic scored a penalty in the 93rd minute of the match against Poland. The following year, Vastich announced his retirement, and he could safely and boldly drink beer openly.
Vastich celebrates the goal
6. You don't want to play penalties anymore
After Christmas 2007, staff at The Club of Rotherham United in England discovered a peculiar situation: the penalty spot on the pitch was missing. They hurriedly summoned surveillance footage from the pitch and found that on Christmas Eve, two men had infiltrated the pitch and dug up two penalty spots on the pitch with shovels. Since the identities of the two could not be verified, and the club did not suffer any losses, the staff could only smile and use it as a wake-up call for the security of the stadium.
The atmosphere at the home of Rotherham United was good
7. Frame caricatures as a sign of respect
In 2001, "Lone Wolf" Romario was again punished for his unruly personality. In the bar restroom he opened in Rio de Janeiro, Romario painted caricatures of former Brazilian coach Zagallo and assistant coach Zico on the door panel. Zagaro took the lone wolf straight to court. In court, Romario argued that he had painted the portraits of the two out of respect for them. Obviously this reason does not hold, because in the comics, Zagallo sits on the toilet and Zico stands next to Zagallo with a roll of tissue. The court ruled in favor of Zagallo, and Romario had to remove the door panel and compensate the two men.
The comic is actually a good draw
8. Essential medicine for home travel
In 2009, Bolivian clubs Blooming needed to race from the sea level area they were in to a highland area at an altitude of 4,000 meters. In order to combat altitude sickness, the club's team doctor gave the recruits a box of Viagra to each player, asking them to take it on time before arriving and before the game. Viagra is said to promote vasodilation, helping players to inhale oxygen more effectively in altitude conditions. News of the Blooming players taking Viagra before the game leaked and were accused by their opponents. Subsequently, the World Anti-Doping Commission conducted repeated clinical trials on Viagra, but did not list it as a banned drug for athletes. Since then, professional sports athletes can safely and boldly eat Viagra.
It is said that the Argentine national team will also take Viagra before going to the plateau
