Really unfair, when you think about it
I was watching the Brazil-Ghana match, and the play-by-play announcer narrated on one play that “a moa chases it down for Ghana”.
This is really not fair, having giant extinct ratites on your football team. They are so tall, so big, so fast. A stray kick can shatter the ribcage of a grown man. Their backwards-bending knees give major unpredictability to where a penalty kick is aimed. Unfair, but a genius move nonetheless. Must be the Mensa contingent on the Ghana team.
(Also, I cannot justify a whole post for a bad pun, but someone has to say that Beckham “puts the freak back in free kick“.)

Props to everyone who got the Mensa joke in addition to the moa joke.
