BERLIN (Reuters) - Police in Berlin said on Wednesday they had arrested two men on suspicion of placing cement-filled soccer balls around the city and inviting people to kick them. At least two people injured themselves by kicking the balls, which were chained to lampposts and trees alongside the spray-painted message: "Can you kick it?"
Police said they had identified a 26-year-old and a 29-year-old and had found a workshop in their apartment where they made the balls. The two are accused of causing serious physical injury, dangerous obstruction of traffic and causing injury through negligence, police said.
Berlin hosts the World Cup final Sunday.

What a dull event soccer is.
Try cricket...on the radio...in Australia, hearing all the "action" in Aussiese...literally all day long matches.

A test match is 5 days long. And can (and usually does) end in a draw.
People go to stadia to watch these, tune in to TVs and radios all day long.
Why, you might wonder?
But then you never played cricket.

Actually, I did spend an afternoon fiddling with the basics with some Aussie friends and their kids.
