Whenever a ball goes into the stands during a match, I always wonder what would happen if the person who grabs it decides that he’s keeping that sucker and that there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Well, that’s exactly what happened during the Switzerland v Germany match at the U17 World Cup. When the guy in the blue shirt got his hands on that ball, he wasn’t about to give it back — even when everyone around him turned against him and tried to pry it out of his hands.

Oh, and did I mention the U17 World Cup is taking place in Nigeria? So if you get an email from a Nigerian lawyer saying he needs your help to access a very valuable bank account AND that he has an official FIFA football in his possession, part of that statement actually might not be a scam.
