Football anecdote no. 27

England and Sweden are playing in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The captains of both teams are standing by the ball. “Sir, please take the ball,” says the captain of the English team. “What do you mean, take it yourself,” replies the captain of the Swedish team. “For God’s sake, sir, we just had the ball. Now it’s your turn.” “Thank you.” “See you later, sir.” “See you later, sir. You were very kind.”
