Fireball Football

By: Bob | January 30th, 2007

If the excitement of watching horses play soccer isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, here is another extreme version of the beautiful game. It is called Fireball and it involves the dubious decision of playing football with a ball that is on fire. Apparently the sport is a popular one in some parts of Asia. The rules of fireball football are essentially the same as regular football except there are no keepers or throw ins because holding a ball on fire in your hands would be just plain stupid. There also aren’t any free kicks because no one in their right mind would want to stand in a wall 10 yards from a flaming ball. Here’s look at a fireball game in Thailand (you need Windows Media 10 to watch it).
