It can't be. But in fact it is. Here you see the first World Cup played completely by ants. Japan versus Brazil.

According to the full story, http://cellar.org/2006/antworldcup3.jpg

It says the match ended in a draw, which I feel is totally unacceptable. It doesn't say what the score was, either. Shoddy journalism.

they stole the 'ball' from a dung beetle.

No way Japan ties Brazil. Shenanigans!

Well that's because they used ringers, not actual ants from Brazil which would look more like this:

...and would probably win the cup without having to actually eat spare ribs, in fact it would probably eat the other team.

Brazilian ant image from this thread from the "Name That Ant" forum. I did not make that up.

OHHH! Fucking cheaters! the goddamn ant is using his hands in the second picture.

REF, ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND???

Ants got hands?

:lol:

No, see in ANT soccer, they can't use their feelers.

this is disturbing in more than one level

Someone had to take their time to paint little team logos on the ants. With a brush. While holding them still and without crushing them.

Think about that for awhile.

They probably just stuck them in a fridge for ten minutes.

If you think ant soccer teams is sick....what about the fans that sit and watch the games. :eyebrow:

Are you calling me sick?

That sounds suspiciously new age to me, I'll ask my neighbor he's a soccer ref. The regular kind.

I'm assuming that ant soccer hooligans are what...aardvarks?

Would I?
Could I?
Should I? :tinfoil:
