Colombia beat Brazil in the sheep World Cup

The World Cup already happened and ewe missed it.

Every time there is a Sports Event, people find a way to do weird Sports Event-themed things with animals. On that note, let’s head to the Colombian Andes where ... yup, those are sheep wearing little sheep soccer kits and little sheep shoes, “playing” “soccer” by being led around on ropes, sometimes a couple at a time, by men ringing bells. At least one of the men is wearing an animal suit of some sort (rabbit? cat?):

Colombia sheep beat Brazil sheep, 4-3. My favorite sheep soccer players of all time are Wayne Eweney, Franz Beckenbaaaaauer, David Beckram, and Lambdon Donovan.
