Just a few minutes into the friendly between the United States and Canada, you'd think a referee would have better things to do than stop the game to look at a player's underwear. You'd be wrong, as that's exactly what happened.
Ref Stops Game To Gaze At Andre Hainault’s Underwear
In the ref's defense, Canada's Andre Hainault was wearing black compression shorts under his white uniform shorts, which does violate Law 4 in FIFA's Rules of the Game, which reads in part:
• Shorts - if undershorts are worn, they must be of the same main colour as the shorts
Still, this was a friendly that isn’t part of a FIFA competition. Even though Hainault was allowed to stay on the field, it seems more than a tad unnecessary to stop the game just to clamp down on such a minor transgression.
