Elephants Star At Soccer

Some people love to watch soccer, while others were born in the United States.

There are intricacies and subtleties to the game that don’t present themselves immediately; it’s about getting caught up in the build up to the big moment. Sure, one could feasibly go get a haircut and likely not miss said moment, but that’s a whole other discussion. I will concede, however, that there might be a way to get someone like me into soccer.Show more

Men ride atop elephants as they take shots at a soccer goal. Elephants can play soccer— who knew?
