Illegal substitution

This screen shot is from the Rogers Sportsnet coverage of a match between Canada and Costa Rica in June 2007. Early in the second half Costa Rica decided to change strategies. For the first 50 minutes they were content to play a containment game. At this point the coach decided to go for regime change and pulled President Bush Sr. out of the game, in favour of more shooting prowess.



As every footie fan knows Bush wears 43 in honour of his son, the 43rd President of the United States. Or perhaps he lost a bet and is forced to wear it.
