Soccer and the number 4000

eagle eye

Ten bits of useless trivia.

You definitely won’t want to try and smuggle in beers inside Camp Nou after the State Commission Against Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport fined Barcelona 4,000 Euro after they found three, yes THREE beer cans inside the stadium following their match against Mallorca earlier this month.:eek:

The key to developing soccer skills as a young kid is the number of touches you get on the ball. Its often been said that 4000 ball touches per week are a good number.

The old '23 Effect'. Remenber the movie The Number 23, with Jim Carrey, where he saw the number 23 everywhere? It's apparently something to do with 23 that fascinates people with it, hence people see it in everything.

Anyway, the point is, if you pick a number, and look especially for it, you will see it more often. I was the same with 23, and more recently 333.
