Colombian town, Nobsa, celebrated the country's return to the World Cup after a 16-year absence by staging a soccer match played entirely by sheep.
Billed as the first soccer match played by sheep, the teams were split into two — one representing Colombia and the other World Cup hosts Brazil — the sheep were dressed in customized jerseys and named in honor of the actual stars that will take the field in a week’s time.
Over 400 spectators cheered on the farmyard footballers, watch the four-legged footballers, who were trained for two weeks to recognize and kick a foam soccer ball through a rustic goalpost made of wooden logs.
The final result was a 4-3 victory for Colombia, thanks to a goal in the final 50th minute by the mutton midfielder "James Rodriguez," whose two-footed namesake plays for French club Monaco.
