I’m a little late to this particular party as I’ve only just found this out, but it’s too good not to post. Just when we thought cats were the biggest sods on the planet, a dog makes us question ourselves by invading the pitch during a League Two football match in Mexico and stealing the ball. STEALING THE BALL.
(Click on the link above and SCROLL DOWN for the video. Don’t click on the first video you see as it’s some weird thing that you have to pay for.)
Louis Catorze is vert de jalousie for not thinking of this himself.
Cue a hilarious, comedic chase around the pitch accompanied by the Benny Hill theme music* (well, ok, there wasn’t really any music; I just played the song to myself in my head because it seemed appropriate to do so). Alebrijes Oaxaca, the home team and whose name actually refers to animal spirit guides, were in no huge rush to retrieve the ball; they were 4-0 up at the time and were happy to have the minutes run down without having to make any effort to waste time.
*Younger followers: ask your grandparents. Non-Brits: ask your British friends of a certain age.
The dog, Max, has since become the club’s mascot (despite the cheeky sod actually having a home) and has even been seen in training. The following photos are from the club’s official Instagram page:
As for Dorados, the visiting team, if they weren’t cat people before, they probably are now. And I know a cat who would be the perfect mascot. Global fame, causing absolute chaos and being chased around by lots of men? Merci, s’il vous plaît, to all of the above.
