Punchline time: In football, the best sniper is the one who shoots straight at the goal—no halfway-hits, and no blocking dust clouds from the audience. Sniper-style humor incoming:
Punchline 1: Aim small, miss small—that’s the motto when the opponent’s goalkeeper looks like a human wall and your confidence looks like a bad Wi-Fi signal.
Punchline 2: If the underdogs pull off the upset, the trophies will need a bigger shelf—and maybe a martini for the celebrations, because this cup has more twists than a pretzel factory.
