#1 This is great news until the first guy gets a boner and then both teams will have to have their throats slit to preserve honor.

#2 Football authorities have dropped restrictions on men watching women play soccer, a senior official said on Saturday.

An announcement made from behind bulletproof glass, it sounds like.

"Anybody can come and watch the matches," Pakistan Football Federation technical director Mir Farooq told Reuters.

Could you invite UBL?

"We have made adequate security and seating arrangements for everyone."

Delta Force will take care of security for UBL. Then they'll take care of UBL.

When the women's championship was launched last year in the country, the PFF did not allow unaccompanied men to watch. Only men who came with their families were allowed in.

I guess some letches in the PFF didn't have families.

Farooq said the women players had to wear baggy tracksuit trousers and long-sleeved shirts and their matches were to be supervised by a women referee, helped by one male and one female assistant.

I suppose the male has to be a blind eunuch?

Wait a minute, no chastity belt?!

"We want to promote women's sports but we are also aware of the sensitivities associated with women's sports," he said.

National football coach Tariq Lutfi said more women were playing soccer, particularly after the World Cup. As a result, 12 teams are taking part in this year's competition, up from eight last year.

Yay!

So they finally got around to importing at huge Japanese wide screen display? Are they going to wrap it in a burkka first?
