[blockquote]Police said they had identified a 26-year-old and a 29-year-old and had found a workshop in their apartment where they made the balls. The two are accused of causing serious physical injury, dangerous obstruction of traffic and causing injury through negligence, police said.[br clear="all"][/blockquote]  [a href="http://today.reuters.com/misc/PrinterFriendlyPopup.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2006-07-05T180919Z_01_L04727574_RTRUKOC_0_US-GERMANY-BALLS.xml"]Link[/a]

i am sorry if i am one of only a few readers who find this story amusing.

  it is stupid and dangerous,no doubt someone should be held accoutable but before i take a kick at a randomly placed soccer ball,surely i'd check the situation out.

  i am not saying the injured are at fault but some of the responsibilty does lay with the public.

What a bad joke. Give the balls to France, please.
