Very weird article:

Rugby fan cuts off testicles in a bet

A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported.

Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off", the paper said.

Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.

Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win in 12 years.

No, I did not see any of the matches. Although the news of this incident was part of the <a href='http://www.nu.nl/news/479116/122/Rugbyfan_ontmant_zichzelf_na_weddenschap.html' target='_blank'>main news</a> in the Netherlands for a while.

I will tro to watch te suggested game Sty. But only when it is on BBC 1 or 2. These are the only two British channels I can receive. Oww and <a href='http://www.ssvc.co.uk/' target='_blank'>SSVC</a> (British military just across the border in Germany), but I do not know whether they will broadcast the match.
