This is simply not true. The FIFA rulebook makes specific mention of obstructing the goalkeepers line of vision, as well as making a movement which deceives or distracts an opponent - actually touching the ball is not required...

I'm sure I've heard that, statistically speaking, you are actually more likely to concede from a breakaway from a corner than you are to score from said corner. Probably difficult to quantify (at what point does it stop being a 'breakaway' and just a period of attacking play) but, as you say...

The trouble is that generally the people who 'deny' climate change are not the people who have actually studied it, they merely take second hand info from the media, which will generally have some form of bias. The media is generally pretty terrible at reporting science stories of all kinds...

Given that neither of these are in the EU, is getting a work permit likely to be a problem?

It's not like you to make a snap judgement based on one game! :p
