Notice his lack of shoes!! His shot was a bit poor though, lacked accuracy straight at the keeper but his pace and power are to be admired.  One spectator said: “He could be a future striker for Indonesia.”.  We have to agree because like the rest of the team he couldn’t even score.

He’s probably better than the entire Indonesian team put together anyway.

False teeth are expensive and I don’t believe they have healthcare provision in Rio. Look what happened to this Granny:

Granny feeling the G's

It's coming out. Not a pretty site

The force is too strong..whoosh and it's gone..

no teeth, no shape; all worrying..

Apparently her Grandson helped her to organise the jump… hmmm… how about that inheritance Granny? … I bet she actually asked for a nice jumper.

Anyway, one of his monkeys kicked him in the head whilst he wasn’t looking. Judging by the technique on the flying sidekick, the monkey in the pic appears to be a blackbelt. The rest of the monkeys joined in and gang-bashed him. One even beat him with a stick (apparently). According to an observer, he was pretty angry at the monkeys afterwards. but I think it’s his fault, for having monkeys as students!

Not beaten up enough?  Why not discuss the monkey’s killer techniques on the Earth forums?
