Soccer is called “The Beautiful Game” with good reason. The free-flowing nature of the game usually leads to moments that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are entertaining. A well-timed give and go. A diving saves from a goalkeeper. A curling free-kick that hits the back of the net. It’s all art.

Occasionally, however, there are moments that aren’t quite as, um, exquisite.

13. Referees and their invisible spray have become a part of the game that you don’t really notice anymore. Unless the ref is this petty:

It’s not art, but it’s definitely entertaining.
