Messi's youth coach always tells a story, probably apocryphal, that I like about how he got Messi to make headers.
The coach prefaces the story saying that little Messi was a really picky eater, but he eventually figured out that Messi had a weakness for alfajores (a lethally delicious confection made of cookies sandwiching dulce de leche, sometimes covered in chocolate). First he started rewarding Messi for all his goals with the treats, but Messi was quickly eating way too many to be healthy for an athlete of any age. But the coach knew that Messi wouldn't make a goal with his head, so he switched it so Messi could only get a treat, but this time two of them, if he made a header. Next game, Messi dribbles through everyone, goes up the goal, chips the ball and heads in -- and then looks right at the coach and holds up two fingers.

What is Postcrossing?
The goal of this project is to allow anyone to send and receive postcards from all over the world!
The idea is simple: for each postcard you send, you will receive one back from a random postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
Why?
Simply because, like its founder, there are lots of people who like to receive real mail.
Why?
Receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of!) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises — and who wouldn't like that?

The UEFA cup final of 2000 was held between Arsenal and Galatasaray. The latter won the trophy on penalties. The whole team was celebrating in the dressing room when they heard a knock on the door. They opened it and saw Arsene Wenger with a bottle of champagne in each hand, he then said “I brought these thinking we would win but since you won, you deserve these.”
