I think this might be the most bizarre soccer story this year. Ref calls off the Mauritania Super Cup Final in the 63rd minute, and orders a penalty kick shootout, apparently at the demand of the country's president who was attending the game and was disgusted with the slow tempo of the game.

 

Edit: This might be only the second most bizarre story the President of Mauritania was involved in, a few years ago, he was airlifted to a France hospital after being accidentally shot by his own security forces. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/14/mauritanian-president-shot-by-mistake
