FOOTBALL Reason why Barcelona has stopped offering breakfast to players
The reigning LALIGA champions have ceased offering breakfast to their youth teams.
The Kings League includes a number of unconventional rules, including a five-minute suspension in the case of red cards instead of expulsion and two-minutes for a yellow card.
There are also video game-type "secret weapons" that each team can use in each game.
According to Wikipedia, the weapons include gaining an automatic penalty, having a numerical advantage for two minutes (a player is suspended from the opposing team), a goal being worth double for a certain duration, a wildcard, and the ability to steal the opponent's secret weapon card.
