You've got a striker's vision if you can spot the three odd footballs in 30 seconds
Fancy yourself a baller AND a brainbox? Well, prove it by solving this brainteaser.
Brainteasers are a great way of keeping your mind active, whatever age you are. Sports fans know all about the importance of maintaining physical fitness, but cognitive health is also crucial.
In the same way that going for a kickabout with your mates can help improve your cardio, as well as maintaining your ball skills, quizzes and puzzles can keep your brain working hard.
These tricky puzzles challenge us to think outside the box and try to see beyond the surface of certain images. They can help us improve our perception and ensure our brain health is ticking over nicely.
And sometimes there's a way to combine brainteasers with football, like with this challenge from Betboo.
The gambling site, which offers sports betting, video slots, casino table games, and lotteries, has created a tricky teaser for the off-season, which will have footy fans longing for the return of the beautiful game in a few weeks.
Their brainteaser shows dozens of footballs strewn across the middle of a luscious green pitch.
But three of the balls are out of place as they have a subtle difference from the rest of the field. According to Betboo, the challenge is to find the three odd balls out within just 30 seconds.
If you think you've got what it takes, scroll down to take on the challenge.
How are you getting on? Have you been able to identify the rogue trio?
It can be quite tricky as the differences are very subtle. Need a hint? One of the balls is in the top half and two are in the bottom.
Did you manage to find all three? Or have you decided to give up? Read on to see the answer.
Picking out three balls missing a single line from such a packed field was no picnic, so congratulations if you managed it.
If football is your thing, then we've got a couple more brainteasers that will be right up your street. Are you able to find the odd ball out in this sporty image in under 20 seconds?
Sticking with sport, do you think you can find the 10 rogue racehorses trying to sneak into Royal Ascot in this image?
Elsewhere, just one in five people can crack this Irish-themed puzzle in under a minute. And this puzzle challenges you to work out which woman is the boy's real mum.
We also found someone on TikTok who posted three different brainteasers - hopefully that's enough to satisfy your puzzling needs for today!

There is no doubt Chris Hoy has saved lives and deserves Scotland's Champion trophy
Sir Chris Hoy is a national hero. Not only is he a six-time Olympic gold medallist, his courage to speak out about his illness has inspired the country. We all cheered him on as he won race after race across the world and represented Scotland with pride. He was our greatest ever Olympian when he retired but it has been his strength in the face of greater challenges that have made such a huge difference. Since being diagnosed with prostate cancer, he has helped raise awareness of the illness by speaking out. Charities have reported a surge of inquiries for tests since.

There is no doubt Chris has saved lives, despite the difficult situation he finds himself in. And he will do it again in September with his mass participation cycle ride starting and finishing in Glasgow. The Tour de 4 aims to raise £1million for cancer charities across the country and change perceptions of what a cancer diagnosis looks like. Chris is absolutely deserving to be given the first ever Scotland's Champion trophy at the Daily Record Pride of Scotland awards tonight. And he continues to inspire us by dedicating his award to those who are going through similar struggles. Our awards ceremony tonight will be honouring Scotland's unsung heroes, who have all made huge differences to others or in their communities. It will be an inspirational night and you can read all about the winners in the Daily Record this week. Prime example Many people will never forgive Tony Blair for his disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003. The war made the Middle East even more chaotic than it was before. And the consequences of the Iraq War are still being felt today as the region continues to be a threat to world peace. For many, Blair's legacy was tarnished by his willingness to back the US in the invasion. But that should not blind us to his achievements as a Labour prime minister. He made Labour a party of power, despite it having never served two full terms in a row before. Blair is still the most electorally successful Labour leader of all time, with three election wins. For that reason, Scottish Labour and Anas Sarwar are right to take advice from his institute. If they want to win next year's Holyrood election and beat the SNP, who better to help than the man who saved Labour from 18 long years in the political desert?

Russell Grant's horoscopes as romance in store for Aries
Today's horoscopes, brought to you by Russell Grant. Today's daily horoscopes for each star sign can be found below. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant who has been reading star signs for more than 50 years. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) The next four weeks are set to be some of the most enjoyable of your year. Activities, invitations and new opportunities will bring with them the chance to enjoy some fun and laughter, travel and entertainment. Romance too, is in store if you are single. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Today you are unstoppable. You just want to get on and do what you have to do and you are determined to enjoy this too. You know your own mind and because of this you are eager to share your ideas with workmates and housemates. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You will be happiest when able to get on with your work. You're in the right mood for tasks such as making phone calls, taking meetings and workshops and catching up on correspondence. This is also a good day for strengthening relationships with colleagues and clients. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) With so much going on it's not going to be easy keeping on top of it all. You should pay close attention and keep notes of everything you are committing to. If you don't, you may end up making promises that are going to be hard to fulfil. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) It isn't a good idea to prioritise personal fulfilment above financial security. You will want to kick yourself later for having spent money that should have gone on everyday expenses. If you have been through some difficult and tough times, these problems are nearing an end. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Still waters run deep. You might see someone everyday but this is your first chance to really talk to them and as you do, they will reveal aspects of their character that have previously remained concealed. You're intrigued and will want to find out more. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You're in for a hectic month ahead on the social front. Just be careful not to take on more than you can cope with. Friendship activities will be fun but they will also be demanding. Too much of a good thing could therefore have a negative effect on your health. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Managers insist that they are keeping all options on the table and their response to some last-minute suggestions will prove they're telling the truth. Be sure to make the most of this uplifting phase. Your drive to achieve, no matter what the task, will give you an edge over others. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) The actions of a friend have left you puzzled. For the sake of this friendship, it is essential that you do something about it. You might think about taking them to one side for a quiet word to find out what's wrong. Perhaps the signs have been evident, yet you have chosen to ignore them until now. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You're eager to tackle specific tasks. Issues that arise now will present new challenges. This will keep your mind interested and active. Meeting up with or talking to someone you used to work with will be particularly rewarding as you both inspire each other. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Your dynamic and cheerful mood will attract others like bees to honey. If you have feelings for someone but have not yet done anything about it, sharing an interest or attending an event together will give you a chance to find out whether they feel the same way about you. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Do your best to keep out of other people's business. Avoid getting involved in financial talks and dealings especially if you sense someone is going to ask to borrow some money. If you do get drawn in, it will take a long time to resolve issues that arise.

Amy Hunter helps Dragons roar past Typhoons in opening game of Super 20 Trophy defence
The 19-year-old followed up her midweek 155 with an unbeaten 94, as her side recovered from a precarious six for two to post 138 in a game reduced to 15 overs a side. Irish international Hunter hit 14 fours and a six in her 53-ball knock, sharing an unbroken third wicket stand of 132 with Waringstown's Abbi Harrison, who scored 31 not out. Alana Dalzell, playing on her home ground. picked up two wickets at the start of the chase to reduce the Typhoons to 24 for three, but they rallied thanks to an unbeaten 57 (six fours, two sixes) from former Irish captain Laura Delany. The required rate, however, just proved too much despite Delany's 68-run partnership with Leah Paul (31). It didn't get any better for the Typhoons in the afternoon game as they were trounced by the Scorchers. Delany (30) was again their top-scorer, but a total of 118 for seven looked light at the halfway juncture and so it proved. Gaby Lewis clubbed four fours and two maximums in a 14-ball 33, sharing an opening stand of 59 with Louise Little (32) that had them halfway to their modest target inside five overs. Eimear Richardson (28 not out) continued the carnage as the eight-wicket win was achieved with almost eight overs to spare. Just one match survived in the NCU Women's Premiership, as North Down joined CSNI in third place after a narrow 18-run win. Rebecca Nield hit four boundaries in a top score of 42 as North Down made 114 for six — two wickets for Holly Faulkner. Eva Wilson thumped four boundaries in a run-a-ball 30 to take the Stormont side to 61 for one before the wheels came off, losing the last nine wickets for 35 to be 96 all out — two wickets apiece for Gracie and Evey Keenan. Meanwhile, in the North-West, Coleraine moved top of the Premiership with a remarkable chase at Brigade. Scott Macbeth hit seven sixes in a top-score of 88, adding 116 in 13 overs with Iftikhar Hussain (86) to set what seemed a formidable target of 292 in a match reduced to 45 overs. All seemed set for a comfortable Brigade win as Macbeth's three wickets left the Bannsiders on 83 for four, before the game was turned on its head. Former Brigade player David Cooke and Marcus Poskitt both made centuries in a superb fifth wicket stand of 210 to seal the win with 15 balls to spare. Poskitt made 111 from just 97 balls (11 fours, six sixes), while Cooke reached his landmark hundred with his tenth four.
