War of the Worlds

Imagine a scenario.


Earth is under attack.

By those fecking Martians (who else).

And all the great minds (and George W Bush) meet and decide that instead of all out war, there will be a footy match between a select bunch of earthlings and a bunch of Martians. Whoever wins gets to rule the other planet.


And bear in mind that because of advanced technology, even fictional characters and dead people are able to come alive to defend their planet.


After much deliberations, numerous shortlists etc etc, they finally managed to select the following

Defenders

Obelix (CB) - (the "big" man...get past him, go on, try)


Wolverine (CB) (the man can't be beaten...simples)

Bugs Bunny (Left Back) (has loads of experience in fighting and defeating Martians)

Albus Dumbledore (Right Back) (knows all the defensive spells you can think of)


Midfielders

Hercules (DM) - (a perfect sweeper of loose balls, has loads of experience in sweeping)


Rob Anybody (RM) - (will be of great use as a winger, esp as he can pass the martian fullbacks without detection and steal into their penalty box)


Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson (CM) - (well someone has to rally the players and inspire them)


El Diego (LM) - a team of myths and legends surely needs a God?

Strikers

Genghiz Khan

Alexander 


That left the position of goalkeeper. 

And let me tell you, there was lots and lots of controversies.

Everyone wanted someone who cannot be passed. So all the great keepers like Yashin, Banks, Dasayev, Kahn, Buffon, Maier, Casillas etc were all considered and rejected.

And then, the Arsa fans popped up and demanded that a world team needs a world class keeper and ergo should take the man, the myth, the legend, the icon - Flappy.




After the resultant hilarity and derisory laughter died down and the Great Pedophile and his legion of fans rode off in their moral donkeys, the rest of the world finally managed to decide on

King Kong



So what about the managerial positions?

It has to be HIM as the manager.

And to help HIM, the world decided that

Sherlock Holmes would be perfect as someone needs to analyse the movement of the players and find clues amongst the Martian bench to figure out their plans.



Let the games begin.
