Kickoff time!

And they're off!

As far as introductions go, this is more like your Sunday afternoon pub league than the World Cup. There's no national anthems, no processions out the tunnel with little kids decked in replica kits, no animated team sheets and no highlights reel... it's straight to the centre circle to talk about everything that matters, on and off the pitch.

Why politics?

Because nothing, especially not football, exists in a vacuum.

Why football?

Because it's not a matter of life and death, it's "much more important than that."

Because "in today’s world many people find football the only area of identity in which they recognize themselves and in which they really believe. Whatever the reasons may be, collective dignity has a lot to do with the passage of a ball flying through the air."

And because the world isn't flat, it's round!

So we're gonna keep our eyes on that big, round ball we call Planet Earth, and update this site as much as we can, filling it with whatever interesting articles, pictures, stories, and dodgy Youtube replays of goals we can either find, or create ourselves... keep checking in with us to see what's going on!
