The Philosophers’ Football Match
Famous German philosophers (and one actual footballer) face off against the favoured Greek squad in this sketch from “Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl” (originally from their “Fliegender Zirkus”).

Alguém tinha que ter pelo menos uma idéia kkk

actually, if the dribbler with the ball has already beaten the last defender, there is not such thing as offsides, archimedes had already gotten past the last guy, so it doesn”t matter where Socrates is, he is onsides no matter what.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
@klank99 As you can see, Socrates is ahead of Archimedes, and infront of all the germans. Pretty clear offside
February 8th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
How was Socrates offside?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
so we can learn : marx was actually right
February 8th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Socrates was actully offside !!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
“and Marx is claiming he was offside.”

haha beckenbauer is only there because of all of his quotes in german magazines and the press… he talks so much BS that it”s almost philosophical

Q.E.D.

The only one I know is Walter Carnielli who is a top class logician. But maybe they get to include Socrates in their team who obtained a degree in philosophy after his retirement from futebol.

What philosophers?

This reminded me when Antartica played Siberia in the same tournament in an earlier tie…both sides were so niave they played football for the whole 90 minutes! What a meaningless,boring game! The match ended in a pointless 4-4 draw.
Thank God.,if he exists,for two classic sides like these two here.

I love seeing Nietzsche getting into a conflict with the refs, fairly appropriate.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
We needed Khan. (smile)
February 8th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
socrates WAS offsides
February 8th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
But where are the Germans getting their motivation from to argue its no goal in the first place? Confucius awarding the goal is an act no less or more real than the ball finding the back of the net. For the Germans to argue no goal, they have to testify to the reality of Confucius awarding the goal. You can”t deny the goal”s reality, and yet accept the reality of Confucius” awarding it.
Either accept both, or deny both. And if it”s the latter you choose, then theres nothing to argue about LOL

This is one version of futebol where Brazil wouldn”t dominate. With due respect to the philosophers of Brazil, they don”t have a very strong team.

Also ironic was that he was arrested and executed by the greek government.

There are some attention-grabbing closing dates in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them middle to heart. There may be some validity but I”ll take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want extra! Added to FeedBurner as well

Sorry for the huge review, but I”m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it”s the right choice for you.

The following time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to read, but I actually thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might fix should you werent too busy searching for attention.
