Ahhh.....

 

You won't like my new thriller about a football commentator (played by Gary Lineker) and his feisty sidekick (Mark Lawrenson) who investigate a conspiracy theory that states that St Paul was actually the manager Jerusalem Rovers, a job that's been passed down through the generations ultimately ending up with Sven....

I wondered how he got the job, this is the most rational explaination yet

What about Big Brother?

The Vatican City national football team is the football team that plays for the Vatican City. They are one of only seven fully-recognized sovereign states whose national team is not a FIFA member. Others are Monaco, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru, Marshall Islands and Palau.

 

 

Vatican City has played only two games against international teams, both ending in 0-0 draws. The first game was against San Marino in 1994, and the second game was against Monaco on November 23, 2002 in Italy.

 

The Vatican City recently played a match against a Swiss Club team, SV Vollmond on a small field just outside of the Vatican. Vatican City prevailed 5-1.

 

The Vatican City squad consists of the Swiss Guards (voluntary military force drawn from male Swiss citizens), members of the papal council and museum guards (Italian citizens). Since only members of the Swiss Guard can get the citizenship of the Vatican and they cannot be missed in large numbers for a long time, the national team can play only a few rare international matches often drawing a fair amount of interested press.

 

It is a tad geeky I know:rolleyes:

It will be white and gold, I bet. The papal colours. That is the same reason the spanish brought the potato to Europe from america, because of its white and gold flowers.
