Just like the Bible always predicted, the final battle between Good and Evil will be played on the foosball table. Sadly, only twenty of these were made, and even if you could get your hands on one it would cost you £14,500, which I think is something like five million dollars.
You can click the thumbnail below for the teams' lineups. I have to admit: it doesn't look good for Good. The offense is a shambles: God can start things pretty nicely, but his finishing skills have diminished over the last 2000 years, and I don't see Mary Poppins and Gandhi stepping up to score goals in his place. Meanwhile, Evil's midfield is responsible for some 13 million deaths and unspeakable brutality, and though I like Flash Gordon's speed on the other side, Christopher Robin and Mother Teresa are obvious weak links against such tyranny.
Anyway, if you want to bet on Evil, I guess With Leather is the place to do it. (UPDATE: Thanks goes to The Basketball Jones for this)

It’s more like 30k. Guess I’ll have to take my 8 yr old kid around the local Community Colleges. He’ll understand. I understand Southern Illinois has a whole slew of them
Oh, you think? I had no idea that the exchange rate is approximately 2:1, and there’s certainly no way I could have figured that out using the Internet.
Brilliant! Evil’s goaltender is weak though.
Don’t fuck with Vlad. I’ll take the Evil team all the way to the bank.
-1 for leaving Scott Boras off the Evil team.
You see Matt I knew you weren’t a product of SIU Carbondale and that you’d have difficulty with the exchange rate being in a backwater town like NY. Sarcasm aside, that wasn’t directed at you but for the reader who wasn’t familiar with exchange rates. Did you go to college in Southern Illinois? If so I didn’t know or forgot if I did. I thought you lived there during HS and moved on.
Poor Ghandi. The guy lives a life of pure good, stops colonization in his country, and even gets assasinated for his efforts. What’s his reward? He’s relagated to the Religious Leagues and matches up with Caligula, inevitably being sodomized in the process. Geesh.
Also, Bobby Moore makes the team and George Best doesn’t?
F’ing English bias, Best scored more goals, shagged more birds, and drank more beer than Bobby Moore ever could.
Evil has a hell of a midfielder lineup there. This is like Man U. whooping up on Tottenham.
Why is Caligula blue? And, Mary Poppins and the Child Catcher…really? I realize these are characters from children’s stories, but since they’ve both been appropriated by Disney, shouldn’t they both be on the Evil team?
I really dont like Santa in goal for the Good team. Unless he has the reindeer with him.
Now that’s a lineup for Evil. Even Stalin couldn’t find his way onto the pitch.
Now I know what I want for Christmas: this and Rachel McAdams.
The lineup for Good looks like some nice people. The lineup for Evil just looks like some nappy-headed hoes. I mean they are some hardcore hoes.
+1 hodgedup
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Matt: Gandhi isn’t matched up with Caligula, they’re both strikers. Gandhi would be defended by Moore. Still funny, tho.
A little prematch analysis:
What a tremendous matchup on the left side between the Evil left wing and Good right wing. The Good goalkeeper’s ample frame should be a great line of defense, but the Child Catcher is no less imposing a figure on the other set of sticks, if not as physical.
The key for the Good team will be countering the tendency of the Evil midfield to resort to dirty tactics, including (but not limited to) murder, mutilation, mass genocide, and the occasional sliding tackle with cleats showing.
wow, jesus didnt make the starting lineup?
Interesting how they put Geordi Laforge on that team, right next to Hitler. It’s Idi Amin – well who knew he played Geordi on TNG?
