There's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now.....
11am on the 11 November 1918.
I searched for pictures or artwork showing the opposing sides playing football on Christmas Day 1914 but nothing jumped out at me. I also searched in vain for a report on the match which the Germans won on penalties, despite having gone a goal down to a hotly disputed goal (in off the butt of a rifle), awarded by a Russian Kaiser who was miles off the play in downtown Volvograd.
Football - the global game. Choose football. Choose life.
