FC Königsberg 1724 [R for Results and Rhetoric]

[PileD]

it would be listen to the radio broadcast wouldnt it? seeing they havent played in 60 years, and it would of been on radio not TV, like das Wunder von Bern.

Are they planning to make a North American trip in the off-season? I'd really like to see them play Toronto FC in a friendly :D

Will they survive the CL?

Will they survive the CL?
I hope so, or else there's no real reason to watch the CL is there? none of the German teams are doing well :(

Where's Bayern when they're needed... oh, wait... :(

Obviously they were among the frontrunners during the introduction of TV in Germany:

Well, everyone likes to call their group (Derby, LA Galaxy, the fifth-grade girls of Sunrise Middle school) the group of death, but if they can get a couple of draws here and there I like their chances.

FC Königsberg 1724´s only player who ever played at national Level (1 match) was I. Kant, who was totally helpless against the Greek forward Socrates in the classic match Germany vs. Greece. A rotten defender indeed. He later claimed that it was against his conscience to foul the player or kick the ball. He also claimed that this was sufficient proof of the Football-God´s existence and demanded the implementation of a new ontological offside rule called the categorical imperative. The whole german team was a disappointment on that sad day. Nietzsche, our great striker, was only remembered for his arguments with the ref, and Marx came far too late as a replacement for setting Hegel from his head to his feet.

The game led to a restructuring of the german team and a new generation of players which formed a more succesful lineup:

Luhmann

Benjamin --- Freud --- Jung --- Kracauer

Adorno --- Toni Kroos --- Horkheimer --- M. Weber

Marcuse --- Habermas

[Alex_K]

Awww, come on... the ignorance of youth. The old team would destroy those. The midfield is ok... but comparing those youngsters to the old guard? Give me a break.

You just want to score with the girls by giving credit to Toni Kroos! ;-)

Bah, that line-up above would be lucky to lose by only a perfect ten goals to the old team.
Hegel

Wolff----Lessing---Leibniz----Herder

Goethe----Kant----Schopenhauer--Marx

Nietzsche--Feuerbach

[Subs: Abbt, Bauer, Engels, Schelling, Fichte, Weishaupt , Schiller ]

All acknowledge that the keeper, Hegel, is Ideal. No effort can penetrate his net.
A three man back line with the addition of the brilliant Leibniz as "Libero". Lessing anchors the center in case he catches the D-mid, Kant, in a critique-cal misstep. The cerebral Wolff dominates the right, and the daring Herder dazzles on the left.
A formidably dense, midfield. On the right Goethe plays like a man possessed. Pele' said "No one evokes the colors of the beautiful game quite like that Old Team right mid". Kant is a ferociously reliable defensive mid. Pele' said "breaking through the structures he sets up is categorically inconceivable". Schopenhauer has a smoking game that mirrors all the possibilities you can imagine. Marx is an evolutionary strategist, who at a glance can see the ebb and flow of the game forge the successive stages to the ultimate goal of Victory.
The attacking duo are a handful for the Gods, never mind mere mortals. Nietzsche has a fiery Will that is most powerful. Some describe his passionate creative force as Good, other less admiringly as Evil, but it is beyond good and evil. Feuerbach turned the team upside down when his thesis replaced Hegel as a forward and moved him back to keeper. But Hegel's counterthesis, working the ball smoothly to the left, Feuerbach and Marx build nicely on each other and the left side quickly becomes the most potent and feared attack of the Old Team. Said Pele' "Trying to stop them is like stopping the onslaught of History. At one moment you think you have a free hand and the next you are nothing but a reactionary".

[and behold those reserves. They could give the New Team more than a run'

Nice line-up... the coach should be fired for leaving out my homie Schlözer, however.

With a stare like this, he'll give Gooch a run for his money.

This as well... but come on, Adorno, Horkheimer and Weber. Can't touch this, as MC Hammer would say.

I think the coach was scared to put your homie on the team :D

Probably :D. Still, highly underrated player:

just as long as the coach doesn't permit players to play with mullets, i think i can root for them in europe.

[benztown]

We should put Wittgenstein in the goal. He has an absolutely clean record as he can convince any ref that he cannot truly KNOW that the ball has crossed the line.

I'd also like to see Cantor and Gödel somewhere in the team, those guys rock. Both of them are great on set(-theory) pieces.

little do they know that the mods are on this *muhahaha*

[BlinderPassagier]

oops...double post... my PC doesn't like philosophy jokes either!

[BlinderPassagier]

Meh...they're just jealous! ;) Either that or philosophy jokes aren't everyone's cup of tea!

(I still haven't figured out what "kicks" do anyway! :o )

They are for people who actually think popularity means something good. Of course it also means that these people have no sense of humor whatsoever. :p

[IASocFan]

Just a test

Editors note. This is a fictitious team and everything IN this thread has nothing to do with reality...except the Landon Donovan rumors. Those are true...I swear on the blood of a goat.

You've update post #1. If BP hadn't asked about kicks, I would have never know. Wow, virtual teams - just like virtual reality, virtual storage, and virtual lives!

Even better than fantasy teams!
