SPORTS UPDATE:
Man:
Well, there may be no score, but there's certainly no lack of excitement here, as you can see, Nietzsche has just beenbooked for arguing with the referee. He accused Confucius of having no free will, and Confucius he say name going book, and
this is Nietszche's third booking in four games.
Whistle:
[Phuiiih]Man:
And, oh, that is Karl Marx. Karl Marx is warming up, it looks as if it is going to be a substitution on the German side.Obviously manager Martin Luther has decided on all-out attack and indeed he must, with only two minutes of the match to
go. But the big question is: Who is going to be replaced? Who is gonna come off? It could be Jaspers, Hegel or Schopenhauer.
But it's Wittgenstein! Wittgenstein ---- only last week! And here's Marx! Let's see if he can put some light in this German
attack. Evidently not. What a shame. Well, now, with just over a minute left, replay on Tuesday looks absolutely vital.
There's Archimedes, and I think he's had an idea!
Archimedes:
Heureka!Man:
Archimedes out to Socrates, Socrates back to Archimedes, Archimedes out to Herakleitos, he beat Hegel, Herakleitos isa little flick, here comes on the bardboard Socrates, Socrates is there! It is in! The Greeks are going... the Greeks are going
mad! The Greeks are going there, Socrates scores, beautiful----the Germans are disputing it! Hegel is arguing that reality is
merely a ---- ethics, Kant by the categoric imperative is holding that ultimologically possessed only in the imagination and
Marx is claiming it was off-side! But Confucius blows the final whistle...it's all over! Germany, having chanced England's
famous midfield trio Vincent, Mogalov in the semifinal, have been beaten by the odd goal! And that's it again! There it is,
Socrates, Socrates heads it in, and Leibniz somehow has no chance! And just look at those delighted Greeks! There they are,
chopper Sokrates, Empedokles, and Deraklites! What a game here! And Epikuros is there, and Sokrates, the captain who
scored what must probably be the most important goal of his career!
