Dinner at Pizza Express was a pleasure after a busy day in Worcester. The most significant discussion of the evening revolved around football. (That's real football for any American readers, i.e. a game palyed with a ball controlled with the feet, what you'd call soccer).
The debate ranged over the wide range of foreign players in each team and whether any national teams were actually better than their best clubs. Then we moved on to the most significant part of the discussion. Who would play for a Worl XI or Galactic XI, but more to the point who would they play.
Given the almost infinite number of worlds in the multitude of galaxies, how many might have evolved life forms that play football and want to play in the Inter-Worlds Champions League. Now concentrate. Here comes the science....
How do you manage away games, and how do you choose the team given that it may take several generations to arrive at the game.
Sorry, head hurts.
