On the day of the World Cup final another footie match is taking place. Bhutan and Montserrat, 205th and 206th in the world respectively (or possibly the other way round, I'm not entirely sure) will be kicking off in a keen contest designed to settle, once and for all, who the worst team in the world is. Place your bets.

Or not, as the case may be.

do you SEE, matt, you forgot to add "and other throwdowns" to your thread title. people don't like when you mess with the formula.

the bhutanese used wild lemons and rocky pitches to play football up until very recently, you know. for that alone i'd say Go, Plucky Little Bhutan! there was also that bhutanese film The Cup, all about monks in a tibetan monastery who want to watch the World Cup.

They played football with lemons? Melons I could believe.

apparently so. what they used as goalposts is anyone's guess.

Monks, perhaps
