I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.
I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.
I don't play against any team in particular. I play to fight against defeat.
The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.
I don't play against a particular team. I play against the idea of losing
After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from the favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left back. I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.

Not really. I watched some Chelsea games and I don't really like the way they play.
