The origin of all discussions about football philosophies is probably the "philosophers' football match" by the English comedy group Monty Python. In the four-minute sketch from 1972, Germany's philosophers play against their Greek rivals in Munich's Olympic Stadium. Perhaps the greatest minds in world history - from Aristotle to Karl Marx - are reduced to the essential points of their philosophy and made fun of uninhibitedly, but incredibly well.
