S'a good side. I think we'll do well. Better than the current bunch(bar Breschin and Drain Ali).

Way do they always have these small team contests in Hong Kong, is it because it's little?

I suppose it's coz it's quite nice there, loadsa expats and it's pretty rich. Plus the locals can only probably take bitesized looks at 'foreign' sports.

Maybe, it's got nothing to with their little legs then?

I wonder if it'll be like those Mordillo cartoons that used to be in the Sunday Times (or was it the Torygraph) magazine, and there'll be playing on a pitch on the top of a skyscraper..

I hope thay have safty nets if they do, imagine taking a catch right on the boundry and losing your balance....
