Question:Who won the match?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Who won the match?

I don't know that either side actually kept score while in No Man's Land .

I've put the piece below for those people who don't know what you're referring to.

What Was The Christmas Truce?
Although the popular memory of World War One is normally one of horrific casualties and 'wasted' life, the conflict does have tales of comradeship and peace.
One of the most remarkable, events concerns the 'Christmas Truce' of 1914, in which the soldiers of the Western Front laid down their arms on Christmas Day and met in No Man's Land, exchanging food and cigarettes, as well as playing football.
The cessation of violence was entirely unofficial and there had been no prior discussion: troops acted spontaneously from goodwill, not orders.
Not only did this truce actually happen, but the event was more widespread than commonly portrayed.

WW1? No score draw mate

i dont think it was recorded :S

Im sure their was no football between 1939-1945 for the second world war, so Im sure the same thing would have happened in the first world war, therefore there wasnt a match im guessing.

It was a Draw - - - a p^ssy British Major blew his whistle and called the game to a halt admonishing his 'Tommys' that they should killing the Germans not playing Ball after all it was Christmas Day!!!

"""Legend has it that on Christmas Day 1915, soldiers from both sides of the trenches in World War One met up in No-Man’s-Land for a game of football. Nothing official was kept of this brief meeting on Christmas Day between the enemy, so our knowledge of what took place has always been somewhat patchy. However, the death in 2001 of one of the men who took part in this match resurrected memories of the occasion.

Bertie Felstead, the last survivor of that football match, died in July 2001 aged 106 years.

Bertie Felstead, pictured above, remembered the following:

He was a member of the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

On Christmas Eve, he was stationed in northern France with his colleagues near the village of Laventie when he heard the Germans in a trench 100 metres away singing “Silent Night”. In reply, the Royal Welch Fusiliers sang “Good King Wenceslas”.

On Christmas Day, after some shouting between both trenches, he and his colleagues got out of their icy trench and greeted the Germans. Bertie Felstead recalled that the Germans probably were already out of their trench before the British got out. He claimed that nothing was planned and that what happened was entirely spontaneous.

A football was produced from somewhere – though he could no re-call from where.

“It was not a game as such – more of a kick-around and a free-for-all. There could have been 50 on each side for all I know. I played because I really liked football. I don’t know how long it lasted, probably half-an-hour, and no-one was keeping score.”

The truce ended when a British major ordered the British soldiers back to their trench with a reminder that “they were there to kill the Hun not to make friends with him.” The mood of Christmas friendliness was shortly broken by the firing of British artillery. Bertie Felstead described the Germans as “all right”.""

Peace. . . / / /

There is no convincing evidence that a match between the British and Germans actually took place. There are accounts of a 3-2 score, victory going in either direction according to the storyteller, involving bully beef tins, but a game with an actual ball is unlikely.

The Germans!

According to the History Channel Video, the officials for the game were German officers. They have the son of a soldier who was there talking about the game on that show. He says something to the effect that the Germans won, but they cheated.
