Who would win a "Philosophers' Soccer Match" between England and France!?
See this video of a soccer match between Ancient Greek and German philosophers:
http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=F2kAnTZBn!.!.!.So, if the following teams lined up, who would win:
1) England: Jeremy Bentham, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell, A!.J!. Ayer, G!.E!. Moore, Richard Hare, Alfred North Whitehead, Francis Bacon, Roger Bacon and William of Ockham!.
2) France: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Rene Descartes, Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Henri Poincare, Henri Bergson, Gabriel Marcel, Jacques Derrida and Jean Francois Lyotard!.
I am hoping there are enough philosophers on this forum interested enough in soccer to answer my question just for laughs!. I did not put it in the soccer section because I do not think the users there would be too interested in philosophy or know much about the philosophers!.

Rene Descartes would deduce his own existence, and then get to work trying to figure out whether the soccer ball really exists!.
By the time he's decided it does, England will have scored its first goal!.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau tries to get to the soccer ball by crawling around on all fours, as in a state of nature!. This proves terribly inefficient!. England scores again!.
Sartre exercises his radical freedom to stay on the bench, while kicking coach Camus in the shins for defending imperialism in North Africa!. And England scores again!.
As time runs out, the Bacons are moving the ball quickly downfield, while Voltaire flirts with the cute girls in the stands!.
4-0!. Game over!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
They wouldn't get anything started!.!.!. they'd be too busy fighting over their philosophies!.!.!. but if I had to choose one, probably England :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
Guess France will win!. I like them more :) And somehow I think they were better trained physically!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
