Throughout history there have been numerous contingents who defied all odds and been victorious in the face of defeat. Such groups have been built from the ground up by fearless leaders such as Roman military general and salad extraordinaire Julius Caesar, and comprised of unwavering alliances founded on solidarity who give everything to bring home the W. These include the likes of the 1995/6 Chic
ago Bulls, the West Indian Cricket team of the 1980’s, or perhaps even the Brisbane Lions of the early 2000’s. Picard’s Flute FC, unlike such teams, do not posses the skill, motivation or put simply the care factor to taste success of even remotely the same proportions. In fact, the main motivation for players is arguably the $4 Emu Exports on offer, which many squad members swear because of their crisp coldness and watered down taste are a perfectly reasonable hydration fluid. Perhaps the lack of talent within the squad can be put down to the majority of the player's Anglo-Saxon heritage. When asked about the polarising talent of the Flutes, which ranges from draft prospect James "eyelashes" Harrold to the horribly uncoordinated Joshua "if Sam says it's ok" Leigh, goalkeeping prodigy and the team's resident Italian Adrian Marsegaglia said: "Italians - we're not Jews." There is no "I" in team, but as Joshua "Jenkins" Antoncich, Picard's Flute's own self proclaimed Kobe Bryant says, "there's a f**king m and an e though." Such confidence and talent unfortunately ends there for the Flutes, whose games are characterised by a mix of outright flukes and woeful displays of Zac Dawson-esque skill. Feared across the league for their physicality and lack of knowledge on futsal’s rules, the Flutes often find themselves by trailing by staggering margins, with each week’s opposition likely victors before kickoff, it just remains to be seen by how much.
