What will the first match played on another planet be?

@GoranIvanisevic

With intergalactic space travel now easier than ever thanks to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, the question on everyone's lips is "where will the first football match in space be played and whom will play?"

It's a question we get down at the food bank all the time and for good reason, the game is growing too big for one planet that's on the slide if climate change is to be believed.

So who should kick things off?

If this is us the fans that go to the matches shouldn’t go in protest against the Glazers and the lack of Halaand.

 

[wormdoktor]

I mean obviously Moonchester United will be involved.

They're on their way out, no more frozen assets!

 

[Back To Madeira]

Marc Overmars to come out of retirement.

Along with Mark Venus.

It will have to be an exhibition because of the gravitation differences. Or maybe they can wear space boots and use a heavier ball on Mars. I'm thinking around 2025. It will be FC Manchester Spacedragons vs. FC Liverpool Uranuses.

 

[Annouchez]

Surely El Classico? But I guess it isn’t what it used to be so… PSG v Man City because I heard plastic holds up pretty well in space.

 

[DWelbz19]

Melt the Glazers? Haaland and Greta up top against Mars

 

[48 hours]

LA Galaxy will be involved

 

[WeePat]

It's already happened.

 

[SplitzMagic]

I hope you're just clowning around OP.

 

[Samid]

Unstoppable force vs immovable object

 

[DOTA]

Everton vs. Aston Villa

 

[Big Ben Foster]

I vote for Liverpool vs Man City played on Venus, or the sun

Lots of applicable sayings from Total Recall can apply to this future timeline:

Cohagen, these people need players!

See you at the training ground, Richter!

Play out from the back, free Mars!

Two weeks!

 

[El Zoido]

Golf has already been played on the Moon.

I would guess the first Mars settlers will kick a ball around and technically be the first football game on another planet.

First actual teams from Earth to play on another planet? It’ll be 100+ years in the future if we haven’t destroyed ourselves by then. It’s a stupid question but also kind of interesting in a way.

It's horsechoker. Clowning around is his MO.

Men's team from Mars vs Women's team from Venus

 

[Green_Red]

A few of our games this season have looked like the players are on another planet.

 

[redrobed]

I vote for Liverpool vs Man City played on Venus, or the sun

But they’ll all di… oh.

 

[matt10000]

Mars Rovers v United Nations United

 

[Big Ben Foster]

But they’ll all di… oh.

For the record, before anybody gets offended, I'm being completely facetious (as this appears to be a bit of a joke thread anyway)

 

[The Oracle]

Planet Musk vs Planet Bezos

Supernova League

Ziggy Stardust Arena

[Frasbul]

[Luffy]

Two satellite clubs facing off against each other:
Moon Red vs Moon Blue
Barceluna vs Real Maredrid
Chelsea of Tranquility vs Arselenal

 

[studs]

Imagen want an interplanetary league final be like.

 

[Hectic]

Why has their never been a match before on an oil rig. What is the world waiting for.

 

[Marzo]

Burnley, those long balls will hang in the air forever, give their big boys a free header....

 

[ClosetDevil]

A match stick.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Send Maguire out to smash any asteroids with his head.

 

[Zlatanator]

Galacticos play at the Bernabeau

 

[Teja]

Robots on Mars

(or)

Bots in virtual reality. We already treat players like robots anyway, so might as well take the next logical step and simulate football physics perfectly in the virtual world and have them duke it out.

 

[Bebestation]

• In the Inter home planet far far away Galatasaray vs Juvent'us
• River Plate vs Boca Juniors playing at home earth in the LA Galaxy stadium all at the same time

 

[Ajr]

Is the match played on the moon? What if the ball floats away into space?

 

[Desert Eagle]

Once Messi and Ronaldo retire I'm sure we will get some version of Space Balls ft the Looney toons
