With the World Cup around the corner it was nice to see world leaders gathering for a multinational kickabout ahead of the upcoming EU Summit. The match, played between various EU Prime Ministers (plus the Peruvian President) and EU Commissioners, was a lively affair which managed to raised 100,000 Euros for charity.

There may have been a distinct lack of Boris Johnson moments (see the now famous rugby tackle here) but there was plenty of action nontheless. Fourteen goals and not a single metatarsal injury - now there is a rarity!

See the full match report here.
