As you can see, Nietzsche has just been
booked for arguing with the referee.
:42:06
He accused Confucius of having no free will,
and Confucius he say, "Name go in book."
:42:10
And this is Nietzsche's third
booking in four games.
:42:14
And, who's that? It's Karl Marx.
Karl Marx is warming up.
:42:17
It looks as though there's going to be a
substitution on the German side.
:42:20
Obviously manager Martin Luther has decided
on all-out attack, as indeed he must,
:42:25
with only two minutes of the match to go.
But the big question is:
:42:28
Who is he going to replace? Who is
going to come off? It could be Jaspers,
:42:31
Hegel or Schopenhauer.
But it's Wittgenstein! Wittgenstein,
:42:33
who saw his aunty only last week!
And here's Marx!
:42:35
Let's see if he can put some life into
this German attack.
:42:38
Evidently not. What a shame. Well, now,
with just over a minute left,
:42:42
a replay on Tuesday looks absolutely vital.
:42:45
There's Archimedes, and I think he's had an idea!
:42:48
Heureka!
:42:50
Archimedes out to Socrates, Socrates back
to Archimedes, Archimedes out to Herakleitos,
:42:56
he beats Hegel, Herakleitos, a little flick,
here he comes on the far post,
:43:00
Socrates is there! Socrates heads it in!
Socrates has scored!
:43:03
The Greeks are going mad! The Greeks
are going mad, Socrates scores,
:43:07
what a beautiful cross from Archimedes!
The Germans are disputing it.
:43:10
Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a
priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics;
:43:14
Kant, via the categorical imperative, is holding
that ontologically it exists only in the imagination;
:43:18
and Marx is claiming it was offside.
:43:20
But Confucius has answered them with
the final whistle! It's all over!
:43:24
Germany, having trounced England's famous
midfield trio of Bentham, Locke and Hobbes
:43:27
in the semi-final, have been beaten by
the odd goal, and let's see it again.
:43:31
There it is, Socrates, Socrates heads
in and Leibniz doesn't have a chance.
:43:35
And just look at those delighted Greeks.
:43:38
There they are, "Chopper" Sophocles,
Empedokles of Acragus, what a game he had.
:43:43
And Epikuros is there, and
Socrates, the captain,
:43:47
who scored what was probably the most
important goal of his career.
