This may seem slighly odd, but here goes. I just moved into a huge apartment which allows me more room for my treasured foosball table. The problem is that I'm in an extremely crafty mood and the foosball table is a little bland. My grand solutions is to make the table a representation of either a historic non-helmet football game or a long-standing rivalry. My only prerequisites are that the team logo's/flags are relatively simple so that they are easy to duplicate and that they are from either international or Premiership play. Any ideas?

England vs Germany should do it. Easy flags and one of he longest running hate/hate relationships in football.

No prob, ttrendel. This is an intriguing post. I also hope you'll join us when the new SpoFi EPL Fantasy League starts up.

Holland and Germany if you want hate / hate. Leeds and Real Madrid would be good.

I think I'm leaning towards England/Germany. Thanks, squealy. Brazil is definitely out after I realized how hard it is to paint Ronaldinho across the back of one of the miniature players. I'll have to post up some pics after I finish airbrushing each side of the case with the respective flags.

I'm currently leaning towards Germany/Brazil as the 2002 WC finalists, but I'm a little leary of painting Brazil's flag by hand. (sorry I knocked you off the front page, WC2002 and wfrazerjr).
