Captain Johnson takes up the story...
It all began in 1902 when British arcaeologists (the best in the world) discovered a golden cup in the ancient sands near Heathrow. This cup, dubbed 'The Best in the world' by contemporaries, was later sent on a round the world luxury cruise with Reginald P. Bommer OBE, in order to give it glimpses of its birth planet from within a luxury 5-star cabin.
Ten days later, it died.
In honour of this most glorious cup, a competition was formed. It was decided that every four years, archaeologists would gather and disperse, trying to find a succesor to this 'World Cup'. This digging competition later evolved into the soccer game that we know today. Apparently it is just as exciting as those early days when people used to sit in the stands to watch old men with moustaches dig in mud.
