I guess we aren't going to have a formal 22 players + changes for
playing a futbol match, maybe a "futbol sala" with like 6 or 5 players
for each side is a better option IMHO.

If we don't have too much players from the Rest of the World, we can
play a GNOME v/s GNOME match or maybe doing teams like europe vs america
or something like that. The issue is play and having a great time.
