Even Against a 200-Man Opposition, Athletic Bilbao Wins Soccer Match

Athletic Bilbao of La Liga took on 200 local children in a match for charity recently and we have video evidence of such ridiculousness via Asylum UK:↵

↵Originally, the game was supposed to feature 200 kids, with 100 playing in each half, but that plan fell through and that’s how you end up with 200 kids against the La Liga squad, according to EITB.com.↵↵The game was a farewell for Joseba Etxeberria, 32, who made 444 appearances over 15 years for Athletic Bilbao.↵

↵↵As for the game itself, Athletic won 5-3, which should come as no great shock -- and not because they’re professionals, but because the kids just couldn’t quite figure out how to properly space the field with 200 of them out there.↵
