.: NerdsFC :.
One of the highpoints of the World Cup football coverage so far has been the discovery of this great little SBS program they show at 8pm (Perth time) before the main game - Nerds FC.
In this reality show they have taken a bunch of bona fide Nerds, all around university student age, and started training them to form a soccer team, with the ultimate challenge of playing a match against a professional team in a 20,000 seat stadium. Along the way they face various challenges designed to build their confidence, teamwork, and physical fitness. In last night’s episode they went and played a game against the inmates in a high security prison, including a number who were in for murder. The previous night saw them recording the team theme song, which despite some of their execrable voices, still proved to be so annoyingly catchy I’ve been unable to get it out of my head since. The show also features brief bios of each of the guys, where they demonstrate just how nerdy they really are.
It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I found this show hilarious - check it out! Nerds that they are, the website also features a video podcast so you can subscribe for highlights of previous episodes.
