Philosoccer

I've just discovered this truly funny video by the Monty Pyhon's: Greece vs. Germany philosophical soccer. Enjoy!



What would be players of the Germany-USA physoccer, then? Let me think... Let's try that:

Germany
1- Planck 2- Fahrenheit 3- Gauss 4- Hertz 5- Geiger 6- Debye 7- Schrödinger 8- Pauli 9- Heisenberg 10- Bethe 11- Einstein
USA
1- Franklin 2- Compton 3- Bardeen 4- Dyson 5- Bjorken 6- Witten 7- Schwinger 8- Weinberg 9- Wilson 10- Feynman 11- Gell-Mann

Any bet?

Notes:
1. Pauli being Austrian has been excluded by the UK referees, P. Dirac, J. Maxwell, and I. Newton, during the game. This event led to the so-called Pauli exclusion principle which is now applied in the PHYFA physoccer World Cup.
2. Einstein decided to play for the German team, even though he expressed his desire to change team after the half-time.
