No Football on a Dead Planet

We're all up for people feeling passionate about their national side, regardless of how imagined, fictional and transitory the nation is, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't excited.

But remember, football as we know it is only made possible by vast networks of environmentally damaging processes. From the planes players and fans travel on, to the plastics in those weird boots that look like socks.

So just bear that in mind, and stay safe.

Pictured is a crab of the Lybia family, known colloquially as boxer, or pom-pom crabs from the sometimes poisonous anemones that they hold in their claws as a means of defence. This relationship between crab and anemone is one of mutalism - where the anemone is carried around, allowing food to wash over its tentacles more freely, and the crab is afforded a level of protection.
