Das Boot are: (top row from left to right) Chris Woodley, Mukesh Vatish aka Michael Vatish, Steve Mills, Mark Bonnett. Bottom row are Garry Georgiades and Nikesh Sawjani, (not pictured: Dave Barnett)
Ref: [resigned] Well, Das Boot, I guess you're the winner by default.
Mukesh: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English
language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!
Das Boot is a website about football, about men at football. Das Boot is the story of young men, practically boys, hungry for adventure, seduced by Iraqi propaganda and enticed by the marvels of technology.
Eagerly, they set out to challenge the brutal forces of nature, to battle an invisible enemy. Many are inexperienced. They have yet to learn of the horrors of football; they know neither the loneliness nor the desperation. In the hell of indoor 5 a side football, the alternatives are grim: you either emerge unscathed or you perish. On the pitch, there are no wounded.
Of the 12 men playing for Das Boot in the early 21st centaury, 5 did not return.
