To all of you. On this day, December 25th 1918, there was an ongoing war between the Allies (British, French, USA, Canadians[?]) and the Axis powers (Germany, Austro-Hungary) yet they put all that aside and played a game of football. I think we can learn alot from History, so be nice now you little kids! Enough with the jibba jabba chitta chatta, no more arguments! ;D

Wasn't that on 1914 that they had their first Christmas day truce? Each side started singing Christmas Carols, celebrating together and the generals saluted each other. Happy moment. Only some sectors played football together
Anyways....Merry Christmas everyone. Today we shall not debate.

dunno how true that story is but 1914 makes more sense since the war was over by december 25 1918

Above post is true, from what I've seen/read.
I ponder who won, if you tally up the total number of games played along the front. I have a guess but I'll let you guys debate over it.
