Reverse binocular football took YouTube by storm, not because the football was any good but because no one could see, kick or do anything without falling over. Which is always funny.
Never to be left out of a crazy fad, FHM went along to VIVA’s one-off reverse-binocular football match, which was launched by Matt Le Tisser and oddly, some cheerleaders – Sophie ‘Big Brother’ Reade and glamour model Rhian Sugden.
It was a frantic game with loads of goals. The binoculars made it hard to track the ball and players spent ages pirouetting on the pitch, trying to spot a ball which had just shot past them.
The match ended in an 11-11 draw, with FHM sinking a powerful… own goal. Then finally when we took the crucial deciding penalty, we fluffed it and kicked it straight to the keeper’s hands. Out on penalties, in true English style, what better way to prepare for the World Cup?
