Jesus will be their team captain.

Damnit! There are 12 apostles, plus Jesus, makes 13. Which appostles will make the cut, and who wont? Tune in next time.

Rofl, I can see it now. Some countries players won't play against them in fear of defeating them and getting condemned to hell for it. The pope will play goalie.

I bet they field a pretty good team if they decide to go through with it. It's like a second Italian team with a different name.

Nope. Mother Superior will play goalie. No guy will be able to score on her.
