With the first Mourinho-Guardiola Manchester Derby arriving on September 10th, fans have been attempting to construct their best teams from both United and City. The hardest team to make would surely be a five-a-side lineup. A decent pastime considering the international break, surely to end on September 27th with the release of FIFA 17.
Goals, the world’s leading five and seven-a-side pitch providers, have realised that five-a-side and FIFA can go hand in hand, with those signing up to play at one of their centres this coming September now automatically in with a chance of securing both a copy of the upcoming FIFA 17 and a brand new Xbox One S.
Boasting state-of-the-art five and seven-a-side arenas with the latest ProTurf playing surfaces across over 500 enclosed, floodlit pitches, Goals is the ultimate destination for every football fan from the skillful to the hard as nails. Goals have over 130k players every week, with every one of their pitches FA accredited. Every centre also has its own fully licensed sports bar with BT Sports, free wifi and function rooms.
If Pep and Jose were to enter a combined team, Sergio Aguero would surely be the first name on the team sheet. The Argentine has been in sensational form so far this season, as has England man Raheem Sterling, who could be the dynamic whirling dervish in the ultimate five-a-side Manchester group.
Wayne Rooney, love him or hate him, is another dream five-a-sider. New City signing Claudio Bravo, bought by Guardiola to be a sweeper keeper, would take his place between the sticks, while Aleksandar Kolarov, with his blockbuster left foot, would be a great choice at the back.
Rooney, who will remain as England skipper under new boss Sam Allardyce, will surely be in the England XI for their World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley in November – and you and five of your mates could be there to see him.
Goals have got hold of six tickets for the clash and are hosting tournaments, named the “Carlsberg 5”, across 46 of their centres (starting mid-September) to find a winner. For a £25 team entry fee, your team can battle it out to secure tickets for England v Scotland, with the winners of each individual tournament entered into a draw, with the winner receiving the six tickets and their travel and accommodation also paid for.
As if that wasn’t incentive enough to grab your boots from under your bed, Goals have also devised another way to score an Xbox One S and a copy of FIFA 17 – the Goals Skill Circuit.
Free to enter at your local Goals centre, with as many attempts as you like, the player must first dribble round a set of cones, hit a target, hit the crossbar, do five keepy-ups in a tight space, and finally sprint to the finishing cone and pop it on their head.
Easy right? But can you do it in the fastest time? The aim of the circuit is to find the UK’s fastest!
With three chances at winning amazing prizes, September really is the month to dust off the boots and get down to Goals. It’s not long now before the first Manchester Derby of the season, with a kick-about with your mates at one of the pristine Goals pitches surely the best way to pass the time.
