For what exactly, we are not sure.

On the eve of the World Cup in Brazil last year, the FIFA preisdent, Sepp Blatter mused, “we shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup, we will have inter-planetary competitions. Why not?” ZURICH, SWITZERLAND - MARCH 20: FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter speaks during a press conference at the end of the FIFA Executive Comitee meeting at the FIFA headquarters on March 20, 2015 in Zurich, Switzerland. (Photo by Philipp Schmidli/Getty Images) We all laughed like hyenas at this piece of lunatic rhetoric, so typical of the man from Switzerland. Suspend your disbelief for a second though and imagine Blatter's scenario being true. Planet Earth would be playing against other planets. "But what would our flag look like" you're probably wondering. Wonder no more, because Oskar Pernefeldt from the Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden, has attempted to answer this conundrum with his graduation project entitled 'The International Flag of Planet Earth'. earth_flag Would a match against the Moon represent a local derby?
