We are really enjoying a program on SBS called Nerds FC.

The premise - take 14 nerds, teach them to play soccer and have them play a professional team. Yes, it's a reality tv show, but it is really really good.

We're up to episode 3 this week where they record a team song and film a video clip - very entertaining seeing them dancing with the brazillian samba dancers.

The show's website is also good - it has an rss feed and offers podcasts, as well as clips from the show.

Very progressive SBS! Where's the lyrics to the team song???

BTW - SBS is going to be repeating the program later in the year, if you have missed the first 3 episodes.
