A spokesman for UEFA said, “This is a departure for us – and it isn’t happening – but we thought we’d try it. Although we won’t.” How this impro show will affect the league tables, the points system, who Grand Theft Impro will play next if they win the impro show, whether you can “win” an impro show* and whether GTI will be taking Marcus Rashford is yet to be established.
*You can. Theatresports.
GTI‘s core line-up of Dylan Emery, Charlotte Gittins and Phil Whelans will play in an attacking 1-1-1 formation allowing space for our special guest from Canada, which isn’t even in Europe.
