During the World War I "Christmas Truce" in 1914, what did the soldiers from both sides do together?
Correct answer: Played Football (Soccer}

That's what people should do instead of killing each other. Great story if only for a little while...

The picture kind of gives away the answer…

See the film Joyeau Noel for a dramatization.
Romans 5 8
Was told the soldiers exchanged (shared) food, told family stories, & sang Christmas carols as well. That was when the generals got together & moved the soldiers around, to break up the camaraderie the “enemy” soldiers forged that day.

DawnyG, You are correct. Reports are that the resistance forces (France & UK) heard German soldiers singing Christmas carols in their language. The resistance forces eventually joined in singing the same songs in their languages. White flags went up on both sides & a football game commenced. Unfortunately just for that day.

DawnyG, true the U.S. entered WW 1 in 1917.

The question says this happened in 1914 during ww1 , then goes on to say the match was between Germany and the US !! The US was not involved in ww1 unless they meant to put the UK

RUBEE🚀ROKIT, The war wasn’t decided by the game, a few of them just played it on Xmas Day.

only in a perfect world could a war be decided by sport,ie;Russia v Ukraine.
