I saw a brief clip but missed where it happened. Generally you see some soccer game in the UK when some fan jumps in the field stark naked and runs around until the cops catch him and drag him off. This was the reverse. All the players were naked. The referee was naked. The spectators were naked. Even the cops were naked (but they wore those helmets of English cops). The brief scene I saw was that they were getting ready to kick one of those penalty kicks where they have a barrier of players blocking the direct line. Generally you see a line of guys holding their jewels and these were no different. Anyway, as the guy is getting ready to kick, a guy _fully dressed_ jumps into the field and starts running around while two naked cops chase him down and finally take him away. Questions: WTF is this? Was it just something not real? (like for a movie) Or do they relaly have nudist soccer in the UK? If so, is it a gay thing? (I did not see any women) Do they have a women’s nudis soccer league too? I’ve never had any interest in soccer but a women’s league might arouse my interest _\__ ---

Even if nudists played soccer there’s no reason whatsoever to expect there to be nudist police in attendance. I’d be very surprised to find that there are any stadiums in nudist camps anyway, and there are no “clothes optional” days at any stadium I’ve ever heard of. ---

Did they blur his clothes in the video clip? ---

Sounds like the ghost of Benny Hill. ---

I think I have found it. I believe it is a commercial advertising T-shirts (not entirely sure about that though) or something like that in Northern Spain and it is meant to be a joke on the stereotypical British fans. That’s why the cops have British hats on. [This link](http://www.tvn.cl/galeria/galeria.asp?id=2112&imgv=1) allows you to scroll through a dozen pictures of the spot. [This link](http://www.24horas.cl/p_video.asp?archivo=181202desnudos.rm&IdSec=Busq) is RealAudio so I cannot see it because I refuse to install that crappy spyware. Anyway, I found the answer. I wish I would be interested in spending time finding the answers to more important questions but when something bugs me I can’t let go
