On one side, God, Mary Poppins, and Buck Rogers (et al.). On the other side, Hitler, Caligula, and Mr. Hyde (et al.). Gooooooooaaaallll!
(It’s actually an interesting exercise in “Who would you put on a Good vs Evil team in Foosball?)

Ohhhh….
Daddy want. 🙂
I mean it has Rosa Kleb and everything….watch out for her kicks. ;P
Indeed. Though the ball has a remarkable tendency to deflate afterward …
For the record, in case the site vanishes, the teams (hyperlinked for the few that might not be universally obvious):
An … interesting selection of choices.
To further break it down:
Women: 2 Good, 1 Evil
Literary Characters: 4 Good, 3 Evil
Mythic Characters: 2 Good, 1 Evil
Statesmen/Politicians: 2 Good, 4 Evil
Religious Figures (Human): 3 Good, 0 Evil
Sports Figures: 1 Good, 0 Evil
All of which raises the question of … who else might be on the team? Assume nobody who’s been famous for doing stuff in, oh, the last 20 years (so no OBL, no Cheney, no Dumbledore, etc.). Let’s also assume human-shaped critters (no Pooh rather than Christopher Robin).
I’d love to get (just for the mythic touch) Lincoln, but not sure instead of who else. Superman instead of Flash Gordon.
Over in Evil … I’d toss in Stalin rather than Amin, and while the Child Catcher is fine, conceptually, as a Goalie, I’m sure there are worse “evil” literary characters who could fit the bill. And while Rosa Klebb is a nice touch (and female), Ernst Stavro Blofeld would seem a greater “evil” character from the Bond (cinematic, at least) canon.
Let me note that Mary Poppins is inspired.
