iReport —

In 1920's Germany, 2 brothers started making sportswear.

One brother called his company "Adidas", the orher brother chose "Puma".

However, during World War 2, the brothers fell out with each other - and never spoke to each other again.

Even now, their vilalge is divided - you either work for one cpmpnay or the other.

However as iReporter Alun Hill explains, at last the 2 sides are to become friends, with a football match planned.

Presumably, each side will wear their own shoes!
