I seriously love the colours. Nice and definitely effective! Would love to see our purple shirt from a few years ago, with the same print colour scheme

Father and son sing songs from each football terrace in Italy has become a phenomenon on TikTok. Quite fun actually :wink:

Should have been a Rolex calciopoli style. Would have gotten his attention better.

We need the pastéis de nata index to understand if this is good value or not.

My personal favourite was the bunches of flowers a team gave to the referees before the start of their game. I think it was Roma about two decades ago.

The last leg in my multi - the match between Melgar and Juan Pablo II in the Peruvian Liga 1 has been postponed this morning due to doubts over the engineering and structural integrity of the stadium. Last week a roof fell in a food court in the same city, Trujillo, killing six.

Looked up the stadium, looks like a serious mountain/ volcano nearby. I what they were worried about in particular? (Looks well loved by the photos)

Spurs games have been banned in North Korea because the team is captained by South Korean star Son Heung-min.

The idea of a team being banned bacause theyre captained by the worlds nicest footballer is stunning.

For a minute there (and admittedly before I clicked the link), I thought this was saying that Spurs were banned from playing in NK, and I was wondering exactly why or how that could even be a thing.

To be fair, the North Korean league is the best league in the world.

Kim Il Sung is said to have scored a average of 300 goals for his NK club team, whilst winning the Puskas award every year abd leading his nation to several consecutive World Cup wins.
