35/60 for Top 3 Clubs by titles won.
27/52 for the Australian clubs, which is about right for me.
31/50 for the A-League awards. Most were just guesses, shows how little attention I pay to those.
Nice work on yours OG, good fun there.
Not going to bother with the English Football league clubs. It would do my head in trying to remember every two-bit club the Football Weekly crew have mentioned over the years.

2nd last Schalke 04 go into the half time break 5-2 up against the reigning Champions Bayern Munich.


In Black and white-
FC Nürnberg 7- 3 Bayern Munich - 1967-68
Bayern second in the league and 3 points behind Nürnberg have to win to keep up.
(2 points for a win back then)

Suicidal koala alert!

The Spanish team Getafe, having just limped to a 16th-placed finish in La Liga, two places, a single point and a bit of goal difference away from relegation, have created an advert to promote their wares during the close season. It features a manic depressive piano playing koala bear whose life is so hideous he has become "42 cm of unhappiness", and thus storms to No1 in the list of surreal adverts for football clubs

I give you a good little clip put together by some Azkal fans (Philippine national side) after their win over Mongolia. If only we could engender such enthusiasm for such a lowly ranked opponent!


I trust this clip wont result in an unseemly rush to Manila from some of the single members of the forum

So much cussing. :D

Amazing!
On the one hand it was cringe inducing and on the other it was riveting viewing knowing the outcome the game and wondering if he would have a stroke or something by the end.

Like waiting for a crash to happen.
