BraveheartGordon Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 In the Botswana Premier League they have surely one of the fiercest derbies about between the police XI and the prisons X1. Bet that gets a bit heated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 17 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: German football is littered with some amazing names, particularly in the old DDR. However I like this one: 1. FC Willy Wacker Hechtsheim 1973 Not sure if it's related, but Andy Capp is called Willi Wakker in Germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Lyndon Dykes started his career at the fantastically named Mudgeeraba before later playing for Surfers Paradise Apollo in Australia. Livi signed Matej Poplatnik from Kerala Blasters which sounds like a kids TV show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrooge1928 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 On 08/12/2020 at 16:16, Arch Stanton said: FC Santa Claus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Santa_Claus ETA badge Football isn't the most popular sport in Finland, and especially in the lower leagues you get the feeling they are not taking things seriously. Apart from Santa Claus there's Honka in the top division, FC Jazz in the third (I wonder if they produce a monthly magazine) and Sexypöxyt – it means "Sexy Pants" – in the fourth. There's Keltik, Rangers, Tikka, Blue Eyes Team, FC Tarzan, Sporting Kristina who sounds nice, and Sepsi-78 which sounds like an infection. If you want to be offended there's JIPPO, JäPS, Black Islanders and Åbo Club de Fútbol (the 5.4% of Turku's population who speak Swedish call the town Åbo. Why a Finnish club's name is a mixture of Swedish and Spanish I don't know). Finnish club names are often contracted to 3-5 letters. Lohtajan Veikot is "LoVe" in the League tables. Helsinki basement team RalliPerseet – according to Google Translate, "Rally Arses" – is shortened to "RaPe", which the 70% of Finns who speak English might not find all that funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkmenbashi Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I like NAC Breda's full name NAC Breda was founded on 20 September 1912 when the two clubs ADVENDO (Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning (English: Pleasant for its entertainment and useful for its relaxation)) and NOAD (Nooit Opgeven, Altijd Doorzetten(English: never give up, always persevere)) merged to one club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
