European Football Thread

[Phony Moderate]

Why are we talking about football on an International General Discussion board about politics?

This is a general discussion board.

FWIW, the answer is that somebody started the thread on this board, a long time ago, and it never got moved.

Brest, which comes from Ligue 2 this year and which hadn't been in Ligue 1 during a few decades, and which has one of the lowest budget, leads Ligue 1 for a few weeks, lol.

Monaghan United lost out on promotion to the Premier Division last night - losing their play-off after conceding an equalising goal in the last minute of extra-time and going on to lose on penalties 7-6.

8 years outside the top flight and counting...


Also want to point out this goal scored a few weeks ago by Matty Burrows of Glentoran in the Northern Irish league which has been nominated for the FIFA/Ballon D'Or Pushkas award, apparently. It's fairly stunning.

I prefer this goodie.
