Taking us off topic, I've just discovered what appears to be the Not Affiliated to FIFA World Cup

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_ConIFA_World_Football_Cup

''first edition of the ConIFA World Football Cup, an international football tournament for states, minorities, stateless peoples and regions unaffiliated with FIFA''

And what a cracking tournament it appears to have been though obv Darfur will have been disappointed with their 0-19 defeat to Padania & 0-20 loss to South Ossettia in the GRoup stage. Congratulations to the Isle of Man finishing as runners-up

EDIT : Danger Fourpence - Zimbabwean defender with CAPS Utd FC and team-mate of the equally brilliant Clever Muzuva, Raymond Undi, Blessing Makunike, Marvel Samaneka, Heavens Chinyama, Givemore Manuella, Gift Makolonio, Method Mwanyazi, Limited Chicafa and Zambian Laughter Chilembe. Surely the finest named team ever.

Winning player and team right there.

[Cantona'sCollar]

Wolfgang Wolf the former manger of Wolfsburg

Years ago, the first time I heard that a man called Wolfgang Wolf was manager of Wolfsburg, I had to check their official website to make sure I wasn't being conned. I still check wikipedia now and then to make sure I am not going crazy.

I entered this thread to mention him. No debate, surely - the greatest name in football history.

Edit: Nortei Nortey & Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink are not far behind, though. Fred, too.
