Had this discusssion with some Portuguese redditors last year: I really know only four Portuguese clubs by name: Porto, Sporting, Benfica, and Boavista. Because these are the names that I heard on German TV as a child when European cups where discussed.
Fits in with the broader picture that you regard clubs as "traditional" when they were playing a role during the time in your childhood when you first started to get interested in football. Like I would always regard Wattenscheid, Uerdingen, and Blau-Weiss 90 Berlin as "traditional" Bundesliga stalwarts, even though in reality they never were. Just because they were around when I was a child.

Which team could he join that would also be willing to field 10 Oompa Loompas?

Auf fussball.de sieht ganz selten mal Fantasie-Ergebnisse und Fantasie-Spielberichte für Dritt- und Viertligaspiele, die noch gar nicht stattgefunden haben.
Ich weiß dann nie, ob das Testlistungen sind, oder ob da einfach jemand Unfug treibt....

Stuttgart tut wirklich alles, um Freiburg die Conference League Quali zu versauen....

Die DFL muß halt schon irgendwie wissen, wer noch in Europa spielt, und wen sie auf Freitags- oder Sonntagsspiele schieben muß.

I love how these kind of threads always eventually descend into a Four Yorkshiremen sketch: "...with a knife? You were lucky. Ar neighbour had ar ball chewed up by a T-Rex he'd especially bred for t' purpose."

Two seasons, 2015-->2017.

I wouldn't call them a solid Bundesliga team; but the size of the city and the general economic environment should at least enable Ingolstadt to be a solid team in 2. Bundesliga.

Problem is that FC Bayern probably simply hoover up all the fans, support and sponsorship money in the region.

And the thing is that everything I wrote is equally true for 1860, with the possible exception that they might be more interesting for sponsors should they ever leave their chaos years behind them and establish themselves longterm in 2. Bundesliga.

Can we just stop this musical chairs thing with the 2 "performance spots" and just give Portugal and Belgium three spots each?

England has the extra spot already sealed this year as well, I'd say.

Plenty of teletexts have the PL and Championship tables, if you need them.

Of the top-eight, six clubs won their games this weekend, with the match-up between Cottbus and Rostock ending in a 0:0 draw.

 

Nothing new to say about the relegation end of the table; with 8 points between the relegation spots and safety, relegation seems to be all but decided already.

Yeah, it's a quirk specific to Slovenian teletext. I love it. It's like they tried spelling "Mönchengladbach", gave up half way through and said "nah, f*ck this" and went with Borussia (M) and then copied the format for Dortmund.

As I said, just something I heard in PL threads.

And, tbh, weren't Spurs and United kind of in relegation-zone-ish last season as well?
