Mumbai City got into the Asian Champions League (I guess it's the whole City Group thing that convinced the AFC closed shop to let them in)
not only that but got a win in Iraq too

Found out a few things this week. I always knew that my uncle had been a scout for England and Spurs under Glenn Hoddle and that he'd managed a non-league team to FA Vase Glory in his younger days.
That team now have a statistics page on their website. My uncle managed them for about 400 games, won precisely 75% of them and only lost ~50 games during his 10-year tenure.
Strange to think that given his track record, he didn't get the opportunity to manage a team higher up the ladder - or maybe he did, but he didn't want to. Next time I see him, I'll ask.
Shame that he's a bit of a **** and a lot of a bully. But still.

Not sure about this. Very hard to police. Surely just rely on common sense and personal responsibility.

The best ones are when the 'scorer' turns away to start celebrating until one of his team mates tells him the bad news. And who doesn't love the old footage of snowy conditions with an orange ball?
EDIT
Talking of early celebrations, items 1, 2 and 4 from this compilation are great; but this time it's the goalies prematurely gesticulating.
No idea what items 3 and 5 are doing here though.

Scotland in nanny state shocker.

Given most teams will do light training the day before and recovery sessions the day after, it shouldn't actually make much difference to a player's training load.
It's a step in the right direction when it comes to taking head injuries seriously in football and I'm pleasantly surprised Scotland is actually at the forefront of a radical change to the game.

Women's World Cup: Fifa president Gianni Infantino threatens tournament blackout in Europe - BBC Sport
Interesting story this. Seems to me like the hypocrite that is Infantino is not happy about whatever small cut he's going to get from this deal.
Has he given any consideration to the timings of these games? It's an easier sell for games at prime time TV viewing, these matches will be anything but that.

That's a slap in the face to the players and women worldwide... Hopefully, they will find a solution that gives the players, fans, and sponsors the World Cup they deserve.
