captained by the Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.
It's a WTF enough story without me misreading that as "captured by the Chechen leader".

I'd been wondering how Gullit was getting on in Chechnya - still wondering after reading this. Subject seems ripe for a dispatch from Jonathan Wilson, though Kadyrov is probably a difficult interview to line up.

The meaningless summer friendlies have begun - Bayern Munich v Zenit St. Petersburg streaming free (and legal) here. I guess Gazprom money must be hard to pass up. Klose has just equalised for Bayern - he scores when it counts.

0-0 at the half. physical, pinball-style, some genuine chances for nk. the red and yellow cards in the background are mesmerizing. also it took me a half hour to notice there's no advertising beyond a few sad fifa banners.

love that link, a bunch of it making my head spin (like congrats netherlands antilles, i had no idea). good detail: the England v Scotland match of 1967, which first gave rise to the idea of an unofficial world championship, really was a UFWC title match.

Harsh punishments of our time:
NEW DELHI, Dec 29 (Reuters) - India's oldest soccer club, Mohun Bagan, have been kicked out of the league and banned for a further two years after refusing to take the field for the second half of their crowd trouble-hit derby against East Bengal earlier this month.Mohun Bagan were trailing their arch-rivals 1-0 on Dec. 9 in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata when one of their players was hit by a stone hurled from the stands.The match resumed after a near 15-minute interruption but Mohun Bagan, founded in 1889, did not return to the field.

Huge match in the Ekstraklasa on atm. Legia (59 points) vs Lech Poznan (57). Still three games to go but the winner of this match would expect to take the league. 0-0 so far.

Mkhitaryan scored his 25th league goal of the season, finishing three ahead of Sergei Rebrov and Maxim Shatskih's former record total. 25 in 28 games from midfield. Given that they got £30m for Willian and want £40m plus for Fernandinho, idk what price Akhmetov would put on him.

Guangzhou Evergrande (Marcello Lippi, Lucas Barrios, Dario Conca, Elkeson) vs Shangdong Luneng (Raddy Antic!, Marius Niculae!) should be a decent match. You'd expect Guangzhou to win quite comfortably, as they do most weeks, but Shangdong have been in remarkable form since Antic took over.

yeah there are ilxors who'll understand that much better than me but my understanding is that South America has a lot of this kinda racial subdivision expressed thru the language, and then put that thru a translation into English and it won't be clear
