I knew Gibraltar had one very dominant team, but I always thought it was a bit more close in Croatia :yikes:

 

Here the championship will be decided Sunday, the last day of the competition (apart from play-offs for the European spots and stuff). Ajax and PSV apparently are both equal in points :p

It can't be considering that they govern all of the football and national football federation (which is full of mafia and corruption), plus they have their 2nd club with more than 10 players loaned (Lokomotiva Zagreb), and they are playing in the same league! Yes, it sounds like it's not real, but it is true. Even their fans don't support them anymore, average of spectators in  Dinamo matches in last few years is about 1500-2000 spectators. All of that awful atmosphere also infected on national team, that's why almost no one cares about the upcoming Euro here.

CAS tells Fifa to reconsider Gibraltar’s membership ‘without delay’

 

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ordered Fifa to reconsider Gibraltar’s application for membership and submit it to congress as soon as possible.

The Gibraltar FA had appealed to Cas against a Fifa executive committee decision, taken in September 2014, to reject its application for membership.

CAS said on Monday that Fifa’s congress “shall take all necessary measures to admit the Gibraltar Football Association as a full member of Fifa without delay”.

Gibraltar has been a member of Uefa since 2013.

 

FIFA Statement on CAS decision concerning Gibraltar

Following the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) concerning Gibraltar, the FIFA Council is expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting on 9 and 10 May 2016 and decide on the next steps, including a potential request to amend the 66th FIFA Congress agenda in order to submit the Gibraltar FA’s application for FIFA membership

    • So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
