SKA Khabarovsk promoted to the Russian Premier League. 'Who cares', I can hear people think, but there's a fun little fact: Khabarovsk is in the far east of Russia and the closest away game is around 7000 kilometers away

The last Rome's Imperator retired from the football world. After 28 years when he play in the same team, he reject team like Real Madrid, and he become a symbol of Rome and of Italian football. 

I'm not a Romanist but yesterday was a sad day for all football fun and, when you see 70.000 people in the Olympic Stadium that cry for all the time, it's very sad.:(

Here the full video of yesterday:

lol yes Khabarovsk. I remember the first time they added Amur Khabarovsk to the hockey KHL, all other teams were really angry because of terrible scheduling. for example Slovan traveled 10 hours to play there and 2 days later they have another match at home

 

few years later they added another one club Admiral Vladivostok this was a real extrem http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2013/6/18/4443478/khl-super-schedule-travel-miles-vladivostok

and since last season there also a chinese club..if you search for a event where the athletes should be tired it´s definitely the ice hockey KHL

Why? I know he isn't the best, but he's had good results with Chivas.

His teams here played "pretty" football but with very bad defense (a bit like Lavolpe). Also he's a bit excentric when speaking to the press so many people didn't take him seriously  I guess his style is better suited for Mexico where teams play more open football.

Huddersfield have been promoted to the English Premier League after beating Reading on penalties.

Huddersfield have a famous superfan.... Patrick Stewart. Another reason for me to be happy with this result
