What a surprise! I only remember them being Brazilian champions in 2001 and then basically disappearing for the next years. They don't seem to have many supporters even in their own state.

From 10:45 or something (the audio doesn't seem to be synched with the video :p), that 'music' suddenly starting in the background when it's decided :lol: 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

we just heard an interesting story about 1978 FIFA World Cup. this is about how much England and Scotland hate each other in football :d

 

The night before Iran-Scotland match, Iranian coach had a surprising guest in his hotel room. Ron Greenwood, England NT manager at the time (England failed to qualify for that World Cup) who came to Cordoba in Argentina to help Iranian coach about the Scotland match !!! :lol: this sounds like nothing nowadays because everybody knows everybody but remember at the time Iranian coaches were living in a cave and had no clue about European teams. after 2-3 hours meeting with Greenwood Iranian coaches decided to make a change in startling lineup because Greenwood advised them to put someone "dirty" on Scotland's star Archie Gemmill. they used someone who never played as starter to stop Gemmill. and that guy didn't just stop their star but he also scored the equalizing goal  for Iran in second half (which was Iran's first ever goal at the World Cup in history) 

 

Scotland was a very good team at the time they were even thinking about winning the Cup , they even beat the Netherlands (eventual runner up) after this but still got eliminated because of that draw against Iran.

 

the whole story came to the light here because the guy who scored that goal "Iraj Danaeifard" just passed away few days ago. :(

What a tragic story. 

Stuttgart's captain, Christian Gentner's father passed away at the Mercedes-Benz Arena during their Bundesliga match against Hertha Berlin today, due to a stroke. 

Gentner gave interviews on the pitch right after the game, but later became acquainted with the bad news and hurried up to a sponsor lounge where the father received medical treatment, but sadly he died. :(
