CONIFA European Football Cup Group Results 2017 [Reference: 2]

Report

Padania won the CONIFA European Football Cup in 2017, defeating the hosts Northern Cyprus on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Irish interest in the competition came in the form of Ellan Vannin, the Manx name for the Isle of Man, and one of six Celtic Nations in Europe.

Padania is an alternative name for the once-Celtic region of Northern Italy around the Pado Valley, including Veneto, Trentino, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Vallee d’Aoste, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Piedmont, all f whom have significant Friulian, German, or French-speaking minorities.

Szekely Land, Karpatalya, and Felvidek are the Hungarian names for the Hungarian-speaking minority areas of Romania, Ukraine, and Slovakia respectively.

Northern Cyprus is an Independent Turkish-speaking country recognised only by Turkey. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are independent, once minority-areas of Georgia, that are recognised only by Rissia and its allies such as Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Vatican Women’s National Team Results [Reference: 1]

Report

The Vatican City plays its own brand of soccer, with a blue card introduced in the 8-team Vatican City Football League to combat persistent fouling, whereby a player receiving the card spends 5 minutes in the sin-bin.

It is not a member of FIFA, one of nine sovereign Nations that aren’t, but has played International matches against Monaco (five times, losing every time, and only scoring one goal), as well as matches against club sides, including German Anarchist team St. Pauli, and other German teams Leisweiler Elf, losing 8-1, and Lutherstadt Wittenberg, a 1-0 win.

It has also played Swiss side SV Vollmond, winning 5-1 and Liechtenstein’s 8th Division side Azzurri Schaan, losing 8-1. In 2019 the Vatican City men’s team played Raetia, a Swiss province that speaks the fourth language in Switzerland (German, French and Italian are the other three), although it has never entered the CONIFA World Cup alongside non-recognised countries such as Northern Cyprus and Kurdistan.

In 2019 the Vatican City launched a Women’s National Team, with the blessing of Pope Francis, although the team’s first match against Austrian team Mariahilf was cancelled at the last minute due to protests in the stands against the Roman Catholic Church’s stance on Gays and Women.

Contrary to popular belief, anyone who is resident in 801-strong population of the Vatican City is eligible to play in both the League and National teams, not just Catholic Priests. [References: 1-2]

Santos (Brazil) Tours of North America 1968 [Reference: 1]

Report

Santos, with star attraction, Pele, went on a 10-game month-long tour of North America during June and July 1968. The tour started with three games against Italian side Napoli in New York and Toronto, attracting crowds of 43,000 at Yankee Stadium, home of Baseball’s New York Yankees, before moving on to play Midwestern teams St. Louis Stars and Kansas City Spurs, and then on to the West Coast where they played Mexican side Necaxa in Los Angeles, and then back to the East Coast to play Boston Beacons, winning all seven games before perhaps tiredness kicked in and the effects of so much travel, as they lost their next two games to Cleveland Stokers and New York Generals, before finishing up the trip with a win against Washington Whips.

The North American Soccer League had been established earlier that year, with the help of FIFA and the USSF, and was the first great attempt at bringing Professional Soccer to North America. The League lasted until 1983. Santos were one of the top sides in the World at the time, and rivaled unofficial World Club Champions, Racing Club of Argentina. They are based in the City of Santos in the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo.

Report

With the formation of the North American Soccer League in 1968 after the merger of the two competing League in 1967 (United Soccer Association, and the National Premier Soccer League – the latter featuring European and South American Teams guesting as American teams in a Summer League in USA), a number of the NASL clubs went on expended World Tours over the Winter of 1967-68 (during the North American off-season).

Dallas Tornado, under the stewardship of Bob Kap, who in the 1970s would go on to try and bring Professional American Football to Europe (see Intercontinental Football League 1970-1978 ), went on a 44-game tour, which resulted in 10 Wins 9 Draws and 25 Losses.

Other tours included Chicago Mustangs playing 9 games in Europe and South America, as well as playing in a preseason tournament in Florida against South American opposition, and the two Canadian Clubs, Vancouver Royals (who gave a good account of themselves in a 0-4 loss to the unofficial World Club Champions, Racing Club of Argentina), and Torinto Falcons.

Detroit Cougars managed big wins against the Jamaican National Team and a Haitian Club side, and St. Louis had a tour lined up that was to take in Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Guatemala.

Report

Santos, best remembered in 1960s soccer as Pele’s Club, won the Chilean Octagonal Tournament, a significant achievement, as the tournament included the National Teams of Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Santos won all their games with the exception of a 1-2 loss to Universidad de Chile. Included in the victories was a 3-1 win over East Germany and a 4-1 win over Czechoslovakia. East Germany finished second, and Universidad Catolica (Chile) third.

Other notable players were Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas, playing for Vasas in the Octagonal Tournament, who was one of the stars of the great Hungary team that finished runners-up in the World Cup in 1958, and who also shone in England in 1966. Another star was Czechoslovakian sensation Masopust, at the special request of the Chilean organisers, on account of the role he played in guiding Czechoslovakia to the Final of the 1962 World Cup in Chile.
