We’re finally back from the international break and club football is rip roaring again from continent to continent.
Let’s have a whip around the wonderful world of football on the internet to see what’s making waves these days…
Ready for Battle
The football world’s favorite Argentine lower division club – Sacachispas – was back at it again at Copa Argentina’s Round of 32 the other day.
Sacachispas – which garnered world wide web fame after running onto the pitch for a Copa Argentina match wearing superhero masks - returned to dominance in the pre-match costume game by running out of the tunnel with plastic swords and shields and gladiator helmets.
Unfortunately – their pre-match intimidation tactics fell short on this occasion – but we look forward to what they are going cook up next year!

Other Wolves fans piled on – and the rest is history:

Ligue 1 side Montpellier was on the wrong end of an unfortunate production error ahead of the season as ALL of their authentic and replica kits for team and fan use featured a badge that misspelled the club’s name “Montpelier”. While the club is already busy taking care of refunds and replacements for all those new kits affected – they came up with a mighty clever way to get rid of a large number of these shirts…
Shipping them all to the town of Montpelier, Vermont in the US.
