Wittyness

Can you tell us the exact match?

I need to do some personal investigation. No matter how bad you're as a footballer you can't be in the field for 90min and not touch the ball.

Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo have scored in every minute of regular time. 1' - 90'

Oliver Giroud won the world Cup with France, he played the number nine role but didn't get a single shot on target through out the competition.

Most Arsenal superstars end up as flops at FC Barcelona despite their similar play

The popular answer is 2018 vs Denmark. it's actually a popular game so if it happened, everyone would know.

Garry Lineker, never had a card, yellow or red, during his career,

Giggs played all his professional football without getting even a single red card.

India scored Nigeria 100 - 1 by supernatural power and FIFA have to ban them.

🇳🇬 Nigeria once beat a team so badly… they changed the rules of football.

Fact: In 1993, Nigeria's Under-17 team was so dominant in youth tournaments that FIFA changed age verification rules because of them.

Why? Because the Golden Eaglets (U-17 team) won the FIFA U-17 World Cup three times (1993, 2007, and 2013) and regularly reached the finals. Their physicality and maturity made other teams suspicious.

This led FIFA to introduce MRI bone scans to verify players' ages — a system literally called "The Nigeria Rule" by some fans and journalists.
So yeah, Nigeria was so good at youth football, FIFA had to bring in medical technology to keep it fair. Sounds fake, but 100% true!

Undoubtedly, football is the most popular sport around the world.
From the thrills of the FIFA World Tournaments to the engagements generated by the Football Leagues, the round-leather game is second to none.

However, a lot of facts and statistics have been generated from analyzing and dissecting the game.

Some facts are listed below.

Since the inception of the modernized English Premier League in 1992, no English Manager has won the league.

Enzo Fernandez of Argentina won the World Cup before playing a single World Cup Qualifier game

Bobby Zamora and Obafemi Martins are the only players to score penalties with both feet in the history of the Premier League.


Lionel Messi scored 91 goals in a natural year and assisted 24 times.


Kevin Debruyne has won the PFA Player of the twice but he has never won the Player of the Month.



Please let's contribute to this thread. Add your own fact in the comments section.

🥅 An entire national football team disappeared... and no one knew where they went for days.

Fact: In 2002, the entire Zambian national football team (not the infamous 1993 crash, but a youth team this time) disappeared during a tournament in Europe, and it turned out they had all defected to seek asylum.

⚽ Barotseland had a national football team before Zambia existed.

Fact: Before Zambia was even formed as a nation (in 1964), the Kingdom of Barotseland — now a part of western Zambia — had its own national football team that played international matches in the early 20th century.

It even played against other British colonial teams and was recognized regionally.

Sounds wild, but colonial Africa had these kinds of quasi-national sports teams long before official independence movements were complete.

Cesare Maldini and Paolo Maldini are the only father and son to have captain both club and national team.

Didier Drogba messed (gassed or fouled the air) in a match against Arsenal. The smell was so much around the pitch that referee Howard Webb had to stop the match for 10 minutes until the smell cleared.

Tony Evrard was the only player in football history to score with same pattern on PS5, Xbox and on the pitch.

CR7 and Ibrahimovic are the only players to have score in all minutes of a football match 1-90.
CR7 and Gianluigi Buffon are the only players to have played with father and son for the same football team.
CR7 played with Sergio Conceicao for Portugal national team back in 2004 and is now playing with his son Francesco Conceicao.
Buffon played with Enrico Chiesa both for Juventus and the Italian National team and played with Francesco Chiesa of Liverpool when he was at Juventus. The funniest part was Buffon attended the naming ceremony of the younger Chiesa and even carried him in his hands.
.
Eidur Gudjohnson former player of Chelsea and Barcelona who's a Finland international was the first player to play with his father for a national team. Though the history wasn't complete cus he was substituted for his father and they never get to play together on the same field. That was the last match for his father

Now it's been over 6 years since he retired and yet Arsenal hasn't won the league title.
