>The result was no more than Lincoln Red Imps deserved, a team containing a fireman, a policeman and a taxi driver having more than matched their illustrious opponents after completing shifts at their day jobs.
Charles Green
Yer I agree it worse.
Iceland have played international football for years, have good players and good facilities etc. Thier players play around Europe .
This is basically a pub team with like 300 fans, who have only started I play in Europe when they got accepted into uefa, if I'm correct.
Xavier Taylor
It's 100% worse because the teams players are actual full time candle makers, firemen, and general workers who actually worked a real life job before winning against professional footballers.
This game is legitimately going to be brought up at each of their funerals, everytime someone has an interesting story they'll mention this game to top it. This shit is probably in their top 3 best memories of their life, one of these people is a legitimate ex-felon and drugdealer.

That picture is fake m8
Colton Garcia
Brenny is a gift that keeps on giving.
David Martinez
Hey man, I'm American give me a break. I literally only know about this from what I googled and saw on Sup Forums. Wouldn't have surprised me if one of them was an ex-felon though. You European blokes are real into rehabilitation and second chances, which is quite alright.

That's more pro footballers than I would have guessed.

>Wake up >remember it actually happened It just gets funnier each day. Imagine if they get a 0-0 draw at Celtic Park
>can't train on Tuesdays as local MDS use their pitch.
Honestly, this whole site could not have come up with something better than this.
Christ.
Jaxson Wright
Well to be fair, I bet 1X. Quite not as ballsy as betting on them winning.
Angel Ross
How come they all have the same last names?
Ryan Young
Well seeing as all the Lincoln City players are all full time, you'd expect them to be. I'd say Gibraltar Lincoln are low end Conference/Top end Conference south sort of level.
Jeremiah Johnson
Same family, there aren't many people to go around once you take out old people, children and women
Adam Moore
You'd expect Lincoln City to hump them, let alone Celtic.
Ryder Campbell
Because they're basically a village pub team, Gibraltar is about 7km2, half of which is a mountain. They're all related
Jace Bell
Is King Brenny the worst manager in the world still stealing a living?
Grayson Green
WHO L I F E L O N G HERE?
Elijah Phillips
Yeah, it's either him or Mark Hughes.
Jaxon Perez
They would be lower than the conference tttt (to tell the truth) the gibraltan has a population of like 20000 divided up amongst like 20 teams
Xavier Wood
>tfw we almost let that fraud win the PL
Thank you based Slippy G
Ayden Morales
Him or Moyes.
Andrew Murphy
only until Steve Mclaren gets a new club
Wyatt Bennett
which one is the candle-maker tho?
Justin Davis
Nah, not really. The English NT should've been the crop de la creme (or w/e), best of the best players in the nation, no matter the money/budget/contracts and whatnot and playing in the NT is not only a call of duty but also a great honour whereas Celtic is just an average club with all its problems (Brendan being one of them kek). Also, English football was supposed to be the best in the UK and they pulled a stunt like this.
Robert Perez
>every team shares the same stadium in the Gibraltar league
Its alot worse. All Icelandic players are pro and play around Europe. Iceland also has invested alot in gras roots and facilities etc.
Icelands win was coming.
This team dont even have thuer own stadium, alot of them have jobs and they have only been playing in Europe since 2014 and normally only play 2 rounds max.
Celtic though.....
Jose Rivera
Their goalie isn't. Iceland win was coming since Englel was shit from the get go completely (apart the Wales game). Absolute wank and they were supposed to be the very best the nation could produce. Again, Celtic has its problems and barely played a game. _IF_ they win the second one, it'll go down in history as just an accident, a slip if you will (and don't we have plenty of those). Anyway, I can see your point, however I still stand by my opinion.
And all that being said, any team, no matter how weak they are "on paper" (as in theoretically) can pull a good game against a superior opponent be it Iceland, Lincoln Red Imps or even Celtic themselves (remember the Barca game?).
Dylan Kelly
Those Casciaro boys sure did their family name proud.
Xavier Diaz
can't believe liverpool fired that guy
he's perfect for them
Benjamin Thomas

Isaac Torres
Can someone explain to me how the fuck a 2.6 sq mi "nation" of 30,000 people can support 22 teams and 2 divisions?
Angel Rivera
A team needs about 18 players, a manager and maybe handful of other staff. So about 25 people or so. 25 times 22 is 550 and 550 is lot less than 300000. Also some of the players and staff are even foreign.
Adam Rivera
Because you have Spain to the north which you can literally walk in to.
Hudson Price
It's not a question of filling up the teams (though that is interesting too)
I just don't understand how there could possibly be that much interest that you need 22 freaking teams. And that's not even counting futsal
Alexander Foster
That's just how big football is in Europe.
Eli Watson
Most of the teams are amateur. Prettymuch whoever wants to play gets to play.
