The Reborn Foreign Football Thread

We'll need Rheims of paper to catalogue these puns.

The list will be Toulon.

That’s not true though, is it? Lyon Bastiad.

It’s Nantes right.

Lost 0-3 against Slovakia tonight. Sorry, no French puns.

They're playing the proper team including Kasper against Wales tomorrow now.

But this sort of thing where lower league players turn out for the National team has happened before and it was Wales themselves who were involved back in 1930.

Boreham Wood were knocked out by Dunfermline on penalties in the last round. Welsh and Northern Irish teams have been in the Challenge Cup since 2016-17, Irish clubs joined last season, and this is the first year with English clubs.

I was surprised to find that some Scottish clubs have to start in a Preliminary Round whilst the 'foreign' clubs only join the competition in the second round.

Doesn’t seem very likely other leagues would be interested if their clubs had to enter before the Highland and Lowland League clubs.

Still seems to be a totally devalued competition in this world of totally devalued competitions. Imagine if both finalists, or all four semi-finalists, were 'foreign'.

Oh yeah it’s totally worthless, but it has been for years.

It's something that's been right under my radar; I'd never even heard of it.
