While chillin' on the Lofoten,

After a long wait a new book fell on my doormat from Fernando Casal Bértoa & Patrick Dumont.

"Party politics in European Microstates"

The first ever scientific account I know of that discusses the working of current political systems in all European Microstates.

#Monaco, #Andorra, #Liechtenstein, #SanMarino, #Montenegro, #Iceland, #Luxembourg, #Cyprus and #Malta.

I was wondering what is the best free football statistics software, to do some hobby stats. I have used old style programs like "Das Fussball Studio" (see pic), but haven't found anything that can replace it or solve the flaws of it (like no unused subs possible)

Any statto's out there with an opinion?

Frigg Oslo FK is the last women's team in #norway qualifying for the newly formed 3rd women's division after winning 5-0 against IK Gimletroll Kristiansand (Google translates that as "Gimmick Troll").

A division that further includes Porsanger (near the Nordkapp), Kirkenes (near the Russian border) and the famous club Fart (only in Norway a normal club).

I was dreaming of football on #tahiti.

Not only about AS Pirae who replaced the New Zealand during COVID on the FIFA Club World Cup. With their top goal scorer Roonui Tinirauarii (see pic - who again in the league scored 17 goals in the first 3 matches).

But other clubs and the 5 stadiums they play in (see map). Especially the one club from island Moorea: AS Temanava

Am I the only one who loves those Riccardo D' Agnese maps? Why is he not on Mastodon.

Örgryte IS, the oldest club from Sweden, from Swedish football capital Gothenburg (@SanderS) has retained their position in the Superettan (Swedish 2nd level) after a nail-biting play-off match against Sandviken.

They will join the other Gothenburg teams GAIS (almost just as old) and smaller Utsiktens BK at 2nd level to create some further derbies.

I still think the book of Wouter Veenendaal from 2015: Politics and Democracy in Microstates is the best publication until now for those who are curious about how Microstates operate. With all advantages like small scale democracy, but also all disadvantages like nepotism.

He travelled to San Marino, St. Kitts and Nevis, Palau and the Seychelles for the book.

I thought lets have some logo fun !

This are the 34 clubs that next year (2023) will play in the top two Finnish Divisions (men and women). Note if a team has a men and women team or a reserve team in 2nd league, the logo is only shown one time. Note the two PK 35 logos are really different clubs.

I was happy ! Since for those who did not know. The oldest club from the Faroe Islands TB Tvoroyri from 1892 has been promoted to the Betri Deildin (Faroese top level in football).

This makes the top league spread better, since TB Tvoroyri is from the remote Suðuroy island.

With a beautiful shirt off course as well.

1/2
