I was reading a BBC article regarding England's Game tonight in the a Woman's World Cup and it mentioned Ada Hegerberg, who has chosen not to represent Norway despite being voted as the world's best player.
Intrested to try and find out more I Wikipedia her name with no luck finding out why she's not playing but as an aside I did discover she had played for a Norwegian team call "FL Fart" where she ripped through defences and when she left created quite a stink which got me thinking what other teams have amusing names

Crystal Palace. It sounds like a fantasy castle filled with little dollies and twinkly music.

I also found "Deportivo Moron" an Argentinian team where players, supporters and everyone connected to the club can claim to be morons.

IK Start. Norway giving us some corkers. Their style of play has been described as “mackerel football”. :bowdown:
