2007-12-03 17:26:00 When we played Real Mallorca in 2003, the Spanish team's goalie was Argentinian Leo Franc o . And I was one of the 20.487 spectators, of course.

Panathinaikos is a better team
2007-11-09 10:48:00 Well at least they were yesterday when I saw them win 0-1 in Copenhagen. And their fans are better supporters than we are.

Another Copenhagen club: Lyngby BK
2007-10-23 19:59:00 FC København is of course not the one and only Cope nhagen club. It's just the biggest, oldest, best and the only one with real international class.
