The game ended 0-0!

Excellent mini doc !
I've been meaning to write about the glorious/disastrous Futbology app since 2019, when I found myself at a Danish second division game for no real reason, other than the app told me there was a match close to where I was. So here it is!

Solid article from the Goalkeeper on the story of former Rayo keeper Wilfred Agbonavbare (Willy)

El 25 de noviembre de 2020 falleció Diego Armando Maradona. Sobre si fue o no el mejor futbolista de la historia cada uno tendrá su opinión.
Lo que es innegable es que para mucha gente fue el jugador más célebre e icónico que existió jamás.
Cinco años sin el Diego.
Cinco años sin D10S.
Possibly the pic of the year.
