And now for a brief feel-good interlude.......we all need one of these.
The fans of FC Copenhagen are one of three candidates for Fifa's "Fan Award 2017". They are competing with those of Borussia Dortmund (for welcoming Monaco fans into their homes after their postponement of their bomb-attack Champions League match) and Celtic (for their impressive display marking the anniversary of the 1967 "Lisbon Lions" European Cup winners) Their gesture after their team's Danish Cup Final win was touching and well deserving of acclamation. The players should also be recognized for their true, honest acknowledgement of their fans.
I've liked the FC Copenhagen fans for their sense of humour since 2015 and their "We wished for Malta" banner. They were in Wales to play Newtown in a Europa League qualifier. Newtown had narrowly beaten Maltese team, Valletta. in the previous round. Hence the banner displayed by the 50 or so die-hard Danish fans, most of whom with open umbrellas: a dig at the stereotypical Welsh weather as opposed to that of the Mediterranean.
