We sent @ElMengem to Vancouver for two games in one week to find out how Canada's third biggest city has become it's soccer capital. KICKING OFF: VANCOUVER is out now on the COPA90 YouTube Channel. https://t.co/jxN2KtPtuI

Thanks to @GloriousBanners, Saga Engdahl and @mffsupport1910 for their help in telling this story!

Yes, typically we’re all bout a good rivalry or grudge match. But sometimes those unlikely bonds between clubs are equally as fascinating.

Last Thursday, all living players from both teams in the 1979 final were in attendance and presented to the crowd before the game. https://t.co/4ypfU9emW1

"With the Nottingham fans we swapped our stuff: scarves, hats and even the MFF slippers I had. I remember giving them away and coming home without any shoes!" - Anders, Malmö fan

The latter is where you can find the roots of this friendship. Despite Forest ultimately winning out on that occasion, both sets of fans swapped scarves, hats and more whilst enjoying a hot May day in Munich, side by side.

Last week, the two met again for the first time in 30 years, having faced off previously in both the 1995 UEFA Cup and the 1979 European Cup final.

From European Cup final rivals to unlikely friends, Nottingham Forest and Malmö surely have one of the most obscure relationships in European football. 🧵THREAD

“They hate each other but need each other. It’s like seeing two squabbling brothers left in a room together!” We headed to Selhurst Park to answer a long-standing question: is Crystal Palace vs Brighton actually a derby?

Thomas Müller and the city of Vancouver are a match made in footballing heaven 🤍💙

But this Swiss born gift to global football made more than a club, some more than a man.
