You can get a season ticket middle tier, near the front, half way line at the San Siro for AC Milan for €440.
Of the seven Fulham season ticket categories, only the cheapest one, at £349, is cheaper than that. About 80% of Fulham season tickets are more expensive. |

Pfft. 1 European Cup. He was fortunate to be in the Inter team who were the only ones who escaped Calciopoli, the Barca team who were one of the best of all time and the PSG team who steamrollered a weak league because of a mountain of cash, all without ever being the best left back in the world. He would never have won as much if he wasn't Zlatan's mate. I think we can all easily name ten left backs from the last twenty years who were better than him.

The M50 motorway exits/junctions are numbered 1 to 17.
However there is no exit/junction number 8. |

There was also an 'unofficial' World Cup held in 1946 (which Brasil had applied to host) which was basically just the South American Championship.
Argentina beat Brasil 2-0 in the final but FIFA fail to recognise this as an official World Cup. |

Berlin was due to host the 1916 Olympics but WWI broke out. Germany was also due to host the 1942 World Cup. |

The 1956 Olympic Games were held in Melbourne, Australia.
But because Australia has a strict 6-month horse quarantine rule, it was decided that the equestrian events would be held in Stockholm, Sweden. Australia sent an equestrian team to Sweden and didn't win any medals. Hosts Sweden won 3 golds. |

1986 - Paraguay 1990 - Belgium 1990 - Cameroon 1996 - Spain (on pens) 2002 - Denmark 2006 - Ecuador Not exactly top teams and they should really have lost to Belgium, Cameroon and Spain. Also the win on pens is their only win in the Euros and they were at home. |

England have only won 6 knockout games at tournaments since 1966 and 1 of them was a penalty shootout.
