Carbuncle Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 This article from the BBC ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58851880 ) comes with the headline "Helen Nkwocha - the first female coach of a European top-flight men's team". Care to guess which club she is the coach of? Spoiler Tvoroyrar Boltfelag. For a bonus point, care to guess which country's league they play in?

HeHasRisen Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) The headline technically isnt inaccurate. The Faroe Islands are a FIFA/UEFA member. Edited October 10, 2021 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are Andorra and San Marino - never heard them (or any of their league teams) described as top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It demonstrates well how click-bait works, though. I probably would have clicked that if I saw it on the BBC site. Certainly more likely than if the title was, 'a woman I've never heard of, is managing a football club that I've not heard of'. - type thing...

Its the top flight of football in that nation, you have clearly misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - the top division of a nations football pyramid. Very little to misunderstand. The fact its a tiny nation makes it slightly amusing though. Had she become coach of Manchester United, PSG, or even Sant Julia in Andorra, the line "the first female coach of a European top-flight men's team" would still be accurate Edited October 10, 2021 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHasRisen Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I am merely going off the line in the OP in quotation marks, which isnt inaccurate in the slightest. Failing to see the problem with this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
