Welcome to Waroffutbol! It is a football/soccer blog which focuses on unfolding unanswered or unpopular yet widely-searched content on this most popular sport on earth. The articles here are NON AI-generated and include news, analysis, and featured stories from goalkeepers and managers, who deserve equal credit as the outfield players. They continue to be underappreciated figures in football and should be given the same spotlight.


Regarding the name of this blog, the word 'war' is derived from my given name, Wardhana. As a disclaimer, it has nothing to do with violence. My experience as a football writer and contributor for various news platforms since 2019 ensures that the content is well-researched and analysed from numerous credible sources, without even any assistance from AI tools, except for the pictures.

The European Elite Teams’ Banter Era in Modern Football

By
  Each of Europe's elite teams has their own 'banter era' in modern football, during which they failed to win any prestigious titles. The 'Banter Era' is defined as a period in which a football team goes through difficult years without winning a notable top title, such as a league title or a continental top flight championship. In this era, teams consistently underperform, producing disappointing results and campaigns. In Europe, almost all elite sides and the powerhouses in the top five league, have experienced such a ‘dark age’, except perhaps Bayern Munich.

Competing in the Champions League has always been the target for all teams in the continent. Let alone the top sides, which is a definite aim for each and every season. No wonder that it is never easy for the elite clubs in the top major leagues to secure one berth in UCL.  However, such is not impossible. This season, three unlikely teams are making their Champions League debut. Bologna, Stade Brestois, and Girona are set to make one of the biggest steps in their history this week.

The Sons who Followed the Fathers’ Managerial Footsteps and Succeeded at the Top Flight

By
  Not many football managers’ son who follow their footsteps in the dugout and gained success at the top flight. The story of father and son in football has been dominated in the playing career or the father in the dugout and the son on the pitch. Yet, when it comes to the managerial career, such is rather hard to find, especially regarding the success in the top tier competition. The legendary manager, Brian Clough does have a son, Nigel, who follows his footsteps bytaking managerial career. Unfortunately, Nigel Clough’s spells on the sideline are barely close to his father’s glorious one. He mainly spent his career in the lower level sides.

The same thing goes to Sir Alex Ferguson’s son, Darren. He mostly spends his managerial career at the second and third tier leagues. T...
