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 Notable Journeyman Goalkeepers in the European Top Leagues

By
  A few notable goalkeepers have had to become journeymen in the European top league in order to play regularly. Being a journeyman might have been considered a way to sense the adventure. Such is not entirely mistaken, as it does have its own advantage. Yet, not everyone becomes such due to their own will. Some have to be the journeyman because of the circumstance.  For a goalkeeper, it can be quite challenging due to the nature of this position. You can either cement your place in the team or move elsewhere if you do not fancy sharing the tasks as a second fiddle in the club. The latter often becomes their only choice to save their career. Otherwise, they would have gone unnoticed due to being on the sideline for too long. This season, Australian international Matthew Ryan has to deal with it again. He is unhappy with the minutes he has in AS Roma. Despite being more experienced than the first choice, Mile Svilar, he is overlooked by the new boss, Claudio Ranieri. Ryan event...

The Goalies who became emergency solution in the Big Teams

By
  Several goalkeepers have been signed to solve the goalkeeper crisis in the European elite sides. Goalkeeper is one distinguished position in football, which has its own term. The man between the sticks tends to have a longer career compared to the other outfield players, commonly shines in the late 20s and early 30s, and has bigger competition to cement the place in the lineup. The goalkeeping role has evolved too, following the introduction of the new back pass rule in 1992. The demand for goalies who are comfortable with the ball on their feet has been increasing, and the sweeper-keeper position is almost a must on the top team. The nature of this position, which is already hard to establish, has become even harder and more challenging. When the shot stoppers suffer long-term injuries, their team tends to become more panicked and has to sign replacements from the limited available names in the pool. Some even have to lure the well-known retired figure to make an emergenc...

The Intercontinental Cup MVPs with unusual tale

By
  A few best players in the Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup, had an unusual tale in their playing careers.  The year of 2025 marks the year of a new global competition from the world football governing body, FIFA Club World Cup. It is the expanded version from the previous edition with 32 contestants. The tournament will be held in the summer in the USA from June 14th to July 13th. It is believed to be a warm-up tournament for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States is one of the joint hosts of. With the new format, FIFA expects to elevate the prestige of this competition, despite its controversy and the criticism from the players and managers in Europe. Prior to the FIFA Club World Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, not the FIFA one, which was held in December 2024, was considered as the one to determine the best club in the world within the calendar year. It was a one-off match between the winners of the UEFA Champions League/Euro...
