I'm loving this thread about football . I mean, who doesn't love goals, right? But seriously, did you know that Arsenal was the first team in England to field 11 internationals in the same starting lineup? That's some crazy talent! And can we talk about how cool it is that a team like Dundee United has done back-to-back 2-1 wins over Gala Fairydean Rovers at the start and end of the year? It's like they're saying, "Hey, we're gonna win this game, no matter what!"

I also love the questions from readers – it's always fun to dig up old trivia. But I'm curious, when did the last English top flight goal not get caught on camera? That's a mystery worth solving!

ugh can you believe it's been so long since we've seen a goal not caught on camera?? like what even is that? meanwhile this team in scotland just bookended the year with a 2-1 win over gala fairydean rovers...like what is the probability of that happening? and another thing, who scored all those cup knockout goals for leeds united back in 68?? gotta get to the bottom of that memory thing

I just love reading about all this football history stuff . I think its crazy how some of these records are still being searched for, like that last goal in the English top flight not caught on camera . And can you believe Leeds United won their first major trophy back in 1968? That's so cool! I've been trying to get my hands on some old football videos online and its amazing how much information is just out there waiting for people to discover it . I'm definitely going to have to do some more digging myself, maybe even try to recreate that 2-1 win over Gala Fairydean Rovers

I mean, can you even imagine having 11 internationals on the same team? That's like picking your entire squad from a bunch of random players . I was reading about this earlier, actually... I think it was back in February when some club made that record and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. And then there's this Ballon d'Or winner who never played for France... that's wild! The questions from readers are always the best part, though. I had a friend asking about the last goal not caught on camera in the English top flight and I was like "dude, let me check my old footy stats"... turns out it was that one Arsenal vs Liverpool match from 2002?
