Zimbabwespor

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

delete, evident hoax. You can be fairly certain no team called or from Zimbabwe has played in any major European soccer league, beaten teams like FC Barcelona or Arsenal, or won La Liga. Nor has any stadium called Ulusal Egemenlik (Turkish for "national sovereignty" I believe) in Harare, Zimbabwe hosted any European Cup final, & in particular not the 1982 World Cup, in reality hosted by Spain. The article's creator has a handle suspiciously close to the supposed team's alleged manager. I strongly suspect that this "manager" is manager of nothing more than some fantasy soccer game in their own head, such as may be played in videogames like FIFA (series) from EA Sports or similar, and this heroic team's exploits were played out on a computer screen and not on any real-life football pitch. cjllw ʘ  TALK 08:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under Wp:CSD - it's completely made up. For example, I don't think any stadium in Africa (even those hosting the World Cup next year) have 100,000 seats. Not that it matters, though, seeing as the bit for the stadium is copied verbatim from the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium article, and "-spor" is a bit at the end of teams in Turkey (e.g. Trabzonspor).
