Football / Fußball

Since the 'Leicester City miracle' started to emerge, there has been a degree of excitement building up in Leicester, even among people who normally aren't particularly interested in football (such as myself). The international football 'statistics' facility offered by Spiegel Online is impressive. The sreenshot below shows the league table after round 23 in January.
