FC Sheriff - The Champion's League Mafia Team in Transnistria, Underworld Podcast MINI EPISODE

You may know that FC Sheriff just became Moldova’s first Champions League team. You may not know that it’s actually based out of a mad, post-Soviet breakaway state called Transnistria - or that its billionaire owner runs the “smuggler’s heaven” like a Mafia, turning up to training with armed guards and dishing out cash wages in envelopes.

Cavolo : questo video ha previsto il Futuro. Sheriff Tiraspol - Stella Rossa 1-0 ... Sheriff Tiraspol - Saktar Donetsk 2-0 ... Real Madrid - Sheriff Tiraspol 1-2 ... con una squadra di giocatori presi dalle riserve di squadre scarse, che non giocano nemmeno in nazionale e quando vengono in Italia fanno panchina nel Lecce in Serie B, o giocano 5 minuti in totale in Serie A con il Torino.
Ma guarda caso, Gazprom sponsor dell'Uefa, ed è una compagnia russa, e va avanti una squadra di Tiraspol in mano a questi personaggi russi.
