Directory assistance

Many professional club names include a geographic clue as to where they might be located. Manchester City plays predictably in Manchester City. Sparta Praha, well you'd guess Prague, right. Pachuca, in....wow, you're getting the hang of this, Pachuca.

But there are plenty clubs, some perhaps less popular that don't offer these clues. For instance, Botafogo of the Brazilian top flight, or Boavista of the Portugal BWINLiga -- what cities do they play in? Or even if they do offer a clue, only an experienced geographer could make sense of it. I certainly couldn't point to Catania, Italy, or Azogues, Ecuador.

But there is some help. Footiemap.com, offers a nice interactive map to help you sort out football clubs and their geography in many countries (no Argentina unfortunately). Click on the club links to get to their home pages.
