Where's Bodø?

 

If you don't know where 

Bodø is, I don't blame you. I wasn't sure either. I didn't even know what country it was in (Norway). Find it by clicking here. It's pretty far north. It's well north of Bergen. It's north of Trondheim. Hell, it's north of Iceland.

What brought the city and it's football team to my attention was that back in January in a Champions League match vs. vaunted Manchester City, on a sub-freezing night, the team, Bodø/Glimt, defeated MC by a score of 3-1.

Hard to believe, right?

Here's a short description of the surprising match.

Man City stunned by Bodø/Glimt as Rodri sees red

" The second-half sending-off of Rodri completed a miserable evening for big-spending City in Bodø, a fishing town with a population of around 55,000 and located north of the Arctic Circle -- more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north of Oslo. "

Despite having one of the most dominant players in the world, who happens to be Norwegian, Erling Haaland (shown below in green), they couldn't beat the team wearing bright yellow. Maybe the bright yellow uniforms hurt their eyes.
