One League across a Military Divide: Transnistria

[Unnamed Trialist]

I really do not know how I got here, but was looking at the perpetual Moldavian rep in European football, Sheriff Tirspol, and read it was based in a region that has declared independence, Transnistria. I half recalled that from decades ago.

Here is a great article on the subject, with football bridging both sides of a military front. Some good pics of fan culture as well.
