Have you ever moaned about a long journey back from an away game? Plymouth to Carlisle maybe? Brighton to Newcastle?
Well spare a thought for 10-time champions of Tahiti AS Venus, whose 20,000-mile round trip for a cup game on Saturday means they must now embark on a gruelling journey to get home.
And they lost 2-0.
The side from French Polynesia - a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean - have enjoyed domestic success recently and that meant they qualified for the French Cup, which features teams from a variety of France's overseas territories.

Worth a watch,
A letter to Pan Am, I booked 2 return tickets for me and my wife. If it's possible could I amend that to 1 return and 1 single?
Phone call to Pan Am, could I book two tickets to the moon please for me and my wife, Certainly Mr Giles what's your wifes name? I don't know I'm not married yet, Oh I can't make a booking without a name, well just Mrs Giles then.

It's an age thing I suppose, but the MetLife Building in Manhattan will always be the Pan Am Building to me. 
Didn't a helicopter nearly come off the roof a few years ago?It's an age thing I suppose, but the MetLife Building in Manhattan will always be the Pan Am Building to me.
Not suggesting F1's a doddle but I had to smile when I saw this. If that's as hard as life gets Lewis you're not doing too badly!

From memory it crashed on the roof and the rotor blades fell to the floor. I'm sure some were killed.
