can you help me find a satirical soccer team name/score thing?

I don't know where I saw this, but it was this year, probably during the World Cup. Maybe an imgur link from Reddit, maybe a tweet? It was a list of soccer team names and scores. They were all fake names, [lovingly?] poking fun at mostly English Premier League team names, I think. Each locality and team name was more ridiculous than the last, and every score was 0-0. I don't even think it said soccer or football, but something goofy like "sportsball rankings" or similar. That's it. Can you please help me find it?

Response by poster: Thanks, blob. From the buzzfeed link, "kickyball" seems closer than sportsball to what I actually saw.

The team names - the only thing I can remember is that some of the place names were similar to real place names but taken to a ridiculous extreme.

So like, "Hamchestershireton" & then a crazy team name. Man, I thought for sure someone would remember this right away. Bummer.

Have you tried USAsoccerguy on Twitter? It's the sort of thing he might do or link to, and even if it's not him, he is very funny.

Not what you're looking for, but very much a similar vein - from Alas Smith and Jones, Football Results.

This reminds me of the Channel Nine soccer scores on the old British comedy "The Fast Show." The sports segment starts at about 1:35 here.

Response by poster: quinndexter & seasparrow, it's definitely the same joke format as those. I didn't find it in USAsoccerguy's feed. Thanks, all.
