Another founding sixteen member, the /sp/artans of /sp/ have definitely been one of the more entertaining teams in the Infinity Cup. After an unforgettable opening against {{team|gamergate}} in [[Summer 2015 Infinity Cup|Infinity Cup I]] that came down to penalties and ultimately went to /sp/, /sp/ has not let off the gas pedal (although their performance has waned). In their quarterfinals match against {{team|christian}}, which set a record for most goals in one match, /sp/ at one point lead by three goals off of a Wade Davis hat trick. A lackluster second half performance cost /sp/, however; /christian/ rallied to score seven goals while Davis was shut down and the remaining /sp/ front six put up just three, and /christian/ came away with a 10-8 win to eliminate /sp/. During the offseason, /sp/ also lost a friendly match against [[Winter 2015 Infinity Cup|Infinity Cup II]] team {{team|hebe}} 3-1.


While /sp/ rallied back to easily beat /gamergate/ 2-0 in its [[Winter 2015 Infinity Cup|Infinity Cup II]] opener, the team's reliance on Wade Davis to carry them to victory was quickly evident, and just as quickly came back to bite them. Although {{team|n}} gave up two goals to Wade, /sp/'s backfield was unable to contain /n/ strikers Donald Trump and SWEDEN YES, and the game ended up a draw. {{team|kind}}, on the other hand, managed to shut Davis down almost entirely, and cruised to an easy 5-1 victory, eliminating /sp/ in the group stages.
* {{team away|sp}} will play {{team away|wsg}} on the 8th of February, in the [[File:WC25_Design_J.png|25px]] [[2025 4chan Winter Cup]] Round of 16 at 17:40 UTC.


Though certainly not a bad team, /sp/'s troubling record of 2-1-3 and heavy reliance on a single player to score goals leaves something to be desired. With addressing, it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility that /sp/ could go ALL. THE. WAY., but until then, /sp/'s best hopes lie in a favorable group drawing.
The /sp/artans Football Club is a simulated professional football team founded in August 2011, representing /sp/, the 4chan board dedicated to sports. They won the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]] before the title was revoked due to the [[Dragongate]] scandal. They also won the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup]], making them, for a time, the first and only two-time [[Elite (competition level) | Elite]] competition champions. They also held the number 1 spot in the [[Rankings | cup rankings]] from January 2012 to May 2013, currently the longest such reign, and from March to May, 2017.


===Infinity Cup I (Summer 2015)===
The club's popularity among the proud posters of /sp/ has made them susceptible to negative press. Accusations of rigging lead to the Match Fixing Scandal in early January 2012. The team was implicated in the Dragongate scandal as well. Their almost-systematic shitposting on other boards during /sp/ Cup participation is often cited as one of the possible reasons for the global cup ban by 4chan moderation.

===Infinity Cup II (Winter 2015)===
/sp/'s main rivals are, without a doubt, /a/, who knocked them out of the cup twice on top of being dirty weeaboos, but they also have minor rivalries with /v/, /fit/, and potentially any board who knocks them out of the cup (/s4s/ and /vg/ we're looking at you) or have a fanbase as rambunctious as theirs.

Only the gods of PES know what disappointments 2025 holds for /sp/.

== Colors and Mascot ==
'''/sp/ is maroon, orange, black and white.'''
 
'''Maroon: R173 G17 B12'''<br>
'''Orange: R200 G85 B5'''
 
For the first 4chan World Cup, /sp/ wore an all white kit with a simplistic green logo. Before the 2012 Winter Cup the team wore blue but eventually settled on the current iconic maroon and orange home kit, based on real world Italian divegrass team AS Roma. For away matches, /sp/ wears solid black kit with orange details. To continue the theme that the club's number one goalkeeper is DA BEARS, the uniform for the goalkeeper is a near representation of the uniform of the handegg team, the Chicago Bears.
 
The mascot of the club is Paul the Goat (named after the legendary Paul the Octopus), who has gained worldwide fame for his alleged psychic powers. When presented with two boxes containing goat food decorated with the club crest of the two teams who are about to play in a game, Paul has successfully picked the winning team 100% of the time from 25 attempts.
 
Two logos have been used to represent /sp/ Football Club. While one is the official logo and the other pointless, both are alright to use when depicting the /sp/ Club.

| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| [[File:sp logo.png|150px|link=]]
| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px| The famous logo of /sp/ Fooball Club and currently the most widely used, it depicts Paul the Goat standing proud on an image of a Spartan soldier. The nickname of the club is the /sp/artans, which is the reason for the Spartan on the logo. The star under the Spartan is a representation of /sp/'s first cup victory in the 4chan summer cup. Football came home that night.
|-
| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| [[File:sp logo 2.png|150px|link=]]
| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| The lesser used logo. Paul the Goat is given orange colored horns and a shawl with the /sp/ name on it. While a lesser used logo, it is quite a classic among die-hard fans of the club.

== Supporters ==
 
/sp/ is known to have some of the most passionate fans in the game. Due to this passion, /sp/artans are often seen as whiners by other boards, especially in the wake of the [[4chan_Cup_Committee#2012_SC_Bracket_Scandal|2012 SC Bracket Scandal]]. Due to this, /sp/ was the winner of the Worst Fans Award in that cup. However, /sp/ does boast some of the most supportive fans in all of 4chan, participating in the most watched game of the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]]. After claiming victory in this cup, /sp/ was flooded with celebratory "MESSIMESSIMESSI" and "THANK YOU BASED TORRES" posts.
 
=== Chants ===

| '''[[/a/|The Derby of /sp/art/a/]]'''<br/>
The biggest derby in the game of virtual divegrass&ndash;El Classico. A battle between GOATs of /sp/orts and Men of /a/nime to see who are the greater champions. This derby's history runs all the way back to the [[2011 4chan Summer Cup]] semifinals&ndash;a moment /a/ refers to as Yamakan saving Anime and /sp/ remembers as BasedChoke. They did not meet again in an official match until the 2013 Spring Babby Cup friendlies, {{tt|which /sp/ won|implying friendlies count}}. They met twice more in Official Cup games for the [[2014 4chan Winter Cup]] round of 16 and [[2015 4chan Spring Babby Cup]] group stage, with /a/ winning both. The two teams who were destined to be together forever finally met again after 8 years in the [[2023 4chan Spring Babby Cup]], resulting in a thrilling (yes, actually) 0-0 draw that just barely brought /a/ to their first Elite in 5 years alongside /sp/. 2024 started as a cursed year for /sp/ as the /sp/artans were relegated to the Babbies, while the degenerate weebs stayed Elite.

|'''[[/asp/|The Not-Sports Derby]]'''<br/>
Whenever there was a WWE thread on /sp/, there was always at least one person who told WWE fans that pro wrestling is fake and that it belongs on /asp/. Eventually, /sp/ managed to get wrestling threads officially kicked off the board with the help of Hiroyuki Nishimura, who succeeded {{tt|m00t|I don't know who, either}} as owner of 4chan in 2015, stoking the rivalry ever hotter. In the 4chan Cup, these teams have completely different mentalities, with /sp/ angrily sacking managers if they don't win cups and /asp/ exercising more patience with their managers. The two teams finally met in an official Cup match during the [[2017 4chan Winter Cup]] quarterfinals, which /sp/ won 3-1. The rivalry was put to rest after /asp/ was split into /pw/ and /xs/. Rest in peace, /asp/.

|'''[[/v/|The e-Sports Derby]]'''<br/>
/sp/ and /v/ are intense rivals in a feud that is essentially the alphas vs. the weeaboo gaming nerds, and this rivalry was only made worse after /sp/ sent /v/ to the Loser's Bracket in 2011. /v/ is also jealous of /sp/'s endless creativity, epic maymays and their ability to handle the banter. Despite this, /v/ took control of this rivalry for years, defeating the GOATs in the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup]] round of 16 and twice in the [[2016 4chan Spring Babby Cup]]&ndash;in the group stage and quarterfinals. This streak was broken in the [[2017 4chan Winter Cup]] when /sp/ eliminated /v/ in the round of 16. /sp/ leveled the series in the [[2017 4chan Autumn Babby Cup]] with a 1-0 win over /v/ in the group stage and took the lead after beating them 2-1 in the group stage of [[2020 4chan Spring Babby Cup]]. The rivalry continued to be close as /v/ beat /sp/ 5-2 in the [[2023 4chan Winter Cup]], where /sp/ got relegated. /sp/ took their revenge in the [[2023 4chan Summer Cup]], winning 3-1 in a tournament that saw /v/ relegated.

The /sp/artans Football Club is a simulated professional football team founded in August 2011, representing /sp/, the 4chan board dedicated to sports. They won the 2012 4chan Summer Cup before the title was revoked due to the Dragongate scandal. They also won the 2013 4chan Winter Cup, making them, for a time, the first and only two-time Elite competition champions. They also held the number 1 spot in the cup rankings from January 2012 to May 2013, currently the longest such reign, and from March to May, 2017.

The club's popularity among the proud posters of /sp/ has made them susceptible to negative press. Accusations of rigging lead to the Match Fixing Scandal in early January 2012. The team was implicated in the Dragongate scandal as well. Their almost-systematic shitposting on other boards during /sp/ Cup participation is often cited as one of the possible reasons for the global cup ban by 4chan moderation.

/sp/'s main rivals are, without a doubt, /a/, who knocked them out of the cup twice on top of being dirty weeaboos, but they also have minor rivalries with /v/, /fit/, and potentially any board who knocks them out of the cup (/s4s/ and /vg/ we're looking at you) or have a fanbase as rambunctious as theirs.

History

For earlier history: /sp/ History

2025

Only the gods of PES know what disappointments 2025 holds for /sp/.

Tactics & Aesthetics

Colors and Mascot

/sp/ is maroon, orange, black and white.

Maroon: R173 G17 B12
Orange: R200 G85 B5

For the first 4chan World Cup, /sp/ wore an all white kit with a simplistic green logo. Before the 2012 Winter Cup the team wore blue but eventually settled on the current iconic maroon and orange home kit, based on real world Italian divegrass team AS Roma. For away matches, /sp/ wears solid black kit with orange details. To continue the theme that the club's number one goalkeeper is DA BEARS, the uniform for the goalkeeper is a near representation of the uniform of the handegg team, the Chicago Bears.

The mascot of the club is Paul the Goat (named after the legendary Paul the Octopus), who has gained worldwide fame for his alleged psychic powers. When presented with two boxes containing goat food decorated with the club crest of the two teams who are about to play in a game, Paul has successfully picked the winning team 100% of the time from 25 attempts.

Two logos have been used to represent /sp/ Football Club. While one is the official logo and the other pointless, both are alright to use when depicting the /sp/ Club.

Image Description
Sp logo.png The famous logo of /sp/ Fooball Club and currently the most widely used, it depicts Paul the Goat standing proud on an image of a Spartan soldier. The nickname of the club is the /sp/artans, which is the reason for the Spartan on the logo. The star under the Spartan is a representation of /sp/'s first cup victory in the 4chan summer cup. Football came home that night.
Sp logo 2.png The lesser used logo. Paul the Goat is given orange colored horns and a shawl with the /sp/ name on it. While a lesser used logo, it is quite a classic among die-hard fans of the club.

Supporters

/sp/ is known to have some of the most passionate fans in the game. Due to this passion, /sp/artans are often seen as whiners by other boards, especially in the wake of the 2012 SC Bracket Scandal. Due to this, /sp/ was the winner of the Worst Fans Award in that cup. However, /sp/ does boast some of the most supportive fans in all of 4chan, participating in the most watched game of the 2012 4chan Summer Cup. After claiming victory in this cup, /sp/ was flooded with celebratory "MESSIMESSIMESSI" and "THANK YOU BASED TORRES" posts.

Chants

  • Some History

You might have some history,

But we don’t give a crud,

Your team will always be a joke until they have a cup

(Shout the Opposing team’s name)!!!

Rivalries

A logo.png
The Derby of /sp/art/a/

The biggest derby in the game of virtual divegrass–El Classico. A battle between GOATs of /sp/orts and Men of /a/nime to see who are the greater champions. This derby's history runs all the way back to the 2011 4chan Summer Cup semifinals–a moment /a/ refers to as Yamakan saving Anime and /sp/ remembers as BasedChoke. They did not meet again in an official match until the 2013 Spring Babby Cup friendlies, which /sp/ won. They met twice more in Official Cup games for the 2014 4chan Winter Cup round of 16 and 2015 4chan Spring Babby Cup group stage, with /a/ winning both. The two teams who were destined to be together forever finally met again after 8 years in the 2023 4chan Spring Babby Cup, resulting in a thrilling (yes, actually) 0-0 draw that just barely brought /a/ to their first Elite in 5 years alongside /sp/. 2024 started as a cursed year for /sp/ as the /sp/artans were relegated to the Babbies, while the degenerate weebs stayed Elite.

1-1-3
Asp logo.png
The Not-Sports Derby

Whenever there was a WWE thread on /sp/, there was always at least one person who told WWE fans that pro wrestling is fake and that it belongs on /asp/. Eventually, /sp/ managed to get wrestling threads officially kicked off the board with the help of Hiroyuki Nishimura, who succeeded m00t as owner of 4chan in 2015, stoking the rivalry ever hotter. In the 4chan Cup, these teams have completely different mentalities, with /sp/ angrily sacking managers if they don't win cups and /asp/ exercising more patience with their managers. The two teams finally met in an official Cup match during the 2017 4chan Winter Cup quarterfinals, which /sp/ won 3-1. The rivalry was put to rest after /asp/ was split into /pw/ and /xs/. Rest in peace, /asp/.

The e-Sports Derby

/sp/ and /v/ are intense rivals in a feud that is essentially the alphas vs. the weeaboo gaming nerds, and this rivalry was only made worse after /sp/ sent /v/ to the Loser's Bracket in 2011. /v/ is also jealous of /sp/'s endless creativity, epic maymays and their ability to handle the banter. Despite this, /v/ took control of this rivalry for years, defeating the GOATs in the 2013 4chan Summer Cup round of 16 and twice in the 2016 4chan Spring Babby Cup–in the group stage and quarterfinals. This streak was broken in the 2017 4chan Winter Cup when /sp/ eliminated /v/ in the round of 16. /sp/ leveled the series in the 2017 4chan Autumn Babby Cup with a 1-0 win over /v/ in the group stage and took the lead after beating them 2-1 in the group stage of 2020 4chan Spring Babby Cup. The rivalry continued to be close as /v/ beat /sp/ 5-2 in the 2023 4chan Winter Cup, where /sp/ got relegated. /sp/ took their revenge in the 2023 4chan Summer Cup, winning 3-1 in a tournament that saw /v/ relegated.

Trivia

  • Of the 17 teams to win a 4chan Cup elite tournament, /sp/ is the only one to win every match on their way to the title.
    • Closest calls: /a/ won 2011 Summer 8-0-1 when it was a double-elimination tournament. Under the two-stage format, /wg/ (2013 Summer), /trv/ (2014 Winter), /tg/ (2015 Winter), /mlp/ (2015 Summer) and /pol/ (2020 Winter) all won with 6-1-0 records.
  • /sp/ became the first board to have a sticky thread for a 4chan Cup event during the 2012 Winter Cup, a feat that remained unique to the board until /s4s/ had their own sticky for the 2017 Summer Cup.
