When Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri scored the equalising and winning goals for Switzerland against Serbia at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, both players celebrated by performing the double-handed eagle gesture, landing them a hefty fine and causing a minor diplomatic crisis. Outside of the Balkans, however, few people paid any notice or even really understood what it meant. So ahead of Switzerland and Serbia meeting in another decisive group stage tie, this time at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, HITC Sevens takes a look at why that celebration in Russia was so controversial, the context behind it, and the build-up to this game.
Germany is the most successful country in European football, having won the FIFA World Cup four times and the UEFA European Championships twice, boasting five different Ballon d'Or winners, and European super clubs like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Yet, Germany's footballing prowess isn't remotely evenly distributed. Since reunification in 1990, no east German club has won the Bundesliga, and not a single team from the last DDR-Oberliga competes in the top flight of German football now. So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at why all of German's footballing powerhouses are based in the west, what has held the east back, and whether RB Leipzig and Union Berlin could change all of that.

From Sunderland's signing of Jack Rodwell on a reported £70,000 a week, as they tumbled from the Premier League down to League One, to the crazy fee and wages that Rangers paid for Tore André Flo, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the most disastrous transfers - from the perspective of the buying club - of all time.

From the last minute handball committed by Luis Suarez at the 2010 World Cup which made him very unpopular among Ghana fans to Declan Rice angering Republic of Ireland fans by switching his international allegiance over to England, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of footballers who are hated in a specific country.

The UEFA Champions League is the most prestigious cup competition in European football, with winners including the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. Since replacing the European Cup at the start of the 1990s, the Champions League has always had a group stage where each group contains four teams, but from 2024-25, that is all going to change, along with a raft of other reforms. So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at those reforms, what they might mean for the Champions League, the context in which they are being implemented, and why watered down European Super League style reforms are likely to continue.
From Gunnersaurus Rex at Arsenal to Moonchester and Moonbeam at Manchester City, HITC Sevens attempts to explain the reasoning behind every mascot in the Premier League.
