def find_countries_for_league( league )
    ## todo/fix: assert league is a League with country record/struct !!!!!

    countries = []
    countries << league.country   ### assume league.country is already db record/struct - why? why not?
    ## check for 2nd countries for known leagues
    ## (re)try with second country - quick hacks for known leagues
    ##  e.g. Swanse, cardiff  in premier league
    ##       san mariono in serie a (italy)
    ##       monaco  in ligue 1 (france)
    ##       etc.
    ##   add  andorra to spanish la liga (e.g. andorra fc???)

    case league.country.key
    when 'eng' then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('wal')
    when 'sco' then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('eng')
    when 'ie'  then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('nir')
    when 'fr'  then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('mc')
    when 'es'  then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('ad')
    when 'it'  then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('sm')
    when 'ch'  then countries << CatalogDb::Metal::Country._record('li')

    ## use single ("unwrapped") item for one country
    ##    otherwise use array
