Love it or hate it - a long way since Stanley Matthews!

EPL is watched live - in every country on earth - as are other leagues.


Massive international club competition in the USA, shortly (live here) - and World Cup 2026.

Construction lives......

I don't give a toss about sport, but it proves that handing out brown envelopes does go a long way. Numerous nations have built a lot of stadiums already built. If people miss games due to time zones, it's life.

How can people absorb and waste so many hours watching rich people kicking balls towards oversized fishing nets?

I can't walk in the local high street and see a SKY kiosk without being stopped if I want SKY TV. Yuck!

Telling them you don't like sports always works.

And there was I thinking 'Kick Racism out of Football' was a real thing. Seems it's a very selective cause. Monkey chants -no-..exploitation and slavery..okay then.

Money and corruption, Cat.

I have looked at football grounds in Pakistan that are suitable for the World Cup, they are already built.

One of the great advantages of the internet is how easy it is to access sports around the world.
