Blurredorunfocused Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Cheers Gainzo. Not a pop at the US but more one at the lax attitude of those over the pond. I can only conclude that someone at the NFL after the numbers were done figured they could fleece the brits and wembley stadium out of a few quid more than it cost to force 2 teams over here. If they really wanted to increse awareness of the game and get merchandise purchased how about when the next TV deal comes around, they don`t sell out to the highest bidder(SKY) and allow it to be shown to a wider audience? Or maybe scrap that stupid gamepass ripoff and allow people to listen to their favourite teams for free?? just a thought like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who showed up booed every time there was a stoppage in play (for good reason). You and I understand the game and appreciate it. That makes us minnows when it comes to people not from America who like the NFL. Sky? Murdoch can perform impossible sexual acts on himself for all I care! BTW: The AFL (Australian Football League) streams the radio feeds for free on their website. You have to pay $50 a year to get video highlights 2 days later.

jetophile Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Soccer will never catch on and be as important a sport here, no matter what American lovers of the game try to tell us all. Americans by and large just don't care about it - or even like it. That's no cut on the sport of soccer or on the athleticism and skill involved, it's just how it is. The interest just isn't there.

Maybe if the MLS still ended tie games in penalty shots... I meant to ask if they still have those crazy shootouts to break tied games! What Mr Beckham would like to do is sell lots of shirts with his name on the back and persuade guys to buy his brand of aftershave to help them get laid. If you watch Soccer, the terrorists win. I`m tired of them winning, when is it Englands time to start winning?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
