Isn't it interesting that the most marketable football event, the EPL, is heavily covered in the media, but England only won the World Cup once? Conversely, we look at the NBA in US, the other sports franchise cable sports channels cover widely. The US team comes out on top in the Olympics and it's justified that people love to watch the best play. But is it the same for football?
Both the World Cup and the Olympics are held every 4 years. But that's about where the similarity stops. Pardon the writer for he knows close to nothing about tennis; swimming; bowling; archery and golf.
People watch to love the best play. Evidently the best aren't in England but why are there so many fans of the English Premier League?
Useless fact of the day: previous World Cup champions. 2002: Brazil. 1998: France. What will it be, France or Italy in 2006? I think i'll be watching it after a film i'm watching to prepare for the Film and History module.
