Non(ish) Superbowl and Soccer Ball.

Lots of stops and starts, some purely for advertising purposes in that big game of catch last night.
Made me think how FIFA must be looking at the revenue streams and thinking that a 2 minute break at 22 minutes of a half could bring in billions of advertising revenue. Billions are watching the biggest games.
We are starting to get drinks breaks... and with the next World Cup in the USA, will we start to see a break 'purely for the comfort of the players' becoming the norm in the game?
Imagine that clubs, Sky, TNT, the EPL, FPL, UEFA & Jim Foley must be thinking how to get even more revenue out of each game (and not just extra pork pie and pints of Carlsberg being drunk).

I'm going to predict that the World Cup in the USA will have something (we shall be told it is for the benefit of the players) that will stop the game.
"Today's drinks break is brought to you by Gatorade, refreshment and rehydration in every drop."

Think a game of 4 parts each 20 minutes is imminent

"children"
 
The Superbowl told us what we all knew about Yanks.

Taylor Swift was in the ground...tick

Another 40 million viewers.

Taylor's boyfriend Kelsie Halfwit was in the ground..... another 80 million.

Taylor's boyfriend attacked the coach......tick

It was the quintessential display of Americana.....lots of 20 something NFL players bouncing around to get noticed, when something went their way.


Was embarrassing.

Like celebrating a throw in at a PL game with razzmatazz and testosterone akin to winning a world War.

The Yanks are what they are......complete idiots.


Disgusting nation of people I'm afraid.

All posture, no balls.

At least Taylor and Kacie can get behind Old Joe.

Life isn't celebrity.......

But for the Yanks it's one giant circus.
