“Even before 2007, this half of a small island was the richest football country on earth. In 2005-2006 the Premiership's total revenue was about £1.4bn, 40 per cent more than its nearest rival, Italy's Serie A. That was before take-off. Now foreign television channels are sending so much cash that the Premiership is expected to take in nearly £1.8bn this season. Even the team that finishes bottom of the table (Wigan might be a good bet) will get £26.8m from TV. That's more than all of Argentine or Belgian football put together.” CountryMightEarthTogetherHalfTeamTelevisionFootballTvsSeasonsTablesBottomExpectedSoccerAnalysisIslandsCashCentsRevenueRivalsBelgiansWigan Author:Simon Kuper
“The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick.

They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked.” YearsGamesTeamTelevisionFootballSevenSpendingNflGrandmotherSundayAfternoonUnclesMy GrandmotherSeven YearsHookedSpending TimeSunday AfternoonsRedskins Author:Michael Vick
