Football; a pastime, a passion, or for many a release. It is usually argued that football is the biggest and most watched sport on Earth. Some people may stress otherwise and suggest cricket, think of the population of India alone for example and then add some. Or say a pub sport such as pool or darts, unlikely I'd say and in some eyes not 'real' sports but they do have large reservoirs of untapped amateurs.
In reality it would need a brave person to seriously debate that football isn't at the front of most categories in sport. The most watched, the most played and the most popular, it is difficult to see any other that competes. Football though, like anything popular, will have many detractors and so it should, otherwise the world would be a very boring place, a communist utopia perhaps (if such a thing could exist).
This week in Portugal the top three all looked to keep up their title chases but couldn’t help behaving like little children.
Contrary to what the headline writers may say, Liverpool’s 4-1 victory at Old Trafford was nothing more than their usual turgid fare. The scoreline flatters to deceive: in actual fact the Scousers were second best for most of the game.
