Match KF Shkendija vs Tottenham Hotspur 24th September

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I have seen another one: Sweden (been there long ago though, I think it was 1990)
Sweden tends to see us Norwegians as nationalists. Can't blame them, those cunts.

As an American, perhaps you can answer two questions that have puzzled me for a time.

1. Why do so many Americans feel they have to fly the flag outside their houses ? No other country I've ever been to seems to feel this need. Are they really that insecure or is it just jingoism ?

2. Why do they call it the "World Series" and the winners, "World Champions" when only N. America competes ?
You can be patriotic without being nationalistic.

why do you presume to know the “only” two reasons one would fly a flag by asking a question with only two possible answers?

One of which is silly. Flying a flag is not aggressive or extreme. I’d ask what’s wrong with the rest of the world if simply displaying your flag is considered “extreme”.
 
Refuse to pay £9.99 for a shit stream.

Hopefully we come out the blocks quick tonight, get a goal in the first 10 minutes and then control the game. None of this last minute winner after 2 red cards bollocks.

I don’t understand why our club doesn’t just provide a non-tv-covered game stream for like £1 per game. They would generate a pretty good amount of revenue just from those of us watching around the world.

I have the same query with the Premier League. I don't know why it hasn't developed it's own Netflix format for watching games. Make different memberships.

Say £7.99 a month and you can watch one teams games, highlights, previous matches.
£9.99 for every teams matches and so on. They would make a killing.

People said to me it would kill the attendances at games, but I don't think it would. Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd are on most weeks but still sell out.

Don't bother with Spaniel, he's somewhat of a US troll

any of those ideas would work as long as it’s not prohibitively expensive for people to adopt. It’s not shown anywhere anyway. So, it is lost potential revenue. I can see it affecting others revenues if the other tv channels are showing those games but if they are smart about picking and choosing what they show and have partnership deals with the tv stations, it would remove the needs to keep finding streams.
