TBH I don't own a TV, so am spared the media overkill that usually surrounds these events when we revert to the primary school mentality of chasing a bit of leather (as was) or running round in circles and jumping up and down.
That said, I don't mind watching a good game of football, and can appreciate the skills involved, but I won't live or die by the results.
Bottom line is it is sadly no longer solely twenty two men kicking a ball around, the politics off the field are taking over every time one of these buffoons gets stuck in front of a microphone.
Money HAS spoiled the 'game', IMHO....
