Also football is an outdoor sport (apart from 5 a side )
That makes a big difference in atmosphere etc.
You should be trying to attract fellow indoor sports enthusiasts like Table Tennis, Tennis, Badminton and Boxing fans

Basketball is absolutely a contact sport and the idea that it isn't is a big misconception that needs addressing. It is a non-collision sport, yes, but that's very different. Well that's a distinction that needs clearing up I assumed that you couldn't touch your opponent , only the ball. I'm curiou...

I have watched football for the best part of fifty years. It has changed a lot over the past twenty years making it almost a non contact sport. Which is why I'm not so keen on basketball as it is non contact. I liked the Harlem Globetrotters though and will watch any needle matches at the Olympics. ...

Felt sad for Japan from a non-footy lover . Their 2 goals were great and thought they were going to cause an upset, but when the Belgium manager made changes it all started to go in Belgium's favour. Refreshing as it is to see Japan going for it in the 93rd minute, they really should have taken a l...

This is the most open tournament in years. I have probably been spinning this line for 20 years or more but I can't see a clear favourite. On paper I would say France have the best squad.

A Very English Scandal. It was good , though maybe they could have condensed it into a 2 hour film. What would be the point of that? When TV's this good you want more of it, not less.
