Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Sky sports have agreed a 3 year deal with the Chinese super league, first match is on Saturday. I imagine loads of people will have a massive interest in that What would the UK KO times be if they are televising them? This Saturday's game is a 12:35pm KO. Can't imagine they'd get any interest in that time slot once the English football season kicks off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be people who watch it. I keep an eye out for Toronto FC games when they are on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 My mate who lives there reckons it'll be part of their long game to hold the WC without people kicking off. Slowly building the brand of Chinese football in key markets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Aye Canada or nowhere for 2026. It will be either Canada or China, but China will throw more money at it where as Canada's bid will be with the future of the sport growing in mind and catering to demand I.E. no mega stadiums that will have no purpose after the World Cup. Money will exchange hands and China will build mega stadium that will host crowds of only hundreds after the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes but the teams/players have to be in on it as well otherwise it doesn't work does it? The amount of fixing that was going on a couple of years ago when I was doing a lot of betting was ridiculous. It was so blatant as well but the Canadian football authorities did absolutely sod all about it. It involved pretty much every team too as far as I remember.

joeyt Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Teams will be allowed to use a fourth substitute in extra-time in this season's FA Cup, from the quarter-final stage. Only from the quarter final stage, is that just to benefit the big teams as usual The teams with the best fitness coaches and best fitness technologies? Should just do it throughout the whole competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If the replay goes to extra time, teams should be allowed to use a 4th substitute in extra time, no matter what stage of the competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah but there's no replays in the quarters any more so I think that's why they have brought the rule in. Not disputing that it favours big teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Just doesn't make that much sense, you're more likely going to need a 4th substitute after playing 180 minutes (initial game and then the replay) because everyone will be more knackered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were responsible for the running of the competition whilst blatant match-fixing was going on and did nothing about it, despite being made aware of various pieces of evidence by different authorities. They may well have withdrawn their support a couple of years ago, but they still didn't do anything about it. To say the sport is taking off rather well over there is a bit over the top I think.

They may well have withdrawn their support a couple of years ago, but they still didn't do anything about it. To say the sport is taking off rather well over there is a bit over the top I think. The sport is growing over there. More and more people are taking part in the sport and it's not just kids and women. On pretty much every park there is a set of goal posts, Canadian football posts now double up as goal posts. There are posters about advertising 5 a side leagues to a similar level seem over here. Now every city has at least 1 dedicated Soccer shop, the bars all show matches from various leagues. I saw this myself only 6 weeks ago, contrast that to 2003 when I went and Soccer goal posts etc were hard to come across. Aye ok more could have been done a few years ago about the match fixing, but theirs a good article on it about how it's hard to clear up with legal loopholes etc and this is problem with organised crime as whole. In the end the CSA decided to take the drastic action and stop supporting the CSL and now Canada is left with no official league. Only the Canadian Championship Cup is left as a cup competition over there which only Canadian MLS and NSL teams can compete in. So yeah it's had it's fair share of problems but it is doing what it can to stop them and football is becoming an increasingly participated sport. Out of the Canada, China, Mexico, and Columbia who are all expected to bid for hosting the next World Cup which one do you think is less corrupt? Which one do you think will be safest for fans to attend? Which one will leave the best footballing legacy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
