Hey, most of my family members are really into it. It's a pretty hot product, sells more here than soccer does.

I can't get into it though.

I'll admit, I'm judging with out knowing. I have never watched even 3 seconds of it.

I get to hear the scores and such on BBC radio. The matches can go on fo-ev-ah.

IIRC, they are limited to something like 5 days for international matches, 6 hours a day. Rules are different for different leagues, but most are of the 3-5 day variety, with some only being 8 hour matches. BBC did a little explanation of it one night, I think during the night of the Super Bowl. Actually, I know it was the night of the Super Bowl because they were commenting on the number of people who saw the game live at Cowboys Stadium as compared to how many people watched the match between India and Pakistan, in stadium.

Don't bother, it's not worth it :laugh2:

It's just that it's immensely popular where I am because of immigrant populations here who grew up with the game (basically all British commonwealth people-- Brits, Aussies, Indians, South Africans, etc.). I'm sure Direct TV makes healthy profits on it.
