After beating Chelsea Football club 3-0 in one of last Sunday football results, United played one of their matches they have on hand and finally recorded the win after Wayne Rooney scored in a tap in from a Cristiano Ronaldo assist at the first minute. Wigan tried to look for the tying goal throughout the match but failed to breakdown the United defense which surprisingly, held its own despite the absence of central defender Rio Ferdinand who continues to suffer from a back injury, defender Wes Brown who still has two weeks to go before he gets back to the side after ankle surgery and left back Patrice Evra, who suffered a foot injury right after the match against Chelsea and has been ruled out of future United games for three weeks.

And that’s where the problem lies. Not in the agonizing over the game England could so easily have won, but in England’s reliance on all varieties of imports.

To prove this point all we need to do is turn back the clocks to the 1960s and investigate the state of English club football.

As of this writing, we even have the ex-Thai Prime Minister wanting a slice of the action by taking over the reins of Manchester City. Is the Premiership gradually becoming an expensive playground for the super-rich? I fear the answer is yes. And how true can this get, going by the latest annual review of soccer by one of the world s top-four auditors Deloitte & Touche. The Deloitte Annual Review of Football Finance, released on 31 May 2007, revealed that the following startling financial facts: 1) The combined wages of the English Premier League is expected to surpass the 1billion mark for the first time ever since the competition was formally inaugurated in 1992 1993. The wages of the twenty teams rose to 854 million for season 2005 2006 compared to merely 168 million in 2005. Now isn t it wonderful to be a soccer player instead of having a desk-bound job? 2) Wait, the rich pickings gets better for we can expect the first 200,000 a-week player in the EPL to emerge before …

Its name was changed yet again to its current name a year after that. The league started with a mere 11 members but has evolved to 32 teams divided into 2 conferences with 16 teams each. This in turn has resulted in a flood of NFL merchandise available such as mini NFL helmets. The long history of the league has thus resulted in some amusing and interesting NFL trivia. NFL popularity American Football has been the most popular sport in the US since 1965. The NFL has the largest per-game attendance of any domestic professional sports league in the world, pulling over 67,000 spectators per game for every one of its two most recently completed seasons, 2006 and 2007.
