Hi boys, Just a quick nudge in the direction of a game that's currently being televised. Today is the start of the Taiwanese Premier League. A few of my mates play and coach the team in blue, called the Royal Blues. The second half has just started. 0-0. They finished 6th in a league of 10 teams last season. They are playing the team that finished 3rd last season. As you can see by the empty stands, football isn't really appreciated so much here. The league has just received a big financial boost, so there is prize money for top scorer, winners of the league, runners up. etc. This is the top league in Taiwan! Have a look if you want! Football is football!  SWS mycujoo.tv/ch/280?id=3449 |

Seems strange seeing a ground with no spectators  |

Yeah, it's a shame. Football is dominated by basketball and baseball at the moment.
We're working on that though, educating the next generation. It is growing but it's slow progress!
PS I play against the lad that scored. Weird seeing my mates and the lads I play with and against playing on TV. I was asked to play in this team but I coach at weekends.

Good game that.
Questionable extra time allowed by the ref in my opinion. Only had 1 goal at 90 mins but the equaliser was at about 94 mins.

My boys will be disappointed with that. 1-1 a fair reflection in the end though I think.
I'll post other links for other games as and when!
Cheers!
