Today's Football 2016 / 2017 Season

What stood out with the Chinese game was how much more enjoyable a watch football is without a monotone boring idiot telling you what you've just seen with your own eyes. No doubt someone like Ian Dowie will suddenly become an expert on Chinese football to earn a payday but I'll enjoy watching it until then.

I liked the quick pace of the game and how attacking it was in general

Again, it was only the first time I'd seen a Chinese game so I don't know if that's standard or if it was just this particular game

Yes so you will be hearing loads about this league now like it's one of the most important leagues when in reality it's akin to the Egyptian league, in fact they have bigger clubs in Zamalek and Al Ahly. Not that I want them to put the Egyptian league on like.

Yeah, I'd prefer if they'd got the J-League or maybe the Mexican League, but China is aggressively trying to strengthen its domestic football, so I can understand why Sky want in on the ground floor

Actually, Liga MX would be good actually. Didn't Sky used to show the J-League or was that Eurosport? I distinctly remember watching it as a kid.

I've never seen the Mexican League, but I imagine a football mad country like Mexico would at least have some exciteable crowds if nothing else, which would translate well to TV

I seem to recall there being a J-League highlights show a while back

You'd think that would be the best quality League in Asia, based on Japan's prosperity and the fact the game is getting more popular over there. I might be wrong though

From my limited knowledge of the Asian Champions League, I think Saudi, China, Japan and Australia are the equivalent of the big four. Qatar is coming up with all the money. Evergrande (?) in China are the continents best team I think, they've got a really big budget and excellent set up and are winning the CSL by 10 pts at the moment.

It's well behind Europe and South America but I think it's well ahead of North America and Africa in the scales.

Wouldn't a World Champions League be absolutely boss though. Regular Real Madrid vs River Plate games, Everton vs Al-Ahly and so on.
