When did it started and how fast is it growing? EPL came to cable tv a few years ago. The market has always been here, it was just incredibly hard to watch before NBC picked it up. The World Cup hype was marketed pretty hard aswell. Additionally there are large swathes of hispanic communities and white folk who trace genealogy to major european sporting powers that seem to have an affinity for it there aswell. Its still nowhere close to as big as traditionally american sports. The other good thing is MSL runs on the calender somewhat different to when most other sports are peaking in terms of playoff activity so that has helped garner interest and hype aswell. These are just a couple of high level reasons though. Theres alot more too it. | ||

I think they can ya know. Im going for a 2-0 win. 2-0? You do know that Sevilla don't have to play. They can just sit back and let Leiceister come. More like 2-2 | ||

Nasri seriously tilting here. While his sending off is deserved, I'm not sure if I should call out Vardy for acting or praise him for acting just a little bit. | ||

CL win 80/1 (likely doesn't include this result) Relegation 7.5/1 Last season title 3000/1 iirc | ||

He was kicked out of the French team because he was an idiot, nothing too surprising. This guy could have been much more than he has been, he was very talented. | ||

Well done Leicester To be honest I never expected Sevilla to do well but i wouldn't have thought they would lose against Leicester in a slump. Has there been any team that won the Champion league only to end up relegating into the lower division? | ||
