Ire of a football fan in Northern Ireland

From The Vim Views & Versions - Blogs of a MIghTy African Sun Mar 23 2014, 00:01:00

I don't know much about Northern Ireland. I do know that they have their own 'national' football team that's not really good and they've not been to the World Cup before. That said, why do they have their own national football team? Because the British invented soccer. It's true. As in, that's the reason. Anyway, Northern Ireland could have benefited from playing from a British soccer team cos I don't see them going to the World Cup anytime soon. It is the home of George Best and also where the great Jonny Evans who plays for +Manchester United hails from. I expected Northern Ireland to be crazy about football but it was not really meant to be.

Every country should have #Supersport. Including Northern Ireland. And then #ESPN because of the #NBA. #sportsfanspeaking.

-- Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) February 19, 2014I am a huge fan of sports, especially watching, and studying soccer aka football and basketball. +SuperSport is my kind of channel because it's heavy on football, which I'd take over +ESPN which shows many sports I could care less about. Super Sport is from South Africa too, it would be awesome to see it go truly global.
