Interesting quotes today from English Premier League chairman, Dave Richards. He essentially states that the world has forgotten where soccer began (England) some 150 years ago. (Click here for the story.)
“It started in Sheffield 150 years ago . . . (W)e started the game and wrote the rules and took it the world. The Chinese may say they own it but the British own it and we gave it to the rest of the world.”
What do you think, have FIFA and UEFA co-opted “the beautiful game” from England?
