UK calcio?!
Looks like a home made show probably directed to some amateur website on the net. The speaker, definitly a southern guy from his accent, talks about the start of the new league and appears to be very well informed about the latest news (he's not reading). He introduced the special saying that his program covers all soccer related facts beyond the channel, not just football in the UK. Nice thing.
Nice to see someone who thinks that Ireland is a part of the UK, instead of the usual football supporters who claim large swathes of the UK are somehow Irish!Quote:
