Info is everywhere and just a few keystrokes you can find anything you want. Futbol isn't in the dark days like it was before where there was hardly any futbol or highlights from Europe. We live in a day where more American's are into the game and with the explosion of the internet and interest by the TV Companies like ESPN and Fox we aren't going back to the days where it was possible to watch multiple games in a row on delay and not be spoiled. If ESPN is in the game with the Premiership and has a 10am game you know they are going to show highlights and updates of scores around the league because that is how sport is covered here. As much as we as futbol fans don't want to be spoiled because we can't watch at a particular time we have to remember the world is going on and the game has been played or is in the process of being played and there is just not enough time in the day and ability to stay away from results. It's just the way it is and it is for the good of the game because it means that the media and people all around the world realize that game of futbol and leagues such as the Premiership along with the NFL and College Football are the only two sports where results matter on a week to week basis because of how small the regular season is compared to the other games and leagues throughout the world.

My friends who I interact with know that I DVR my footy games and to not talk to me about any result less than 24 hours after the result. :-) I guess this is one more reason not to get into Twitter, eh?

The next step after that is being able to watch games on your mobile phone. It's only a matter of time before that happens. With laptops and mobile phones -- coupled with wireless access, you can still be mobile.
