We've gotten into rugby, so we also watch both European leagues and international tournaments like the World Cup and Six Nations. It's hard to watch the games from New Zealand due to the time difference. Sometimes we watch the repetitions.


I find the streaming service a bit weird. There are a lot of random sports on it - NCAA lacrosse, padel, field hockey, cricket. I don't know who is interested in cricket in this part of the world. How many people watch those sports here? I guess field hockey makes the most sense because Argentina is very good.

And, of course, the most important is that Michigan won. It was late here, but we managed to stay awake and my husband could finally see them champions after the last few disappointments. I texted a bit with my dad during the game. My brother and sister weren't to interested, but they were really young when we lived there and didn't get to go to the games.
Good post. Hail to the victors, eh?

You mentioned Bundesliga in Europe and I have seen that. Like I say, I may not be the most knowledgeable about the teams and leagues but I think I have an inner-hooligan just waiting to make an appearance.

As far as cricket. I have watched the "highlights" on ESPN (Top 10 Plays or whatever). I just don't understand that sport. It looks like a cross between baseball and field hockey. I know it's big in India.
Thanks for this!
