Up early as usual and watching a report on US Major League soccer. It's twenty years old this year and appears to have finally established football in the US.
As pointed out during the report, the Millenials have grown up with MLS and that has helped establish the sport.
Many Thais are nuts about football -but being nuts about watching on TV or actively supporting a team is another thing. Participation too - does every school have a football team? Village leagues? Or is that wishful thinking?

I went to a TPL game earlier this year Army United v Bangkok Glass. It was fantastic. Crowd were really enthusiastic-bit of a night market atmosphere out the front. Definitely going back. Fyi-the crowd was 99% Thais, a few male tourists and me.

My condo balcony overlooks the local uni footy pitch so I often watch a game in the mornings.
Standard is usually pretty good.

Out at the wife's village the whole area plays a comp. Now depending on the name of your village depends on what colour your team wears. Example, ours is pink because it's in the SiChompu district.
