Bus conductors(售票员) in Nigeria are typically Chelsea fans. In Goma, a city under the control of a rebel group that opposes the Congolese state, lots of bootleg(盗版的) Newcastle United shirts are on sale (the Geordies have a striker, Yoane Wissa, who plays for the national team). Tiny villages alongside Lake Victoria in Kenya may have no electricity and barely any roads, but they do tend to have a pub—a shack with solar panels on the roof, a fridge to cool beer and a small television with some way of receiving Premier League games. The FancyFree pub in Brooklyn overflows with Arsenal fans when there is a game.
尼日利亚的公交车售票员通常是切尔西球迷。在戈马，一个由反对刚果政府的反叛组织控制的城市，大量盗版纽卡斯尔联队球衣在售（吉米人有一位前锋约阿内·维萨，他效力于国家队）。肯尼亚维多利亚湖沿岸的小村庄可能没有电，几乎没有道路，但通常有一个酒吧——一座屋顶装有太阳能电池板、配有冷藏啤酒的冰箱和一台能接收英超比赛的小电视的棚屋。布鲁克林的FancyFree酒吧在有比赛时挤满了阿森纳球迷。

The English Premier League is a global cultural powerhouse(巨头). It is broadcast to 191 of the UN’s 193 member states. More than 700m people may tune in(收看) to watch a single game between top teams. The American Super Bowl attracts just a third of that.(美国超级碗的观众只有这个数字的三分之一。)
