Ten hours of football on English “Boxing Day”

Ten hours of football on English “Boxing Day”

From 0 to 100 – England’s professional football is back on track after the World Cup break. From Tuesday to Thursday, the eight League Cup round of 16 duels were whipped through, Manchester City won the hit against Liverpool 3: 2, Erling Haaland, who had missed the World Cup in Qatar with Norway, opened the series of goals.

On December 26, the Premier League will also start playing with the traditional “Boxing Day”. Not including Cristiano Ronaldo, from whom Manchester United parted ways in an interview in November after his sensational sweeping blow. It was a departure without great emotions, the “Red Devils” devoted just 81 words to the 37-year-old national player in their stadium magazine published in the 2-0 win over Burnley in the League Cup. “The Portuguese superstar scored 145 goals in two spells in 436 appearances and helped us win three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup,” it said.

Incidentally, “Boxing Day” has nothing to do with boxing. Boxing is the English word for wrapping up. The term Boxing Day originated in the 19th century during the reign of Queen Victoria. At that time it was common for the wealthy to put together Christmas packages to give to poorer people and employees. Servants had December 26th off and on that day received their Christmas package from their masters, which they then took home to their families.

Since 1966 they have been playing football professionally on the “Island” on Stefani Day – not too tight. Seven games, including the London derby between leaders Arsenal and West Ham, are scheduled from 1:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sky broadcasts live for ten hours. (Alex)
