A thing that I never understand is how little football we get in the UK compared to most countries in the world

Like, how has no UK broadcaster got Iraq Vs UAE or Nigeria Vs Gabon but all these countries do?

Dear me, Hungary’s result looking worse now after that.

I realise Armenia are a strange team and can have good nights, but what are Ireland doing here
