May, oh May! What have you given us so far? Where's the excitement of who's going to win what on the final day of the season? The English Premier League is all pretty much wrapped up. Chelsea are champions and three teams are relegated already. Sure there's the Arsenal race for fourth and a place in the Champions League. But it's quite like the prospect of a Sergio Aguero 93rd minute winner to win the league.
In Italy, Juventus probably couldn't care less that they lost against Roma yesterday because they know they are going to go out and win the league in their next match. In Spain it looks like it's close with Barcelona and Real Madrid level on points but once Real win their game in hand against Celta Vigo on Wednesday they will only need a draw in their last match next weekend.
May will be over and we'll have to hope June gives us some more excitement. The Champions League final on the 3rd had better be good. But if it's not and you are really fed up with politics, and need football happiness, you can look forward to the big tournament starting on June 17th featuring the national teams of Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Portugal, Germany, Chile, Cameroon and Australia. It's the Confederations Cup, the tournament Fifa want us to care about. I admit if it's on TV I'll watch it. But if it's not I won't be searching online for a live stream of Russia against New Zealand.
And if the Confederations Cup doesn't do it then fret not. Pre-qualifying for the Champions League will start at the beginning of July. And off we go again. Season 2017/18, World Cup season.
