Here's some quotes from a Mirror article:

"It's just seeing football in a completely different way. They interviewed Cobi Jones on the side of the pitch when he was a substitute. It just doesn't happen over here.

"They're doing football like they do their other sports - and they do their other sports very well. They're just 100 per cent full-on energy and entertainment.

"They're drawing all over the screen all the time with tactics and stuff. The exciting thing is whether we will be adopting any of that."
