@kungshamra71 as you see when  gets an olympic gold, football news are not important for our main sports newspaper 😉

 

maybe this is one of the reasons why not many people buy this newspaper these days and it will be published only twice a week though 😔

Oh man, $54 for the finals... I mean, that's not that expensive, a ticket of a Hungarian international football match costs the same, and I will pay it, but will 30.000 Hungarians pay that kind of money per evening? I doubt it, Hungarians don't care that much about athletics.

Wow, for Greece tickets are like 10-20 euros to watch the national team
