But for the fast growing, and football hungry fans in this part of the world, the champions league final kicked off at 3:45am on a Thursday morning, and that - if the European game is to continue it&#8217;s assault on the Asian economies - is simply unacceptable.</p>\x0a\x0a<p>The game itself was a tense, typically English affair. Both sides created enough changes to have won in ordinary time, but instead, at 6am this morning, I was still perched on the edge of a bar stool in downtown Fukuoka waiting, hoping for Chelsea to slip up. But how many more people across football mad Japan were staying up into the morning to watch the game? Not many, I&#8217;d guess.</p>\x0a\x0a<p>The solution probably isn&#8217;t that complicated. Make it a day-time kick-off, on a weekend. Had yesterday&#8217;s showpiece game kicked off at 3pm in mother Russia, it would have been noon in England,  and 8pm in Japan. Great, suitable for everyone within the band of football nations from The UK to the most eastern ports of Asia.</p>\x0a\x0a<p>Better? Yes, of course it is. Now lets fix it before next years final, because if kids are going to grow up in rural Shizuoka trying to imitate their favourite European footballing luminaries, they need to be able to see the best of the games that Europe has to offer.</p>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">Another summer of upheaval</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    <p>I wonder what it must have been like to have a been a fan of a Coventry City side which was on the up. The meteoric rise through the ranks of English football culminated in the Sky Blues joining the First Division for the 1967-68 season, where we stayed for over thirty years. Those heady days are long gone, and now, as Coventry fans, were used to season after season of under-performance, and summer after summer of upheaval in terms of management and playing staff. Still, it could be worse, be could be Leicester City.</p>\x0a\x0a<p><object width="500" height="388"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cp6kB8MzLVY&amp;hl=en&amp;rel=0">\x0a<param name="wmode" value="transparent">\x0a<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cp6kB8MzLVY&amp;hl=en&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="500" height="388"></embed></object></p>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">The end is nigh, again</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    <p class="summary">&#8220;Saying goodbye to the football season is very much like giving birth to a ginger child: after nine months of optimism, hope and anguish, you’re left with a genuine feeling of disappointment.&#8221;</p>\x0a\x0a<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Soccerlens/~3/286993177/">soccerlens</a>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a</ol>');
