Tonks55 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 If, like me, you are bored rigid then there is a free online course about the many aspects of the game of football that can be accessed at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/football It involves many topics over a course of 6 weeks, estimated as 3 hours a week, covering such areas as: Football: History, Myths and power The Global spectacle of football Great Football clubs, nations and matches that have changed the world The FIFA World cup and who are the champions of the world? Football for International Development, Drogba Diplomacy and peace Football finances, ownership and review The course has to be completed over 8 weeks, otherwise free access to to the course is lost. The course is an 'academics view' and, as such, wont be everyone's 'cup of tea'. However it will help fill the void in some of our lives!! ps I have no vested interest in this course - just thought some may enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No qualification for the 'free version', although if you subscribe to the course you get 'a bit of paper'. Personally, I'm going to do the course for the 'fun of it'. Mind you, Chelsea are looking for a manager so who knows where the qualification will get you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Any matchday thread on OTIB shows we are a vast pool of untapped knowledge and wisdom with a far greater understanding of the complexities of football than any professional perhaps it could be included as another module.
