With a noticeable downturn in matches available for consumption through our TV sets, we now need to turn to Netflix to get our footy fix. Thankfully, Netflix is an absolute monster when it comes to providing us with a bit of everything, and the beautiful game is no exception.
Let’s be brutally honest here, we’re all extremely bummed right now. The European leagues are in disarray, MLS has been suspended and everyone is a little on edge because of the coronavirus.

When we told you about Netflix’s newest drama The English Game earlier this month, we still didn’t have our hands on the trailer.

Major League Soccer. *ducks*
Is it safe to come out?
As Major League Soccer enters its 25th season, it’s hard to remember a time when it didn’t exist. Many of the league’s fans have never known a time when the U.S. did not have a professional soccer league.
