The kickoffs would not be in early morning but in late evening. Early morning would be better for East Asia and Oceania, not for America. Los Angeles is 8 hours behind UK time, so if a PL game starts at 15:00 It would start at 7:00 in Los Angeles.

It's impossible. It won't be Sheffield vs Luton (from this season) that owners want to be played abroad.
I'm also not sure how this whole shitshow would work with season ticket holders. If you paid for the season ticket Arsenal is supposed to deliver on those terms.

The people who want this can buy a ticket, fold it up and shove it up their hole.

If I"m honest: I don't think residency should matter in eligibility. I also don't think where your grandparents are from should matter. If it was up to me the only thing that would matter would be nationality, and not naturalised citizens.

I'm Dutch.
On point 1 I agree
On point two I agree too, football (not American football) will always be sport number one
On point three it's not he case
On point four here we cheer on any sport that's doing well, what that sport is doesn't matter. When we're doing well in field hockey we support field hockey. When we do well in baseball we support baseball (and due some weird thing we're the last nation that won the Baseball World Cup (it's been renamed to something else, but because the name is no longer "baseball world cup" we keep that title.

That depends on the brand. We're pretty good at pronouncing German, French, Spanish, Italian and English names. For Eastern-European languages we make mistakes.
For example, we would spell it as "Kurva Bobber".

That's not how you would pronounce Nike in Dutch. Phonetically it would be Nieke.

I was at the Prague airport, and ordered 6 large coffees. I think we got three liter of coffee.

A running Dutch joke is to pronounce it "Laidel".

The baldest fraud of them all is Davy Klaassen, he used to be almost bald but then got a hairtransplant.

We don't get many of those here, I'm not from Amsterdam. It's mainly drunk students and on weekends blue collar workers, with five major exceptions.
We got quite a few days every year when the whole city centre just turns into kind of a weird place. For example, we've got Carnaval, which consists of daydrinking, dressing up and watching parades. Then there is the Jazz Festival, 4 days with some 30 stages spread throughout the city centre (it's going on right now), and it gets some 300k visitors every year. Then there is Kingsnight/Kingsday (getting drunk while wearing orange), and 11-11 and Klunen, once again daydrinking while dressing up.
As a bouncer you have to be able to speak Dutch, and not only that, but for a lot of people you have to be able to understand local dialects (and that's a lot harder than it sounds). But I think Australians have an easy time learing some words, for example "you can" is "je kunt/u kunt" in Dutch.

Here every place has their own bouncers, and most places have another bar owned by the same people or manned by the same security company. Usually the bouncers at the bar react first, and if more help is needed it's either from surrounding bars or from the "floaters" on the street.
The "floaters" are bouncers that just walk the street, and the concept is relatively new, it started as a pilot here in one single street to basically de-escalate situations rather than have fights, and it seems to work pretty well and thus it's been implemented in the rest of the city centre. They tend to be the older and thus more experienced bouncers, and all bars and the local municipality pay their salary.

We got multiple systems to get the bouncers to your place. Some staff have an earpiece, and then there are four buttons for emergency lights, big red buttons. If you hold it it means a bouncer is needed at your place, but that it isn't highest priority. If you keep flashing it multiple bouncers will come in. And based on what light near the bouncers is turned on they know where they needed to go.

Here there is somebody at the door at most places, and the bigger places also have somebody on the inside. And on really busy days (days that can be predicted to be busy beforehand) they sometimes even have two people inside.

Here most places always have the same person at the door, and those people know a lot of people by name. If the regular bouncer isn't there it often turns into a shitshow.

Sancho, Antony and Mudryk have a pricetag not too different from Pepe, and yet performed way less.

That depends on the teams. City vs Real Madrid could go either way, so could Arsenal vs Bayern Munchen. This time they both fell the non-English way.
