If you are the kinds who judges a book by its cover, well, honestly I extend my regards. Commerce is not just about tangible good and services alone; its definition is fast expanding as is the versatility of new businesses that pop up daily.
Talking of the English Premier League, as the name suggests, it is the biggest buzz on the European sport scene every year. Football aficionados, from and outside Europe ardently follow the rise and fall of fortunes of some 20-odd clubs that fight it out for the top spot. Well that's just not the fun part yet, the pre-season kickstart phase is even more exciting with scoops on intra-club transfers, auction bids, player-coach squabbles and much more. And as the season gets going, it's a battleground between fans split by team loyalties and keeping tabs on the ever changing leader board.
The Premier League is a prime example of franchise business ownership. It's not simply play for the game's sake. There are fortunes at stake, players are investments and clubs function like business organizations that involve contracts, turnovers, stakeholders meet and much more. That's a side that most of us are not much interested in.
As a fan who worships the ball-zooters-onfield, the smartphones are the saviors to keep up with every update that happens during and post the matches.
Here is a list of some sporty football tracking apps that you got to have. Let's check them out!
