Football teams do not escape the financial crisis


The worldwide financial crisis controls the news already for 3 straight weeks now, and more and more groups are being confronted with the consequences of this crisis. Some football teams, like West Ham United, even lost their biggest sponsor and are now heading towards bankruptcy. In Liverpool too, there can be spotted a little crisis, because the constructions for the new stadium have been put on “hold”, because their American investors have liquidity problems. Like we feel and see the financial crisis escapes nobody, but let us hope that the sporting activities do not have to pay for the errors the financial world has made.

The worldwide financial crisis controls [monopolizes] the news already for 3 straight weeks now, and more and more groups are being confronted with the consequences of this crisis. Some football teams, like West Ham United, even lost their biggest sponsor and are now heading towards bankruptcy. In Liverpool too, there can be spotted a little crisis [Dutch; better: a little crisis can e spotted], because the constructions [construction] for the new stadium have been put on “hold”, because their American investors have liquidity problems. Like [as] we feel and see [add a comma] the financial crisis escapes nobody, but let us hope that the sporting activities do not have to pay for the errors the financial world has made.

Nice concluding sentence. Mind the influence of Dutch
