In Brazil, there’s a phrase, “Onde dorme a coruja,” which translates to “where the owl sleeps,” meaning the top corner of the goalposts. So, if you “put it where the owl sleeps,” you’ve absolutely bashed a shot into the top corner of the net.

Here at Sleeping Owl Sports, we’re aiming to approach the most important least important thing (sports) with rational analysis while never losing sight of what makes watching and following sports so wonderful - the emotions they conjure in those who witness them. From heaven-high jubilation of a long waited for victory, to the depth of despair we feel after a crushing defeat, to the simple joy of just knowing an odd phrase about an owl - without emotional weight, sports would just be some people running around after a ball. And we know in our bones that it’s so much more than that.

To start, the site will be mainly focused on Premier League Football, but all sports are welcome. And, in time, guests authors will contribute their own unique perspectives.
