888Poker has entered the competitive world of eSports after partnering with FlowEsports in a deal that will see the team expose their Twitch audience to online poker.

Technology is advancing at such a rate Elon Musk believes that it’s highly likely we exist in a Matrix-like computer simulation, and the philosopher Nick Bostrom hypothesises that Artificial Intelligence could one day turn us all into paperclips.

And when I read all of this alarm over the future of our race I don’t worry about the paperclip transformation, or living in a world overrun by androids – all I think about is the future of football.

If all that technological stuff kicks off, and the math suggests it’s inevitable, then the world of sport will look very different as it does today.
