tomlukey - netflix you substitute with popcorn time
the football games.. well it is not easy but it can be done. you can stream
them with vlc - you have to find the addresses and that's no easy task.
It's been a while since I used it to stream sports -
https://code.google.com/p/tv-maxe/
it's a very nice program by a romanian developer. You find the address and
you save it in tvmaxe and you can stream tv..
the problem is those addresses change often :(
http://www.tvonlinestreams.com/
there you can find streaming addresses
p.s - if the movies on popcorn are not enough for you you can stream whatever
you want with qbittorrent or any other client that supports sequential
downloading
