Otro título, en este caso se trata de la retransmisión de todas las ligas europeas de fútbol en un canal de televisión holandés. Se me había ocurrido "al tanto" pero no estoy segura de que se entienda. ¿Otras sugerencias? Gracias...

en juego /tú juegas


Explanation:
Sabemos que "you're on the ball" quiere decir "te toca a tí" o "es tu turno" o "ahora juegas tú" etc. Como título para un programa de fútbol podría quedar bien "en juego" o "tú juegas"
