I don’t buy tickets to go watch players. I do so to watch teams. I
wouldn’t spend my hard earned money to watch Los Angeles because
for the last few years, they’ve played boring soccer (admittedly a
little less so this year because of their shambolic defending). I
don’t like how New York plays. As a neutral, I’d much rather spend
my money to watch teams that try to play good attacking soccer like
RSL or Seattle. I’m not going to pay to watch some celebrity
because individual players don’t influence the game as much as they
can in, say, basketball. There’s a reason Messi’s much more
effective for Barcelona than for Argentina, and it’s not because
he’s crap.
I don’t understand why you guys bothered to spend most of the last
podcast analyzing the US-Scotland match when one of the two hosts
kept referring to it as “not a proper game.” If it was meaningless
and nothing could be learned from it, why did you waste so much
time talking about it?
