@globeandmail The problem we have is “pay to play”. It’s been done with hockey for decades but that
Model narrows the talent pool in soccer. Beyond that when you consider where we were ranked 10 yrs ago and where we rank now only reinforces how full of crap this point of view really is.
@KnuckleBig@jimmy_dore So what other major league sports other than Bball and hockey are “faster”. Problem is the typical American fan can somehow watch a 3 hour baseball game but can’t watch a 90 minute soccer match. Why? Because they don’t understand soccer but they’ll pontificate about the rules…
@_common_w2 Do you think if the Portuguese player had intent to head that ball he would have done backwards towards his keeper in that chaotic situation? You’re an idiot.
