@JTansey90 I very much enjoyed some prime time World Cup. I do not wish i was watching at 5 am.
Incidentally, PAC 12 network doesnt exist anymore does it?
@TalkSoccer@fifa@LeaguesCup My personal feeling is that a team is better prepared for the WC if the have to qualify with high stakes games. For reference see the quiet group stage disappearing act US is about to pull off.
@TalkSoccer@fifa@LeaguesCup I think “massive” in all caps is a bit much. The third place game would still be a footnote the day before the final. But yes, an automatic bid would be a bit more to play for than a third place trophy.
@MLSist You might have a stronger opinion when you are watching a commercial before a corner kick. I know what will piss me off more than the commercials: the deafening in-stadium music over the PA during stoppages. The lack of the loud PA during halves is my favorite part of soccer
