@FelipeCar this is just silly. there is literally no incentive to pep. he could coach anywhere. why take a group of mid tier players who have no chance to win? he doesn’t need money and it’s not a serious situation for anything
@starboysfc@JanuszMichallik that’s just ridiculous. for the same reasons he politely turned down italy he will turn this down. it would moronic to take it on for him and he isn’t dumb
@rjochoa this is not going to happen. it’s just an absurd story they are passing around. there is no reason in the world the best manager in the world would come coach a bunch of mid tier players in a comically hopeless bid to…what? win the world cup? nope. he doesn’t need money either.
@PaulSpacey why the hell would we do that? and what do you think pep would accomplish with a bunch of mid tier nuggets like the usmnt? makes no sense. hire someone who suits our limited player pool.
@BaseballATeam soccer is a different thing. it dwarfs all these sports, the point is that the way these sports are broadcast is fuckin terrible and super weird that people pretend they like it
@BaseballATeam soccer is popular everywhere bc it’s cheap, easy to play and truly global. american sports are the opposite. also they are terrible to watch on tv unless you’ve been forced to accept the absurd production structure from birth. it’s not that complicated
@GageEHC you missed the point of the chart. the history of these sports is about forcing people to watch more and more commercials and other trash at the expense of the sport. americans are so passively indoctrinated into this stuff that they don’t even care anymore. sport is irrelevant
@GageEHC do they enjoy watching hours of tv commercials? if so then yes that is very strange and sad. i like all sports so the part where they ruin it to sell me eczema medication does in fact suck
@GageEHC i’m not even defending soccer. it’s just insane how shitty watching these american sports is almost entirely bc it’s 90% commercials and 10% (very flawed) sport. i’ve always found this amazing but the average fan just sits there and eats shit bc that’s all they know
@fc_mossman i understand why people want to say it’s better but look around. nobody is really worth watching anymore. and the successful teams have grotesque financial monopolies that made the entire enterprise a farce. it’s in bad shape.
@fc_mossman circular thought really. yes it’s dull bc they play like robots bc coaches think playing like robots is the best strategy even if dull. the strategies are 90% running hard, strict positioning and robotically executing patterns even if the situation calls for something else.
