@CraigTrudgill@FootballRemind You can watch these videos going all the way back to the early 70s and he’s making mistakes in every game. All I remember as a kid is being told he was the best keeper in the world 🧤⚽️🧤
@FightLike36 English PL teams isn’t their own grounds, which are built in the communities they’ve represented for 100-150 years. US franchise stadia are leverage to strong arm tax breaks from local authorities. They’ll be forgotten the moment they are pulled down. It’s hardly the Azteca.
@MardyMariner98@honorablesaint The next gen air-con greenhouse type ones are certainly impressive but the vast majority are just open air megaliths with shed loads of seating. Not much thought to aesthetics or the actual views. Just a vehicle for selling hot dogs and training beer.
@honorablesaint Your stadia are corporate tax breaks that get crushed a rebuilt every 20 years chasing more dollars. Franchise sports fans will never understand the bond between cities and towns and their clubs going back 150 years. Those clubs own their own grounds not rent them.
@fcbtray Apart from West Ham, that’s another story. All of those stadiums are owned by the clubs who play in them. US stadia are built for tax breaks by corporate entities. It doesn’t matter, the franchise that plays in them could move the team to a bigger ‘market’ if they wanted.
