the reason why soccer’s not a thing in america is because its entertainment payoff distribution has a mode near zero.
you can sit through 90 min & the modal outcome is nothing fucking happens. american sports solved this with guaranteed event frequency… e.g. baseball gives you a discrete resolution every ~30 sec, & american football every play. the floor is high even when the ceiling is low.
while soccer is a lottery ticket.. you occasionally get mexico/england, otherwise you get the snoozefest that was portugal vs spain.
ADIOS, MEXICO CITY 😢❤️🇲🇽⚽️
To my new followers and those of you who I have been lucky enough to meet…
What can I say? I leave in the morning. 😳
But look at me. I am shattered! You have worn me out.☺️
I arrived alone on Saturday, but leave feeling connected to all of
you. Tens of thousands of you!
The friendship, camaraderie, positivity, kindness and passion for football will forever connect us.
Thank you for welcoming me to your city and country. I am now a walking ambassador for Mexico and Mexicans - you watch my feed!!
Thank you being so magnanimous in defeat. I am in awe of the hundreds of messages of support for England I received after last night’s epic game.
And finally, thank you for not changing. It’s been 12 years since I was last in Mexico City and sometimes people within cities change.
But you haven’t.
Smiles on the streets when seeing I was English, wanting to help if I looked lost and a feeling of optimism and unity that’s rare.
Please don’t change.
You are amazing.
And my Mexico shirt will be a reminder of this epic 60 hour trip!
Thanks for having me…I can’t wait to be back…❤️🇲🇽
Cheers, Jon x
Mexico debe buscar ser la sede del Mundial en 2038, que por rotación de FIFA, le vuelve a tocar a Concacaf.
Son 12 años para preparar al país en todo sentido, pero si algo ha quedado claro, es que las 3 sedes Mexicanas fueron las mejores del Mundial de 2026.
La pelota volverá
