90% of that audience will not likely watch another soccer game until 2030 (except maybe some that watch the Gold Cup).

now you know why John Strong said what he said at the end...

This USMNT team just made sure there is zero casual interest for Gold Cup and Friendlies over the next four years. So much damage done in 90+ minutes.

That’s Gold Cup and friendlies… why would we expect casual interest when we’re beating Haiti 4-0 for the 5838283th time?

What do we have to look forward to until 2030? Mexico a few times and a Copa? Then at least the qualifying in hostile Central American stadiums can be pretty cool…

While we’re on the subject of interest, I’d love to know how the games on Fox not involving the U.S. (or Mexico for that matter) are doing in the ratings…

However, it’s a big mistake not involving more loyal, smaller markets in order to increase drama and revenue potential.

We need to build up our local clubs and leagues… like the GCPL

Elite hostile atmosphere

Azteca will always be an elite atmosphere but England put a huge dent in it if not outright ending the Azteca’s mystique… I won’t be surprised if the USA wins there soon in qualifying the next time around

Yeah, it is AI. Here is the prompt I used. image of a very hostile soccer match at Azteca stadium between Mexico & England. Make it very intimidating for the England players who look visibly scared. Make it very detailed and wide shot where you have to zoom in to see what’s actually going on. Show one section fighting, one section throwing stuff on the field, and in the middle ot it all, add a Where’s Waldo that is hard to find

Wouldn’t be like that if Mexico won…

But if England hold on with 10 men for about 40 more minutes…

you do know the mlb playoffs are a crapshoot? Play them 100 times and maybe the Dodgers win the most still if they’re the best team, but it will still be fun to watch. Did we forget game 7 last year?
