If you follow international leagues….you’ve for promotion/relegation. Basically, if the Royals suck, they get sent to triple A. If Omaha wins it, they go to MLB.
It’s super fun to follow and watch.
Even 0-0 games can be exciting. England has some do the best strikers in the world and our midfielders were just better athletes. Our speed on the edge was more than England could handle, but their strong center backs made up for that.
It’s like a fun chess match, but with humans. I think you’d like it, PB, if you watched it.

Like most sports, the more you understand the more you feel tension. Especially when you have rooting interest. In football 2nd down is more interesting to an educated fan because you don't want 3rd and long. A play on the 40 is important because field goal range is approaching etc. When you have a rooting interest everything is more important. When 1 goal can be all it takes every chance is nerve-racking, even if the chance is low that a result comes of it. It's chess, it's more a book than a movie.
There is much more to this sport than shots on goal. Focusing on that is missing the bigger picture. If you don't like it whatever that's your choice. I certainly understand that it's not for everyone.
He is correct. Life is short. We should watch the sports we enjoy, not the ones that he approves for us. I approve of his advice, just not in the way he intended.
