I wouldn’t be so sure at this point in time. Everything outside of the big four and the best 3 teams in France are comparable or lower than MLS. The lesser EPL teams are much worse than MLS, at least for young player development. Every MLS team looks to have runs off of midfield through balls whereas Sunderland didn’t really do that this season. The Bundesliga is a more technical league with more advanced in-game psychology. Serie A is actually less athletic than MLS but it requires very quick and sophisticated in-game decisions. Spain is a funny one because the top and middle are better than MLS but not so much on the bottom. Regardless, it’s closer to what works at the international level than the frantic out-of-control pace of most EPL teams.

This hurts my brain

lol you missed the sentence right before that

quote:

Many joined in a throaty rendition of a traditional Liverpool supporter chant — “Oh when the Reds go marching in!”

I mean, I know it's done, but calling it a "traditional supporter chant" seems hyperbolic considering its way more commonly associated with Tottenham and Southampton

These are always the absolute worst posts. For me, it's the amount of effort these people must have had to go through to go through all the correlations between abstractions of abstractions to find some thing that is ultimately meaningless and then go onto write +500 words about it.

500 words is for the birds, real men write whole books about it.

the blurb alone makes me recoil

Why do England lose? Why does Scotland suck? Why doesn’t America dominate the sport internationally. . .and why do the Germans play with such an efficient but robotic style?
These are questions every soccer aficionado has asked. Soccernomics answers them.

Gustavo Poyet strode triumphantly away from the beaten carcass of another foe and allowed himself a sly grin.

He had arrived as the club with it facing the greatest peril in its history and yet, with the talent of a Zhukov, had emerged with the sun shinning upon his coal-black mane.

The scalps he had taken were enormous. Mr Poyet knew this. Cheslea, Man City, Man Utd; titans of the game who proved no match for his talents.

As he sauntered towards the mackem armada which greeted its King with an outburst of joy, he allowed his composure to slip;

'Tell me you never doubted me' he bellowed to his delirious kin.

'Tell me I have given life yo your hopes, I have given your most cherished dreams wings.'

Blinking away tears he thought he saw a ghostly presence amongst the Mackem Army. A fellow draped in a fine jacket and a sturdy hat bouncing precariously upon his cranium as he danced with joy.

'Thanks Bob' Mr Poyet muttered, his chiselled cheekbones now lit by a smile which could be seen all the way to Montevideo.

This is beautiful

A LAD FROM HUYTON

Liverpool FC have seen great days
In FA Cup finals that have blown us away
Rushie – Keegan - Ian St John
Or little Michael Owen in 2001

But in 2006 we witnessed a dream
As a special player entered the scene
A player who’s become an all-time great
A lad from a Liverpool council estate

Sometimes it’s hard to put into words
When something magical has occurred
At the time...you don’t realise
That history’s unfolding before your eyes

But down in Cardiff one sunny day
History was made in a special way
Like the Matthews final in 53
2006 was the final...of Stevie G

We’ve seen some great players in our time
Players who go beyond that line
The type that never try to hide
The type who play with fire and pride

That kind of passion just can’t be bought
It can’t be coached and it can’t be taught
It’s working class – it’s raw – it’s mean
It’s a lad from Huyton...who loves his team

We didn’t think we were gonna win it
We even said a prayer in that last minute
Then a saviour came and set us free
A saviour by the name...of Stevie G

It was like a vision from a dream
One of the finest goals we’ve ever seen
We felt as though we were floating away
We knew from that moment, it was our day

Cometh the hour cometh the man
Cometh the life-long Liverpool fan
Cometh the kid who once stood on the kop
Cometh our seventh...FA Cup

In years to come we’ll always look back
To those times in Cardiff, the laughs, the crack
Four major trophies...great city, great buzz
The Millennium stadium was good to us

But of all those times, there’s one special day
2006...the 13th of May
The most complete performance ever seen
By a lad from Huyton...who reigns...supreme
