    I don’t understand who the target audience is for that game. No one really cares in Miami, Al Ahly isn’t drawing anyone in.

    I get the appeal for this(later rounds) while also thinking it’s absolute bullshit what these players have to go through

    Think the lack of appeal for many games is because there’s 5-6 teams nobody have ever heard of then another 5-6 nobody really give a fuck about then 5-6 more that could be entertaining but few really care about them teams

    It will entertain me more than any sport this summer but it’s awful for the players and diminishes the real shit.

    Other than the obvious health and burnout concerns it seems like overkill. It is nice to get a break from the pro seasons. Briefly put tonight’s game on and was surprised how the crowd looked, reports a few days ago said around only 20K tickets were sold. Will watch some if nothing else is on but seems weird to make a team like PSG come off a Champions League and do this.

    This tournament only has one purpose. To watch our three MLS giants (more clubs qualified than any other league on the planet) dominate the world.
