Basically i m afraid will see football go he way of the NBA where defending is an after thought at best cause we ll do everything for entertainments sake
What do you mean you're afraid?
This is football now thanks for the PL hype.
The average kid probably spends x5 more time watching highlights than actual football games.
The average person is probably at x2.
There is more money but less actual hype around football, you can feel this. Less people are interested in foreign leagues now. They focus on a domestic league, maybe a bit on a regional one - mostly if there's domestic interest that is - and the PL is the go-to league now from the top ones because it's so casual and it appeals to the casual following of the sport that UEFA and the English FA have nurtured. And the same people will follow whatever sounds more popular in CL if there's more than one game. How many people will watch Atletico vs Dortmund tonight you think?
