Hell, look at the Women's World Cups—they sell out every single time. Back in '94, they were pulling averages of 68,000 people per match. Meanwhile, over in Europe, you see stadiums sitting half-empty during certain matches of the European Championship.

It’s easy for them to pull those numbers when they have a population of 250 million backing them up.😁>

Honestly, it feels like they’re just dragging these teams on some massive tour across the USA just to try and drum up interest in soccer, but it all feels pretty pointless to me. At the end of the day, we're just looking at a bunch of glorified preseason friendlies...

And honestly, nobody else even matters right now.
For those who haven't been paying attention, David has already signaled that he’s coming for the championship—if not this season, then definitely next year.🙂

😁

Look, his era is long gone, and if we’re being blunt, he was never really cut out for the championship anyway...

Raymond Carter2 said:I’m not sure if word has reached everyone yet, but Max Mosley has decided he isn't stepping down from the head of the FIA. What are your thoughts on this move?

Honestly, this whole situation just reminds me of how Markovica used to run things back in the day over in American soccer... 👎

It’s all Mihajlo's fault, really. He should have just walked away from Formula 1 right then and there, immediately after clinching that sixth world title...

ivansa said:You have to give them credit—Mosley & Bernie definitely tweaked a lot of the regulations just to spice things up.

Personally, I’m just not seeing how it actually became more interesting...

boldhound8 said:Do you think Formula 1 stands to lose much by losing Max Mosley? Personally, I think they will.

Not even close..

He’s got a point... why bother putting on a charade and pretending there's any friendship there when there clearly isn't?

Yeah, I caught wind of that news earlier... 😉

Ralf has confirmed he’s been in talks with Toyota, though I suspect they might be acting out of pure hesitation, perhaps fearing they'll pull the plug on him after everything that's gone down lately..
