Watch the Eurosnobs’ Heads Explode
posted on 4 December 2006 by cozOne of the hallmarks of Eurosnobbery in soccer is that American soccer can’t succeed until MLS adopts the late summer-through-late spring calendar used in many of the European leagues. Except now FIFA president Sepp Blatter has come out recommending that the world come closer to our way of doing things, rather than the other way around.
Of course, Blatter says a lot of things in the press that have very little basis in reality sometimes — like the infamous “women’s soccer should wear sexier uniforms” comment — but I’m really curious to see how this one ripples through BigSoccer, especially since Sepp says this idea is supported by the big European clubs. On the schedule, that is, not the women’s uniforms.
