You're Wrong, Dave Portnoy... Football Doesn't Need Fixing

Dave Portnoy wants to make football more American. Bigger nets, power plays, one tackle a half... and I'm not having it. Today I go through every single one of his ideas and tell you exactly why the game does not need fixing. We talk scarcity, why a 0-0 can be a masterpiece, and why a red card already is a power play. Then come the receipts... the MLS shootout, the countdown clock, NASL bonus points. America already tried all of this in the 90s, and it failed. We get into Piqué's Kings League (and why it actually proves my point), the water breaks everybody hates, and a full World Cup recap... best thirds, a wide-open Group A, and Neymar's emotional return to Brazil. Five billion people can't be wrong. Come argue with me. Join the newsletter and be part of the show at thefootball.show.Chapters:00:00  Welcome + today's lineup00:51  Dave Portnoy, you're wrong01:56  Idea 1: Bigger nets (scarcity makes the game)04:24  Idea 2: Power plays are just hockey06:05  Idea 3: No backwards pass past midfield08:05  Idea 4: One tackle per half?
