[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1110770, member: 73648"] sort of kind of. Our sports culture is extremely conservative. Coaches play to not lose their job rather than to win. Teams bringing in analytics consultants has kind of changed that. We force every game to go to overtime so that someone can walk away a winner even though they don't deserve it. I do agree that playing in a pro/rel league has a different attitude than a ring fenced one and that's why I really don't want the premiership to change. Wynalda is a **** stirrer but he's one of the founding fathers of modern American soccer so he has some wisdom to pass down. Also think it's worth mentioning (and I wrote my thesis on this) that soccer made an affirmative step to punish teams that play the way the Americans do when they switched a win from 2 points to 3. You need to actually go out and win; not gather points by drawing. [/QUOTE]
