The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

Which is why I added the Twitter thread ... very interesting story. I was not aware.Certainly not the plucky underdog I thought they were.

 

Ah. I replied before you added the tweet.

Paramount+ host briefly added it as a throwaway line after all the praise.

 

There are very few heroes and a lot of villains in big time soccer ownership.
