Countdown?

Really appreciate your podcast. Find your discussions on broadcast rights of the various sports very insightful (despite the fact being in Canada Bell Media grabs most of the rights here so not so relevant)…I don’t miss a pod.

Irregardless, 😉 don’t you think when you are counting down the biggest stories of the year you should go from 5 to 1 instead of 1 to 5? Doesn’t that make it a count up? Just a suggestion. Keep us glued to the very end with the big reveal…

Great inside scoops from these guys!

MLS not 6, 7 or 8th best league

MLS is usually ranked around 15. At best, using certain metrics, I have seen it ranked 10th. Top MLS club in 538 world club rankings is below 110.
