Beyond certain Moneyball references, it’s very difficult to compare. There’s no draft in soccer, and no other mechanism to deliver any kind of parity... in fact, player power makes it more difficult to achieve.

Love that Leicester’s final game of the season is at Chelsea. Claudio’s going to fall apart when he hears the roar the Chelsea fans give him.
