As a Brit abroad, I've become increasingly aware of the latest direction in which US promoters are desperately trying to take the game. Currently on TV ads over here for 'Soccer'[in particular the women's league], the emphasis is now being placed heavily on the individual 'stars' promotion.
In Europe, the game has survived for over a century on the 'Team' ethic. I just hope this latest developement doesn't filter too much into the men's game as I think it will be detremental to the 'esprit de corps' which is a fundamental element of any succesfull team sport.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this sad trend?
