Dr Jinx Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Poch has a massive job to get that team defending. Brighton would probably have won that if were not for the dumb red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Don't get it either. Full stadium, fans and players celebrating a beautiful stoppage time winner by one of the best players in footballs history making his debut for their club. Doesn't get much better than that surely?

But English is the primary language in the United States. On principal alone I think that’s a legitimate reason. But as you persist. Miami Heat use English speaking stadium announcers. Whatever Miami’s NFL team use English speaking stadium announcers. Same goes for their baseball team, The Miami Marlins. Miami’s Spanish speaking contingent come from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic. Countries/whatever Puerto Rico is where baseball is the primary sport. So why does the baseball team use English directions and the football team doesn’t? Feels icky and shoehorned and I am not for it.

Feels icky and shoehorned and I am not for it. As of the 2020 US census 1.9 million or 72.25% of Miami's population where Hispanic or Latino. Just because other clubs in the area don't do it, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing, Inter Miami may have a majority hispanic fan base, and they're just being inclusive, I'm not sure what's wrong with that?

If 72% of the population is Spanish shouldn’t that cover all the sports in the region? Especially baseball. Sounds like a PR spin to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 No, Inter Miami thinking Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Domicans play football. They don’t. They play baseball and their baseball team doesn’t speak Spanish so why does their football team? Doesn’t sit right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not catering to that group, and that group tends to consume their sports in English mostly. As opposed to south Americans who consume fútbol in Spanish. If you are Latin or Hispanic, or a Miami resident, you would know that. You know how many leagues are broadcast in Spanish speaking channels vs English speaking? How many baseball, basketball, etc leagues are broadcast in Spanish? This is not California. Anyone that lives in the USA and pays attention, knows that Spanish sources in California are different than Florida, which are different than Texas, which are different than the northeast. It's not a monolith. And those that follow fútbol, soccer, or whatever you want to call it, consume it in Spanish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Magpie Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MeyQL0pHXs I know friendlies aren't the best measure but it looks like Poch is making a difference already - or did Brighton go backwards?

I never bothered to investigate what minute he went off but the video shows the challenge that produced the second yellow and therefore red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Liverpool conceded 4 against the mighty Greuther Furth. Fielded a pretty solid team too.
