About this listen

There is more football than ever before, yet many fans are watching less of it.

In this episode, Alastair and Guo Feng reflect on how packed calendars, expanding tournaments, and modern life have reshaped the way fans engage with football. Rather than blaming fatigue or apathy, they explore why being selective has become a reasonable, even necessary, response.

This conversation is about attention, meaning, trade-offs, and why loving football does not always mean watching every match.
