Why work with younger guys and companies?

What do you think it is about soccer, that enables it to transcend the borders it has? Is it in the simplicity of the game?

Is there a distinction to be made between the love of the game or the heart of the game, as opposed to the power of the game?

You mentioned that the origins of the game came from a working class mentality?

Do you think immigration plays a large role in the following of soccer in the United States?

A lot of people have reported that this is now the Golden Age of documentaries. Do you believe that is true?
