Notes from the North End: How Much Soccer is Too Much Soccer?

Last summer was billed by one of the major sports networks as “The Summer of Soccer” and I was into it. My morning routine started by checking what games were on television that day and then I settled in and watched as much as I possibly could. I can safely say that I watched more soccer over the summer of 2021 than ever before. And it was great.

As a fan, I don’t think there is really any such thing as too much soccer. But for players and clubs, there has to be a limit out there. This MLS season has been, to my amateur eye, right on the verge.
