What else is there to say that hasn't been told over the years? There has been so much controversy about some of the decisions that FIFA has made over the years and how that has raked scandal in the decision-making body. Harrison, David, and Canon share their opinions on this episode of the Why We Think Series.

Welcome to the inaugural Why We Think Series! This show will serve as an off-shoot of our Pitchside Banter Podcast show, where we attempt to discuss phenomena surrounding football and give our hot takes on said matters. We thought first to discuss why we believe Messi never merited the Ballon D'or award in 2010 ahead of the likes of Wesley Sneijder of the Netherlands, who had just won 5 trophies that season and led the Netherlands to the final of the World Cup in South Africa that same year.

On the second episode of the Pitchside Banter Podcast Show, the boys (Harrison - your Host - David and Canon) discuss the impact of a team system on their success rate and how factors like player contracts may either hinder or motivate player performance on the pitch.
