What is this "playoffs" you speak of?

I assume you mean College Football

but there are about 3 billion soccer followers who’d also like to be recognized.

Fair enough

but don’t they at least play every other team in their league during the season?

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

Yes, one game at home, one away

And there are tournaments in each league throughout the year which have a sudden-death playoff feel.

My underlying (off-topic) point is that a playoff isn’t necessary to make a sport enjoyable. In fact, the MLS, NBA and NHL are all less enjoyable to me because the regular season hardly matters since half the teams make the playoffs.

Soccer just has tournaments alongside the regular season instead of as a postseason

College football is the only sport I can think of that doesn’t see the merits of tournaments.

We didn't miss it

It’s just so expected that it’s not worth mentioning.

Hopefully by this time next year it will either be worth noting or not happen at all.

Couldn’t quite extend hope till September.

"How did we miss that?"

We thought it happened back in April.
