I can see an increase in shorter contracts and wage caps (which the game desperately needs, IMO) in the near future.

i was in paris at the time of the world cup one year and in the square they had a big television mounted on a building and people were going absolutely apeshit. people do still take it very serioulsy...serious to the point of issuing beatdowns. so i can't imagine what it would've been like 30 years ago.
