If you’re going to seed a tournament at all, do it correctly. I’d be fine with them doing a full 1-128, that would make a lot more sense to me than the current system.
And there’s no increased entertainment value here, don’t even understand that argument, but you’re not going to get me to budge one iota on this opinion, and I will continue to annoyingly complain about it a few times per year, sorry to all.
As for soccer, the late seventies Cosmos were the only sports team I ever had season tickets to, my dad and I used to go when I was very young and I saw some of the most exciting sporting events of my life. Nevertheless I quit watching soccer entirely a few years ago largely because I find there is too much randomness and luck in the sport for my taste, not just the draws as you describe but the actual sport. I get that like most things in the world, I am in the minority here.
