Soccer friendlies are often disappointing, and yesterday's game at AT&T Park, between a team I don't support, and a team I'd never heard of (Manchester City and Club America) was just that.
City at least fielded most of their full team - everyone except that arch complainer, Carlos Tevez. Admittedly, they substituted all 11 players at half time, which added to the air of surrealism.
At least the Latino element of the 11,250 crowd made some noise: the drums and trumpets made it sound like a passionate game, even if the players didn't rise to the occasion.
The warm evening, Gareth's commentary, and the beers and tacos at Pete's Bar afterward meant the day was enjoyable, and confirmed my membership of the Manchester City, Who Cares? club.
The score? Irrelevant.

It is interesting to look back at how much excitement there was around Spotify when it first became available in the US. The comparison with Pandora gives the review a useful perspective on what users were expecting at the time. Online entertainment has continued to expand since then, with options such as 888GJ game now part of the wider digital landscape.
The point about hype versus actual user experience really stood out to me. A service can receive a lot of attention, but the important thing is whether its features actually provide value. That same idea applies when people explore other digital platforms, including 883v game, where usability can make a difference.
