G.O.T.E. Is the New G.O.A.T.

The great thing about sports is that results are objective. There are won-loss records, tournaments, playoffs, and championships. The winner is decided on the field of play.

What was the toughest era? What’s the best team? Could the best team from a prior era beat the top squad from today’s game?

The only thing that is truly malleable is the narrative.
