I grew up in Boulder CO lol a lot of athletes head up there to train for any kind of running/cycling event. Like, people will train there for the Boston Marathon just cause if you can do it well up there, it’ll be better wherever. It definitely makes a difference. But I don’t know enough about soccer. Like do they trade people in and out like hockey or football? That’d make a big difference in how much it matters.
At the pro level you get very few substitutions, like 3 for the entire match but maybe it’s been updated since
Edit: 5, with extra in overtime and extra for a concussion
Ahh, yeah I imagine soccer to be one of the most physically demanding sports. Running pretty much constantly for that long. I respect the hell out of the players, I just find it far too boring to watch.
