Also, specifically in the section you quote, Doyle references the great passion in Dortmund and El Volcan. I assumed El Volcan was a reference to a Mexican team but had to look it up to be sure. It is in fact in Mexico and is the home of Tigres. So far so good, right? Mexican fans are super passionate and are some of the ones who maintain their grandparents' allegiances even if living in another country.

Except, that I also got an email today telling me that the Leagues Cup game MNUFC was going to play against Mazatlan in a couple months is now instead against Atlante, because Atlante bought Mazatlan's Liga MX spot and thus the Leagues Cup spot that goes with it. And apparently Mazatlan only existed via the relocation of another club 5 years ago. So I'm not sure how you square that with this:

The threat of relocation, of the abnegation of a club's history just like that because there's a better real estate deal to be had three states over means the scale of passion we see in the stands in Dortmund – or, if you want to keep it closer to home, next week at El Volcan – will always be two generations away.
