If you compare the football-related interests of Joe Devine and Alex Stewart in a venn diagram, the resulting overlap is probably less than a sliver. Can Alex overcome Joe's low attention span to fill up Joe's Care-O-Meter?
Welcome to Why Should I Care About!
In this episode, Alex tries to make Joe care about Atalanta.

Don't forget many other stars from our past started from Atalanta, too: Scirea, Donadoni and Montolivo are good examples of it. Other great products of their youth sector in recent years include Conti, Gagliardini, Caldara (albeit they've all been pretty unlucky), Kessie, Bastoni, Barrow, Del Prato and Carnesecchi. Also, a slight correction: Locatelli did start playing in Atalanta's youth sector, but then completed his path to professional football with AC Milan. 😉
“Mikel Arteta’s Doughnut” This is a thing now
me telling my friends about Tifo IRL
When Alex said "queen of the provinces" I thought that Joe would say "oohh, I care about the queen."
Loved the video and like Alex, I love Atalanta. They're consistently fun to watch, you get to see brilliant players before they 'make it big', and their matches are rarely dull.
Interesting video concept. Do Villareal or Sassuolo next .
"delivering the Maehle" I already love this. All of this.
Great content as always. Keep going.
This is exactly how I'm going to introduce friends to each other. "I've known them for a long time, and one of my least favorite things about them--"
I love this format! Very refreshing and entertaining. Hope we could see more in the upcoming season!
Alex really needs to write a book
I used to like Atalanta, but I love Atalanta now. Thank you TiFo for this very informative analysis. Wish there was more about Papu Gomes
The first time I ever heard of Atalanta was when they lost the first leg of a Cup Winners Cup tie in 1987 to the giants of Merthyr Tydfil. That's worth being interested in.

Leipzig is dying, the rest of the game they played so horrible, lucky they still 2nd. If they keep playing like that, I guess next season they will be mid of the table
Atalanta's success is more significant when you factor in that Bergamo is one of Italy's motor racing hubs, one of the few places football is not always number 1
I'm a Roma fan but when I see Atalanta I know where Gona concede at least 2 goals
Wowo this is brilliant guys. I'm 2mins in and Joe's boredom is killing me at 1 : 33 when Alex speak of Venice 🤣🤣🤣
Alex was good and all, but Seb in the background offered some incredibly charismatic points throughout the entire conversation thx Seb... and alex I guess, I now happen to also care more about Atalanta

Thank you Tifo. I have always wondered about Atalanta PS: I LOVE the Care-o-Meter
Great video! I love the dynamic between the two hosts and amazing information! Im sold on atalanta now and look forward to watching them play next year. Keep it up Tifo, quality content, I'm excited for another installment of this show
I'm actually playing a FIFA player career as a false 9 CF for Atalanta, and every thing he said is all there. The fluidity playstyle and attacking mentality is really spot-on. KZread recommendation can be really spooky sometimes
this channel is different gravy, it’s wavy
Best way to sum up Atalanata is..They don't care how many goals they concede, as long as they score more than that.
Brilliant format!
Serie A was one of two of the top 5 leagues i didn't have a favourite team in. Now, thanks to you guys Atalanta is that team. Now make me care about a Ligue 1 Uber Eats team.
Tifo seem like such a great bunch of lads
Great video guys! Extremely educational and funny! For me Tifo/IRL best channels on YT! Keep it up!
I would love see this ement very often, absolutely nailed it ❤️❤️
I want a video about Bergamo's history and the tapestries, written and narrated by Alex.
I am a Milan fan and i like/respect atalanta even though they beat us on a couple of occasions. Just something about the underdogs like how i like Real betis from spain. Atalanta and Real Betis can be seen as big teams now but they are still underdogs
Every time Joe stares into the camera for about 2-3 seconds after talking, he gives off "every second you're not running, I'm only getting closer" vibes lol
I wanna see a size comparison of Joe and Alex. Coz while I know Joe's the bigger guy, I feel like Alex could still have the physique to take him out in a fight.
Atalanta are one of the world’s great people’s clubs. I wish they would have talked about their Ultras and incredible supporters, but so glad just to see a great club get attention
Love your content, it's just amazing. I really enjoy it.
The 2010s was a horrible and beautiful time to be an italian football fan. In the shadow of Juve dominance, the league became a cradle of tactical innovation and beautiful football. Sarri, De Zerbi and even Conte and Gattuso; but the long overdue modernisation of Italian football could not have happened without Gasperini’s Atalanta.
I only casually follow the Serie A, Atalanta was one of the teams I started watching this season. Such a fun team to watch, seems like they are always up to something and some really talented players ilicic, Zapata de roon can all play in world class clubs
Loved this, it had a similar vibe to the Euros podcasts. More please!!
12:28 "Who doesn't love goals?" JOSE!!!
I feel it's a stretch to say that Manu Locatelli is a Atalanta youth product, he spent 2 years there before the age of 11 years old. Then he went on to the AC Milan where he spent 7 years! before the age of maturity (alongside his mate Cutrone). Since around the age of 15 he showed promise which lead him to join the Italy U-15, 16 and then U-17 ranks. Years before the revamp of the Atalanta youth system, or Gasperini joining. I would be fairer to say that he is a AC Milan youth product.
Alex is really trying his best to be energetic. what a guy
Great vid format and channel! First port of call for footy analysis and humour!
Venice having an allegiant city so close to Milan is very interesting and probably shows the fluidity of late medieval borders.

Note of pronunciation. de Roon being dutch means it should be pronounced de Roan. I only say because I know you care about these things :)
Manuel Locatelli is a stretch (Atalanta Youth Player). Only at Atalanta from age of 9-11 then joined Milan and stayed with them till his breakthrough to senior side. There are so many more better examples to use
This set up makes it look like it's an oral exam. Joe's inviting all the students to come in, asking them questions while sitting at his laptop all smug, while they struggle to impress him on the screen. "I invite you to begin"
Great video and style of presenting the topics....loved it
This video was the turning point when I realized that Joe Devine is half-comedian, half chaos energy.
They have a conan and jordan schlanksy kind of vibe
Joe has locked Alex in the white void with only the video board for company. Every two weeks he visits and says “why should I care.”
Love the concept, please do more video of this type.
This is my favourite series ever, this works so well.

What do you guys use to show the tactics. Is it an app or is it pre-installed on the table thing? I would love to use it.
This format is brilliant. Learnt much about Atalanta whilst being throughly entertained
Why Atalanta succeed is how they improve their academy, it's just incredible.
Joe: "He's delivering the mail, yeah? Right up there into the front." Alex:
I really really really don’t know if you guys included JJ Bull are actually this awkward or it’s just an act either way I love it😂😂😂😂😂
Pazzini and Montolivo. Some ancient yet famous names in Italian football. Came from Atalanta.
That's Joe "He delivers the mail" Devine, that's quality.
Alex literally just jumps on any hipster football cliché, whilst feeling he’s novel, simultaneously interacting with the world and it’s living creatures with nothing but emotionlessness, interrupted by fleeting moments of disdain.

Locatelli was more on Milan academy than the Atalanta one ffs. There are a bunch of other examples... why chose one who spent 7 years on the academy of Milan?!
