With regards to the "the soccer show that isn't really about soccer" ...
Some of my all-time favourite shows have been of this ilk:
Sports Night, the show about "SportsCenter" shows that isn't really about "SportsCenter" shows.
The West Wing, the show about politics that isn't really about politics.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, the show about "Saturday Night Live" shows that isn't really about "Saturday Night Live" shows.
The Newsroom, the show about "CNN" networks that isn't about "CNN" networks.
Dramadies that are set around characters doing interesting things that aren't actually about those interesting things are my jam.
