We wouldn't be this happy or invested in the result if they didn't spice it up acting as the villains this tournament. Love them or hate them they do bring the entertainment.
Maybe that's how you think. Personally, I don't have some sort of tiktok defiled brain that needs constant stimulation, oh my bad, "extra spice" to spice things up when I'm not even there for the spicy food. Every sport that is not the UFC (a matchfixing shitfest) doesn't need "extra spice" to make it more entertaining.
