Has soccer lost its charm? I simply seldom care about this sport anymore. There is nothing interesting going on. It's too long.

It's sovl but today was boring
Real Madrid are slurping through the tournament.
It's all because they removed the away goal rule, fricked everything up.
The hooligan aspect has gone
The tribal aspect has gone
The captains are no longer from the city they play for, nevermind the country
Too many blacks
Literally what’s the point?
The whole idea of football was to replace the tribalism of wars.
Supporting a bunch of over paid Black folk when you’re white is embarrassing
but Boca plays today and the Copa America is just around the corner
Also the libertadores and sudaca are kino this year
then go watch sunday league
>I’m bitter and and angry because it won’t let me be bitter and angry
You didn't offer your opinion? Attacking people's beliefs seems to be your whole identity.
Racists live a tough life.
this it was always a stand-in for war but now thirdies think they can get revenge via it lol
>The captains are no longer from the city they play
Soul. Didn't know this was a thing.
Not really, life doesn't revolve around your feelings
it's called getting older, there's only so much football you can watch before you've seen it all. it's like if a tv show had 150 seasons, that's just what football is. and there's another one starting in a few months
I only started watching last season so football is still incredibly exciting and new to me
Zoomer
I agree it's a snoozefest. I've switched to F1.
>this thing sucks so I moved to something even worse
Bayern-Real wasn't more exciting than vroom vroom? (grew up in an era when F1 was on national TV pretty much every Sunday) I even had some F1 toy cars. No Schumi no F1 for me.
>No Schumi no F1 for me.
ah yes, the good old days... when Schumi wasn't a vegetable yet
>missing schumacher while existed a much more entertaining pilot at that time
i know portugal and brazil kinda dislike each other but come on
Can only speak for myself and I don't really give a frick anymore. The occasional highlights are fun, but I've not watched a full game in about six years
Like many other things, it has been gradually going downhill since the turn of the millennium. Zoomers will never know how much fun 90s football was. It's just a soulless corporate cash cow now.
>old good
>new bad
It's getting worse and worse with every new pacey ngubu mercenary with a tiktok haircut
Yes it's getting more soulless and corporate for every passing year, but this years CL has been kino and if you can't see that you shouldn't be watching
• VAR
• Female commentators
• Tackling is practically illegal
• Very few likeable players
The last 90 minute game that I watched was the 2012 champions league final.
Drogba scoring that winning penalty was a good way to go out, but the 2005 champions league final was the peak!
>• VAR
>• Tackling is practically illegal
good
>• Very few likeable players
>• Female commentators
bad
I watched the highlights of that last night. I thought it was funny one of the other players David Luiz took a running sprint up to shoot from really far out, but Drogba to win the game had the most casual pen of all just took one step forward and slotted it away without even thinking
It was never good, you just grew up.
watch some PUCK dude. it's leafs elimination day, my favorite holiday
I love footy and always will i reckon. It changes but it's still always interesting
nowadays players are so shit per capita, an all time low even and the top 1% are either black or white tiktok ngubu
i don't even associate these shitty teams with the clubs they are playing for anymore
It may work if you have a sexual break from watching footy. Also I agree that modern football is totally utilitarian, Ronaldinho would be shouted at by some bald fraud to play simple pass if he played today, no fun allowed.
>Reddits clubs are out
It's your fault for being a messhitc**t. Madridchads enjoy always winning.
>PL is dominated by City
>La Liga is dominated by RM
>Bundesligais dominated by Bayern
>Uber Eats is dominated by PSG
Yeah every once in a while someone else wins, but they're still always the best team in their leagues and always in the quarters or semis of the CL. It's too predictable now and became very stale
In order to smesh modern football, someone should smesh neoliberalism first. Publicly owned clubs is the only way to save the game.
Thanks for the one good post in the thread, comrade
Real madrid luck has destroyed this competition, even Florentino knows they dont deserve it, thats why he wanted a new competiton, hes ashamed of their wins
Consider the following:
I don't even watch the games anymore. I just look at the results and the standings once a week.
Yes
Real-City was good tbf, cba with the rest CL snoozefest till Reals inevitablewin now tho. The seasons gone on too long otherwise, get it to and tennis break or someshit as palate cleanser before the Euros
CL quarter finals are consistently outstanding, remember the Tottenham’s run, for example. Then it’s usually followed by 5 slurpers of “we’re gonna carry the trophy to our owner’s feet by all means necessary like good boys we are”
Nowadays in Europe, football is played by the managers, not the players. Watch non-European footie if you want sovl.
It's literally the same it always was when it comes to my local team. Same old fun going to the stadium, travelling on away days, meeting friends, defending your city and your region.
However, I haven't watched top level football in years at this point.
There's hype in international tournament but the club scene is ruined
>yuropoors starting to realize soccer sucks
>they're actually evolving
Maybe someday soon you will finally join us and Canada in the first world.
What sport do you have that doesn’t suck? Basketball, probably, that’s about it, also apparently it’s poisoned by social media drama. Handegg is too artificial and commodified, no mass appeal cause you need a lot of special equipment to play it yourself. Same with hockey, also a snowmonkey’s sport the world doesn’t care about, and the gameplay is too repetitive and lacks variation. The rest of your sports just plainly suck.
Football is a very popular pickup sport. You don't need to wear full pads when playing casual games in the park.
Okay, fair enough. What if I want to play a serious amateur game? Sunday league football is incomparably more accessible, than handegg.
Which is why soccer is so popular with thirdies. Hence the comment about joining us in the first world where we watch entertaining sports for people with means. But no one invited Russia anyway.
I doubt a lot of amateurs play handeggs seriously in the US either. Probably too dangerous and your people are too fat in general. Football will always remain a king.
>t. thirdies
Dude, no one cares about one of your many Black person sports. I'm sorry but have fun playing alone lol
Your sports are awful, baseball excepted
What % of Americans play serious amateur handegg?
>god i HATE modern football
>also i haven't watched a full match in 10 years
big fan of this particularly moronic genre of post
Shit refereeing. Honestly been a solid 10 years since any of the comps I watch wasn't decided by referees. I can't even unsee it in local rec league shit. I'm probably done with football until they get automated refereeing in place.
yeah nobody under 60 watches footy. We still play it though
>every player is just some african "18 year old" who is actually 25
>entire clubs are bought out by the premier league and real/bayern
>every big club is owned by arabs or chinese
>the only "fans" are nafris, saars or 16 year olds
football is dead
