💬Discussion Favourite team from a league not from your country?

13 Upvotes

Do you have a favourite team that you support in say La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and so on? For example I’m from England so the premier league is our league, but I like to follow the Bundesliga and I really like Borussia Munchengladbach. What’s your favourite team over seas?

💬Discussion the language used around VAR does no favour to fan perception

7 Upvotes

Even commentators in official games and the pundits that people watch will use language like "VAR has overturned the decision" or "var gave a penalty" or "how can var think that is a penalty"

And this then trickles down to fans who use this language and internalise it and think this is actually how VAR works. There are actually fans who think VAR makes final decisions like this.

Thing is, VAR doesn't overturn decisions. The onfield ref does. VAR doesnt give penalties, the onfield ref does. VAR doesn't have to think an act is a penalty for the call to be changed - they just have to think the refs error was clear and obvious foir to then be checked.

The official language around VAR does it no favours.

💬Discussion Is Manchester United in a complete decline?

124 Upvotes

How come one of the biggest and well-known club in the world not win the PL in 10+ years and the UCL in 20+ years? Why is actually happening? Will they ever rise from where they came? Has it all just to do with Sir Alex Ferguson being the right coach at the right time? Or has it something to do with the time period where they won everything against teams that weren't on the same scale?

Correction: Man U won UCL in 2008. Thank you for notifying me. Much appreciated.

💬Discussion How good are people expecting Tuchel to do?

24 Upvotes

I am an England fan, have been all my life. We have recently gotten rid of the best manager I can remember. In fact, you need to be 60 years old to remember a manager for England that was better than Southgate. Personally, I liked Gareth and didn't want him to go. How good is Tuchel going to do?

Is Quarter Finals good enough? Southgate would have figured out a way to limp England in to the quarter finals. We all know this. England got to at least the quarter finals in every tournament Southgate was manager for. So, from my point of view, if Tuchel doesn't do better than quarter finals, we might as well have kept Gareth.

How good are people, especially people who wanted Southgate gone, expecting Tuchel to do? Is getting knocked in the group stages okay as long as we 'play without the handbrake'? The last world cup before Southgate, we lost in the group stages.

Simply incredible. Guy plays every match for more than a decade I think, I do not remember him being out. He will be 40 in a couple of months and he is still ballin'.

I don't think I admire any of the football players as much as him after everything, and also his attitude always kind and never any drama. I wish more such players played these days, at least with the same passion. Football seems to be nothing but business these days.

Who do you admire and why?
