Is anybody else losing interest in football (soccer)?

it's like the sport is becoming full onions and meaningless. lotsa money and PC culture but no passion. teams filled with mercenaries. too corporate. differences between big and small clubs growing. I prefer to watch other sports nowadays.

no

All you fucking faggots who are 'against modern football' can eat a dick salad. No, I dont want to see hoofball and murderball between two teams of semi pro hooligans in a dirt pitch. I want to see superteams made of the very best players on the planet face each other and push for excellence in the very best conditions we can get.

Yes, it's boring as fuck.
Game is dying for true fans. Americans, Arabs and Chinese will keep it alive from now on

looks like a fucking tranny. disgusting!

But those teams are not made of the best players in the planet...

What the fuck are you guys talking about. It isn't changing, it already did change like 15 fucking years ago.

I unironically can no longer watch 90 minutes of football and spend most of the match time on my phones instead of watching the game.

You have to admit this year's CL season was absolute KINO, except for the final.

You're a meme

Madre mia, se nos morió el fudbol

International football is boring most of the time , always 1-0 fests

i want a gf so bad bros

I'm scared to ask but is she a girl?

soccer is and always has been shit

Go watch apehoop

There is literally nothing wrong with PC culture.

Yea truly amazing, Neymar for 300,000,000 please #cometobarca

For real I'm getting tired as fuck with it.
Year in year out, everything's the same.

I'm a 100% exclusively highlights man as of now and in the future maybe I'll drop it altogether.
INSHALLAH

Yes it’s pathetic
>homosexual detected

Literally crying like a bitch does not equal passion

why do europeans and south americans only watch one sport? must be so grim

Never liked it

In Brazil, there are no love for the club anymore, the players only care for money, it's even common for players to force a transfer to their club's biggest rival all because of money. Few are the players who still feel love for their clubs, one example is Thiago Silva who still love Fluminense.

It's a sport for girls and femmeboys now

Must suck only watching the super duper leagues, do you not feel an attraction to non-top tier sport?

You guys can go watch games from the third tier of football, that's what you want to see.

I've gotten much more casual about it since I've had kids

We've tried to tell how shitty this sport is. Constant ties, minigames, diving, lowest comeback factor in all of sports, etc, etc. Maybe as the indoctrination is wearing off, you're starting to see the truth,

And before foreigners start seething, I don't care what you think about American sports. Not suggesting you watch our sports, but give the better sports in your regions some love, rugby, Gaelic football, cricket, hurling, field hockey (better implementation of the soccer concept).

S-source?

if anything the sport is getting americanized. I don't have a problem with football per se, but how money and making a big spectacle is destroying the sport. Death by sanitation.

Hoofball is still alive and well in Ireland

what super teams. Hasnt it always been like this.

wasnt Milan and Manure super teams in the 90s. Manure stayed one until like 2012.

Madrid literally had a name for its super team. and Barca pretty much has had a super team since 2009.

if you count for inflation, footy has been like this for at least 2 decades

they combined stars with home players, they were nicely balanced and created a sense of belonging. but yeah, shit's been going downhill ever since the bosman law

Watch some Copa Libertadores and wait for chimpouts, that's what I do

Yeah I unironically get more excited for boxing, MMA, darts and snooker these days

VAR is killing futebol

I love football

Except what the modern game is is barely a sport anymore, it's a business. Doesn't really feel like football anymore, just a front for some faggots to make money.

Great footballing periods - Utd/Arsenal, Madrid/Barca - always combine great football with murderball.

Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo, Zidane, Michael Owen, Fabinho, and Ramos sure were home grown talents I remember it like it was yesterday when they walked through the youth leagues to Real Madrid Castilla and finally to the first team. Wow what a moment for Madrid. fielding 8 youth players from their academy in the starting lineup. what an accomplishment!

No it hasn’t always been like this. There used to be far more parity across Europe. The current decade has seen a handful of clubs climb to an elite status that the chasing pack can’t hope to catch.

yeah it's nice when you forget about raul, sanchis, hierro, casillas, morientes, and then you have shitters that add charm like ivan campo, raul bravo, pavon, munitis and the likes

I would argue the only reason parity has become worse is because of Messi and Ronaldo. Pretty much for the past 10 years whoever has had either of them were going to win.

Raul came from Atletico, Morientes from Albacete, Hierro from Valladolid, Salgado from Celta, Helguera from Racing

Nice home players you got there

I mean you could say this about anything team now though. what teams arent using youth right now? even Madrid are. The only reason Barcelona isnt is because Bartomeu fucked up la masia. Liverpool has trent alexander arnold, Joe Gomez, Curtis jones etc.

Manure has been using youth players as well. Ajax almost got to the Champions league final too.

aside from maybe PSG and Man city what team is not mixing big signings with their youth players?

yep, for me it's cricket

But it is very near of it.

Honestly I am very tired of rioting for teams of other countries, I want our league to be good and competitive, to each team represent each city and make the people feel the colors of it because the players grew up with them in the town, kinda like Honduras progreso in the season they won the league, we should start constructing stadiums, not big ones, small stadiums with good infraestructure, I want to feel my own league.

But obviously corruption in Fenafuth and people not willing to support our own stuff will make that impossible. If only user.

I agree, capitalism is ruining football

I mean, the profesional sport has always been capitalist, the big difference is that it wasn't a corporative scheme, modern day teams are no more teams, they are corporations, and act as cold and soulless as every corporation does, they do not care about passion, they care about the numbers.

customers sure have it rough

this is why I never understand the contempt of english, spanish and italian football fans (no idea how it is in Germany) for MLS. the relegation and promotion doesn't negate the fact their teams essentially function as franchises as well. they have an owner and directing board that make all decisions. they're not "clubs" in the sense we understand them in south america at least.

>he only follows top flight football on TV

Yes, but it is because they are copying the USA corporativism, if you watch the NBA you will see all those teams are corporations, franchises, instead of teams, they are not signing the best talents or rising young talents by themselves, they are literal hype beasts, each NBA season is decided before the season even started, the two teams that do the biggest and most expensive signings are the ones that will get to the finals, and then all the other matches feel soulless because you already know those two teams are the ones getting to the finals, and European football is becoming just like that. Entire seasons get decided before the matches even started via signings.

You're dumb af. American sports have a completely different financial system. Look at American football. Basically every team has the they chance every year. It doesn't matter if your Dallas and make a ton of revenue or some shit hole like the titoons. You're just allowed to spend so much money on your players. Fuck soccer. The whole system is so rotten an corrupt, every employee of fifa and uefa should be shot

fag

PC cunt

The way American sports are setup stops the huge market teams from being dominant.

Grow up.

They’ve definitely played a big part, I’d agree.

>third world bandwagoner wants football to be a sanitised version of itself
No surprises here.

Same shit is happening with our sports tbqh. It's a zoomer thing not a Burger thing

>anglo footy
the heart of true football lies in SA, and it has always been like that
specially now with all that rampant faggotry that's going on in the northern hemisphere

Yeah, lost interest years ago. There's no passion between the players anymore and fans are getting gayer. Just look at man utd Liverpool games, I can't remember the last time that game played like a rivalry

This.
>MUH PASSION
>we
Fuck off, what supporting a team even means?

personally I would nuke SA but he's got a point here.

The ultimate Doomer post.

Not everything sucks. Grow up.

Being a blade is like a haven from all that bollocks.
If we disappeared overnight I'd have no reason to keep watching.

euros should have never let american owners start buying teams
soon every club will look like arsenal and have >40m transfer budget

It's a sport for girls

yes i only watch my club and big cl matches nowadays

Red pill me on how Latin American clubs are run differently to English clubs. Excluding the likes of Man United - the rest of us cannot comprehend that level of plasticity.

Dont care, ive never been a big football anyway, i preffer american football

Why did Honduras fall from a concacaf super power to being lower than the caribean islands?

/thread

you are right. no idea why everyone here is complaining.

cringe

yikes

I don't like the players personally, too many pacebabies and "muh workrate" mongs. No technique, the game likes style and beauty these days.

*lacks style and beauty
fixed

You and OPs are saying the opposite you mong. Modern football means more technical football, muh passion basically means workhorses. No other era in football history has had as many technical players as this one.

"she" is a boy

this but with performance enhancing drugs fully permitted

Fans "own" the 100% of the club.

Based

I personally just dislike our draft system. Teams like the Knicks and the Suns are just dead ends for players with no developmental talent at all, and continue to be handed the best players in order to make them somewhat decent. Anthony Davis just wasted 7 years in New Orleans carrying the team to bronze-level achievements, when he could've been playing for an actual good organization like the Spurs or the Celtics and getting them over the hump.

the knicks have never been handed the best players, they literally always get fucked in the draft
the cavaliers and the pelicans are the team that keep getting handed the #1 pick
the knicks can only dream of getting handed the top pick one of these years

I stopped watching club soccer seriously 7 years ago, completely agree with you.

>tf
>tp
are you a barca 'fan'? seriously someone please tell me what's even the point of supporting teams like barca that just buy random galacticos? sure you can enjoy great games watching them play and making history and all but is that really 'your' team??

what do you mean by capitalist but 'corporative'? what's 'corporative' to you? you just don't like this word? capitalists always care about profits, right. how was that different then 10/20/50 years ago?

>fans
you mean the likes of barra bravas in argentina? basically criminal organizations involved in drug operations and money laundering and providing muscle to the corrupt politicians? basically mafia?

I want high quality football as well but I also want to teams to retain their local identity. At the CL and Europa level teams should have to keep 5 domestic players on the pitch at all times.

yeah it's boring due to the owners spending extravagantly or not investing a single cent at all and most of the time they don't know the identity or what the club stands for anyway - the most they do is some PR lip service about muh class or sumshit

and as usual social media inflating the egos of those players even more so yeah from that aspect football is boring now

watch rugby ya poof

Nein, du bist nur retarded

You're full of shit, nobody gives a shit about technique anymore.

and I watch local footy too but it's just the same except at smaller scale with some third rate soulless import/foreign players playing for the local team

even then no local lads either so what's the point lol

It would be grim if that were true.

Honestly if this holds true I worry for you guys desu. Do zoomers in Spain like basketball and e-sports in increasing amounts?

frigg off, jt. nobody loves you.

I am a rasenball sport lifelong. A great customer experience so far. Auf geht's leipziger Jünge

Ich weiß, Mehmet

The MLS is still kind of unpredictable though. It's been years since someone has done the double.

not a big fan of ffp or any of that shit, let owners spend what they want, but have a domestic player minimum in each league
champions league for the champions only, bring back uefa cup and cup winners cup desu. two legs in europe only, domestic cups one leg no replay
no issues with squad numbers or anything like that, more outlandish the better
also with more tv money reduce ticket prices for fans, particularly over here in england, more fans in the ground the better the atmosphere
balance between the new and the old

Yes and no. My national football team holds the highest level of esteem and importance over all other teams across all sports for me. That won't change. As for domestic football, I agree. For years I've gone and vocally supported a franchise club in a stale closed off ten-team gimmick league run by corporate out of touch buffoons -that don't even have a football background; who all one day decided you shouldn't be allowed to swear while chanting support for your club. Fking idiots. I suppose I should just be happy that there exists a professional football team representing the region I live. As for watching EPL team? No connection. Thus no real feeling of passion. It's not the way football is meant to be watched.

Wait. Mean to tell me that they don't have to have any Nationals on their teams

Hahhahaha everyday I see the divide between us and the yuropoors and why America will continue to lead and inovate and yurop will keep fadding into the abyss

onions are good for you

>differences between big and small clubs growing
How would you suggest we resolve this?

get rid of ffp, only serves to keep the strong stronger with no hope of teams catching up to them desu

they don't care about sports overall, and the ones that pretend to aren't able to watch a full game without looking at the phone all the time. They're more interested in trading FIFA cards and watching fortnite streams. Sports are becoming obsolete in their eyes

you can't lose something you never had to begin with

yeah, unlike us sports demigods who stream games on one monitor while simultaneously shitposting on another

It's the fact that teams are made up of refugees that you can't relate to, nor should you
