##Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

###✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.
  • if you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team crest here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

###❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Comments about an ongoing game better suited for the Match Thread.
  • Shitposting, brigading or excessive meta discussion.
  • Any other kind of toxic or unreasonable behaviour.

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban persistent offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.


###⚽ Can't find a Match Thread?

  • If you are using Old Reddit click this link.
  • If you are using New Reddit you need to try this other one.
  • If you are using the official app press here and sort by "new".
  • If you' areusing a third-party app... ¯\(ツ)

If there's no Match Thread for the match you're watching you can:

  • Create one yourself.
  • Ask /u/MatchThreadder for one. You just need to send a PM to him with the subject "Match Thread" and the body "Team A vs Team B" (for example, "Inter Milan vs. Udinese") to get one from this great bot 🤖

It always devolves into the same kind of discussion and arguments (not related to football). I'm happy the mods are doing it, if people want to discuss these things there are plenty of other places to do so.

Oh, I didn't see that update, thank you. Still, that makes it over double the price in one season.

Just learned there’s an Arsenal equivalent of MikeLUHG

Sure Cyprus were never world beaters but I've never seen them so bad. They were one of those teams who could shithouse their way to some goal or points, ruin betting handicaps, showing their teeth even when losing... Now they are consistently conceding a ton.

Colombia play like shit

Spain play like shit

No puedo con esto tio, no es justo Josep.... Estados Unidos tampoco juega a nada, y bueno.....

Rico Lewis deserves a senior call-up

I might just be bad at Googling but I’ve looked for like 10 minutes now and can’t find out wtf a Golden Boy wild card is. Can anyone enlighten me?

None of the 4 Nations League Finalists of 2023 are top of their EURO Qualifying groups

Phillips needs more game time. We aren’t blessed with loads of defensive midfielders which is why he’s there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The entirety of European football is engaged in a conspiracy to keep Scott McTominay from being the best midfielder in the history of football. And /r/soccer is on it. We still haven't got a replay of his disallowed goal in /new.

Get your popcorn out for the Spain - Scotland post match thread

The Israel/Palestine topic being banned is great. Those threads are pointless and impossible to moderate

Didn’t expect Uruguay to field with so many Liga MX and MLS players.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

reading that post match thread for the spain scotland game is something alright...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I dont expect messi to have any respect for a team that didn't exist 3-ish years ago; but where did his career-ending injury go?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Attackers blocking the gk at set pieces have cost so many goals lately with fouls and offsides. Wonder if teams will stop using this strategy. You can’t mark the gk like he’s an outfield player. These refs are looking for the tiniest foul or impediment on the gk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I stumbled on a newsletter from 2009 (I can’t find it anymore) where they rated the top 100 greatest goalkeepers of all time, and Buffon was ranked 2nd behind Yashin. He was only 31 years old at the time.

I found that very interesting, because from all the revisionism you read, you’d think he was a longevity merchant and his peak was nothing special.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

How about you send us another €70m and we'll send over Origi next season? Seems fair to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can't do anything but laugh about the Tonali news. If it ends up being true, what a heist honestly!

Furlani masterclass amirite?

Who do you fancy winning golden boy? Don't know half of the names there ffs, do João Neves or António Silva have a shot?

Even NFL doesn’t allow it lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Georgia 8 - 0 Thailand. Embarrassing.

The result of corruption and political struggle in Thai FA. Now our "golden generation" got to be a punching bag in the international stage.

Our best players can't get called up because the big club owners don't want them to play in "friendly" games, and the FA obey them like a little dog. We started a U-23 attacker who hasn't had a lick of senior game in TWO YEARS.

Kudos to Georgia and *uck the Thai FA.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

not that I have great insights, but georgia seems to have one of their best national teams ever currently. as a German I know about the many "vilis" conquering our league a while ago, but I don't think they were as good as current georgia.

Iashvili, Kobiashvili, Tskitishvili, Arveladze and probably more I don't remember.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Tbf I don't think anyone can know what Tonali did. Just unfortunate transfer if it's ended up being true

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Stonks

Didn't the stock go up, too? But then fell again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There’s an official article where Messi admits that winning the ballon dor is of no more importance to him again so I don’t think fifa would consider him as a candidate this year…I guess It’s Haaland’s year 🎉

Article about Stourbridge FC on the Beeb today, hoping Jude Bellingham turns up at their match on Saturday. Probably not going to happen but would be mint if he does, particularly when he reports back to Real that they need to sign that Dinanga guy for £50mil

Sheesh Armenia. Against 10 men that’s sad

Pumped to get a 2-1 loss vs the Faroe Islands today.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I can't wait to lose to a McTominay hat-trick on the national day 😍

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We're still swimming in that Tonali money. Gonna sign 10 more players in January just to make sure we spent all of it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The money Rangers have spent in recent years on players that are constantly injured is genuinely horrific.

Kemar Roofe has played the equivalent of 50 full games for us in 3.5 years. If he's on £25k a week & we paid £4.5m for him, by the time his contract runs out this summer we will have spent £9.7m on him. That works out to £194,000 a full game, without accounting for any agent fees.

Tom Lawrence has barely kicked a ball for us in 15 months at the club, Yilmaz has played like 13 full games in the same time....I don't even want to add it up.

Toney at CF, Tonali and Paqueta at CM, Gambling FC is starting to look really good.

How hard is it to just not bet as an athlete. You already have money

Most football players will be on high level performance things by the time theyre 18. They'd have had it drilled into them NOT to gamble. Also, the issue is not just gambling, but gambling on football specifically.

Its still really really stupid for active players to gamble on their own sport and games.

Serbia is not leaving the fourteenth district of our capital with points.

Ajvar is still better than erős pista though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I agree with you. It would be really surprising to me if we even draw with you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Why are all comments removed in threads like the one about the Premier Leagues statement on Gaza and Israel? All the comments had high upvotes I’m assuming they weren’t hateful
