What the hell were these two defences, last night? Litterally amateur levelFootball is turning into basket 2.0: and all because thirdies and burgers think its boring if there isnt a goal every 5 or so minuteOnly Simeone (lol) or Arteta (LMAO) can save traditional football this year. Fucking grimm
When will italy be at a World cup again
>>154427978nothing to do with lacking defensive quality this is just the result of two coaches, with world class attacking players at their disposal, prioritising attack over defence
PSG should have won by 3 clear goals. Never seen anything like that. Really entertaining. Just fucking go for it like, init? What’s the problem?
>>154427987When we will RETVRN to Catenaccio instead of trying to LARP the current mainstream style
>>154428046Its only cool when It happened rarely. Soon all the games will be like 5-4 and thus it will became boring
>>154428053no they won’t you mongofootball has been going in exactly the opposite direction ever since Pep
Problem is, past a certain point those goals don't mean anything and it all feels a bit contrived
>>154428086Football its cyclical:>60s were dominated by teams copying Inter's Catenaccio >70s were dominated by Ajax/Buyern Total offensive football>80s returned defensive until Sacchi (the original Guardiola)>Late 90s/mid 00s were again defensive with Mourinho as the posterboy coach >Then Guardiola/Spain ressurected offensive football with their Tiki Take>Zidane then brought back a more grounded football>Now UEFA keeps changing the rules to punish defensive football and reward offensive football to cather to customers
I found the game very shallow and pedantic
>>154428139>Now UEFA keeps changing the rules to punish defensive football and reward offensive football to cather to customersqrd?
>>154428160>Removing away goal >Making offside rule harder to activate>Pushing for as many penalties as possible
All the rule changes were made to exactly get that... more goals. Were you living under a rock?
>>154428139Why did you leave out the 40 year era of forcing offsides by running away from the ball, and flopping nonstop to get free kicks?
>>154428155it insisted upon itself
>flopping
>>154427978Who fucking cares about the defence. We wanna see fast back and forth quality attacking footy. PSG and Bayern are the two best attacking front line teams in the world so goals were inevitable
we MUST support arsenal or atletico in the CL final to save football
>>154428439Genuinely, consider watching Basketball, Handball or Hockey.
>>154428315I know, sadly. Football is getting americanized
I'm to smart too have enjoyed that game last night.
>>154428199none of this is true
>>154427978Traditional football looks like geriatrics trying to not break their hips or have a big fall.
>>154428199Goals were going up since the 90s. Defenders were more akin to statues back then. With the introduction of VAR goals have been going down.
you can find matches with similar quality week in week out in PL btw
>>154429236lmao
>>154428824>Its not true if i dont like it
>>154428160>>154428199More like the fact you can't put a tackle in without a free kick being given. This used to be a contact sport for men.
>Get so used to haramball that one game of total football buckbreaks your mindgrim
>>154427978The average number of goals is fairly consistent everywhere. If anything, it has decreased in the Premier League for example, I believeI don’t want to see 10 goals every game, but part of the thrill of football is that some games can end with zero goals and others end with nine, like yesterday. You never know what you’re gonna get, and each goal might be the deciding one. I don’t see anything endangering that important column of the game’s identity, except Wenger‘s dumbass offside rule proposal maybe. Yesterday was a high-class game and very entertaining, these are the best two teams in the world. If you are mad about one specific game like this, it’s a skill issue
>>154427978>two aggressive teams with defending lines high as a kite>world class players>people act baffled and incredulous over the final score
>>154427978You ARE a thirdie
>>154427978this was an embarrassing gameit alone makes me think that atleti may unironically have a shot at winning the whole thing if they beat arsenal because their GK is actually decent, arsenal would get rolled over against any of these 2 though but they can beat atleti easily as wellshit game but interesting semis situation
only came to see what coping third world euroshithole flag made this post and I was not surprised
>>154430659>oblACK better than RayaAnon, I…
>>154430979not oblak, mussohe was excellent against barcelona and they play the same type of retarded offensive football as bayern/psg
>>154427978nigga did you really except a 1-0 game when you have players like Kane, Olise, Dembélé, and Kvara on the pitch ?
>>154427978actually the xG was lower than the goals, it was just pathetic goalkeeping performances
here a chart I made
>>154431614Diaz was the best player on the pitch though
>>154428048The original terrorists.
>>154431806that was kvara. diaz is a geriatric marquinhos babby
>>154427978Why are Italians so obsessed with defending in football while being so shit at it in war?
>>154427978i'd rather watch kamikaze attacks for 90 minutes than muh tiki taka and boring possession footy
here's your beautiful game bro
>>154428548Will we have half time shows?
>>154428026>>154429871>nothing to do with lacking defensive quality>Yesterday was a high-class gameLMAO did you strart folloqing football 2 years ago?>>154428199this>>154428439>>154429189brown>>154431614there would have been max 3 goals total with proper defenderspsg-bayern highlighted once for all how modern football is, athleticism and offense only.22 niggers running up and down the pitch, defenders dont defend and midfielders let everything go thru.this causes fast and high scoring games that are entertaining for people who know nothing about football, but the truth is that quality has decreased at least since 10 years ago, know they only care about how fast and how long a player can run, why do you think there are so many blacks nowadays?this change in how they game is played to appeal to thirdies and burgers + VAR ruined the beautiful game
bro drew a graph on ms.paint based on no data whatsoever
>>154428199>Removing away goalThat was to benefit the bigger, richer teams as it essentially gives them an extra chance to progress in a tournament. Likewise the expansion of the Champions League group stage to eight games rather than six, as they're clearly more likely to get the requisite 'average' points over a greater number of games.
>>154427978Arsenal (p)Atletico (p)
>>154442697Which is incredibly based
