Football back then was so intense
>>154681920kek
>>154681920I dont know about EPLel but brazilian league was peak footie back in the days.Sure the players werent full pressing like they are now, but the technicality was off the charts
>>154682104Yep
Players in the 70's spent all night drinking and smoking in the pub
>>154681920"players" these days would refuse to even step on a pitch like that, like the spoilt sissies they are
>>154683374Vira-lata it's the opposite of what I'm doing, stupid retarded chikaner.
>>154682104>>154682204Wow sounds interesting, guess we'll just have to take your word for it?

>>154685670Yes thank you for those pixels. I'm guessing in 1973 about 5 people owned a tv in Brazil. I kid of course but what's interesting about these ancient videos of the beautiful game is that they show that all things considered it really hasn't changed that much.

What year is this.
>>154681920Soul..
>>154681920>the offside to end all offsides
>>154681920don't know if it was common, but bypassing the whole squad with one long ball is brilliant, shame his teammate fucked up an easy goal like that.
>EPLels táctica
>>154681920The rare hoof it up to yourself tactic.
>>154681920I mean look at the state of that pitch, today's players would look worse playing on that too
>>154685670Why was defending so godawful back then?I’ve played semipro as RB and I feel like I’d have been a top defender in Brazil in 1973 lmao. There’s literally 0 urgency or pressure. Surely the players were more fit than a lazy smoker that browses Mongolian basket weaving boards…right?
>>154703132People always say this about oldschool footage, I think it's a knee jerk reaction to some odd goals that probably wouldn't happen today and generalize the whole era as being poor defensively.

>>154703132You're not currently incarcerated so you're not violent enough
>>154681920The state of some of the pitches you'd just have to pray the ball would do what you wanted sometimes.
>>154706335I mean skimming through those old clips, I just see lazy defending (by modern standards). I get that there’s a bias to archiving clips of goals, but with those Brazilian highlights, I see no urgency. At least in >>154681920 they’re hustling while playing on a horrible field which makes everything harder.>>154720245Makes sense, defenders that hustled in Brazil back then probably got murdered in their favelas for not allowing jogobonito.
>>154681920Nice match fixing by both sides
>>154681920What the fuck?I had no idea they were still playing rugby tier football by the time of coloured TV. Is this a normal tactic back then?
Anyone have that Newcastle murderball weebum? Always lose my shit
>>154731135good tackle and goal. in 2026 the spurs player would be a JF who would fall to the ground clutching his calf and more than likely win a free-kick.
>>154720273Modern top league football gets played on pretty much carpets tbf. ball was also heavier back then. Boots were heavier and most players didn't wear shin pads.
>>154731202>even then the arsehole team was full of blacks
>>154731129No which is why this clip has been replayed constantly ever since
>>154731217They've usually done well when they've got English blacks in their team.
>>154731135Every modern goalkeeper is saving that
