>Red Star BelgradeThe normie club of serbia ,its pretty much like asking the politics of lakers fans.
There ultras are the braindead nationalists you expect from serbian ultras
>cskaNo idea about them although they hate the ultranazis zenith
>>18221Not Serbian I am from a country near it in an area we're most people support Olympiakos (a sister club)
Partizan is also relatively right wing but less cringe since the Partizan name is shared by the based Minsk team
All in all Serbs have very dumb football funs
>>21370Who knows, this season already feels kinda lost for Barcelona.
The fact is that Barcelona in 2021 is not a very good team, and they don't have money to buy new players. Gavi, Nico, Fati and Pedri are all promising players but this is gonna be a long term project, I think. Luckily, Xavi is gonna get the longest leash possible and Koeman already did a lot of the dirty work and I think he deserves some credit for incorporating some of these La Masia players in the first team squad.
I think it would be best for them just to forget about the Champions League and focus on a decent result in La Liga. Even though they have the worst team in years they should still be able to finish among the top four.
>>22709Every nation has its own league. The best are in Europe. England, Spain, Italy, Germany are some of the best and most popular leagues.
The best clubs from Europe also compete in the Champions League. The knock out phase of that tournament will begin in a few weeks, that would probably be a good place to start if you aren't familiar with the sport.
>>22721alright man, thanks
is this the year that Fifa is gonna be in Qatar? That's gonna be nuts
I heard football melts in that kind of heat
>>22741The excess, The human slavery

I just watched Ted Lasso and was inspired
>>25414fuck liverpool, those limey lippys
>>31299The fact that there are fewer goals because it's much harder to score is actually what makes it better you halfwit. Shouldn't be hard to realise why.
Just look at the explosion of passion when a goal is scored, versus the mild whoops from the crowd when the 750th basket or touchdown of the match is put away.
Football also has promotion and relegation and the possibility for very small clubs or nations to upset the big teams, which is impossible in your system of soulless franchises.
The flopping to the ground and time wasting is a menace but both are things they are actively addressing with changes to the rules and VAR, but if you think football isn't a very physical game it's likely you've never played a game of football past the age of seven.

You can go the whole 90 minutes with nothing happening god forbid.
>Football also has promotion and relegation and the possibility for very small clubs or nations to upset the big teams, which is impossible in your system of soulless franchises.Probably true. I dunno I don't follow footie or American sports enough to comment on.
>The flopping to the ground and time wasting is a menace but both are things they are actively addressing with changes to the rules and VAR, but if you think football isn't a very physical game it's likely you've never played a game of football past the age of seven.Didn't claim that. It's just the design of the game seems bad that the only way to steal the ball is borderline tripping the other guy. Similar stuff happens in Basketball, but I think there is more chance to steal without every single attempt being a foul or almost foul.
>>31303If you looked up from your phone you'd see that most tackles that bring people to the ground are not given as fouls. It's also interceptions and 50/50 headers that are more crucial for regaining possession.
There's a reason why the rulemakers were hesitant even to introduce goal line technology until the early 2010s - it's never been a sterile sport where everything is set out in stone; things like debatable refereeing decisions are what make the game unpredictable and interesting to talk about.
If you simply can't go for an hour and a half without seeing a ball go into a goal then that's fair enough, but there are many draws, games with few goals and goalless draws that are very entertaining because it's not simply an exercise of wanting to see a ball cross a line.
Again, the easier it is to score, the less interesting it is for the majority of people. I can't think of anything more dull than a sport where one team concedes a goal and then immediately goes and scores at the other end, for 90 minutes. If you want to see something that looks like football but has massive scorelines and almost no defending, try out gaelic football.
>>32063I knew it
Anyway Internazionale Milano is quite likely to advance to the CL final which I see as a win for leftists
