>>7886 I don’t but my friend does and the only names I remember from him are Beckham/ Ronaldino.
How much of their success is due to their looks vs actual skill? I’m pretty sure there are other soccer players that are more skilled but get half the attention because they don’t have faces like them

>>7889 Woops i meant christiano ronaldo. I think he mentioned ronaldino so I’m guess that dude has actual skills

>>7889 Ronaldino was ugly as fuck (and he was refused by many teams because of it) but probably was the most purley technically skilled player there is. Beckham was good too, paradoxically his success because of his looks made him mediocre.
Cristiano ronaldo was good as fuck too and looked like shit. Probably it's true that many players (more nowdays tho) got ignored because they weren't marketable enough. Sadly there's a lot of money involved in this sport that ruins everything.

I enjoy watching it if I am at a stadium or a busy pub. I cannot stand it when sat at home nor do I follow it.

>>7886 I watch it from time to time. International leagues are fun. Domestic football is fucking boring though, completely dominated by big monopolist donors that control multiple regional teams at once. The recent event is a fucking joke where 10 teams are under the same backer.

>>7889 Tf? Bro, football fans couldn't give less of a shit whether or not the people they stan are goodlooking or not. Ronaldinho was and is ugly af, but people loved him for how amazing he was and obviously they still do cause he has become an idol by now.

>What team do you support? Juventus which is literally a old money old school porky run club and if you think about it too hard it is hard to justify, but old school school italian communist party bosses were also fans of juventus, even when they ordered strike against the agnelli family´s factories and if they could live with that contradiction so can i,

I was never into football but I like to pretend to support Barça when it plays against Madrid to piss people off.

Do you niggas think anyone else will win the Champions League, Copa Libertadores, and World Cup again, or will Ronaldinho go down as the only footballer in history to achieve this?

I don't give a shit about it unless my country is on the World Cup's semi-finals or something. It's a big part of the modern bread and circus apparatus, and during stupid twitter debates, I've noticed a lot of football fans tend to defend the status quo for some reason, they lazily regurgitate basic porky propaganda. That said, I recognize Zidane and Pelé were incredibly skilled players, and there is a pretty interesting strategic component to football too. I also love the band The Fall, and the singer Mark E. Smith was a huge footy fan (supported Manchester City), and he made me realize there wasn't so much money poured into football 50 years ago. I think it was much more genuinely working-class back then.

I always wanted to play as a kid, but I was really shit at it and all the kids on the teams I was playing with/against had all been playing since they were fucking 3 years old. I had no chance of catching up, so I just quit and did cross country instead, which I was actually good at.
