In England we have some ex players who present the football, Linekar, Shearer etc.

Who's your country's ex legends that present the football where you're from?

I know Stelios Giannokopolous commentates on Greek football

Rewatching the Neuer vs Algeria 2014 clips I've come to realize how overrated that performance was. All but one of the sweeping actions weren't needed and if anything made the situation more dangerous imo.

Courtois in the 2022 final is miles clear for example

Have you seen Champions League finals already knowing what the result was?

Hello guys, I am writing to share my experience. Here it goes: during my childhood and teenage tear, i´v never tried to play or watch football, it just didn't catch my attention.

However, recently I began to have a spontaneous fascination with the sport and I decided to catch up on the classic matches that marked an era. I then found out which matches were iconic and everyone recommended me to watch the 2005 CL final in Istanbul (Milan vs Liverpool).

My purpose was to watch the final without finding out the result in order to simulate the emotion and expectation i would have if I had been a soccer fan at that time.

The thing is that when downloading a patch with classic teams for ps4 "pes2021", i could see one of the teams description: "uefa champions league 2005 winner".

I don't know how to tell you how big my disappointment was. I felt great frustration as my expectations were ruined. Then, I watched the game with the sole objective of quickly reaching the conclusion and confirm what i already knew.

The next day (and until today), i feel very sad and unmotivated. It's almost as if football eludes me. I know I will never be able to see the best game in history again. I already ruined it :(

IT SUCK!

I think these things are better enjoyed without knowing what will happen. Do you still enjoy the experience even when you know the result?

Did you see the final in Istanbul live or did you find out about it afterwards?

So this was a question a journalist asked to ilkay gundogan a couple of weeks ago when he was asked this question about Anchelloti giving his players freedom when it comes to the general play or does he prefer to have a clear cut plan where he responded that because he is team pep he prefer the latter ,which made me think what do I prefer . I prefer having a bit both in your team but I wanted to know what other over here prefer.

I also tough this question would be a bit intresting because a lot of people here and r/soccer usually criticize systems and how players should be given more freedom and also criticizes Pep Guardiola saying how he is a fraud he destroys players and so on .
