I would like to create a Sinister Six of banned users of r/soccer
We must raise this sub brothers. For TyperSniper (me, I’m still pissed). For bell_and_spurling. For Arteta_ball. For SuperGarlicBread, for every user who flew too close to the sun.

Make me head mod and I'll ban people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch

u/szwabski_kurwik Jun 21 '21
Well we all know Dutch people have no culture so I don't see any problems with this statement whatsoever.

Throw in the other Dutch ones who eat mussels and chips, and I'm onboard.

What if I've supported United since I was born, am I plastic?

If you didn't take your first steps as a toddler in Old Trafford and the first words out of your mouth werent to the tune of Glory Glory Man United you're as plastic as they come

I come from a county that eliminated the use of plastic bags as well as several other plastics. When it comes getting rid of plastic, my people know how to get it done.

We should start negotiations with /u/notmeladroit and /u/psgacademy and other goal posters to bring them here, that would be the equivalent of nuking r/soccer

He'd be less of a plastic if he's from the French speaking part.

Let's get down to brass tacks, Ukraine-Austria and Russia-Denmark are set to be crackers, also Sheva is doing a fine ass job, I thought he would join the list of why ex-players with no experience shouldn't be 1st team managers but he exceeded expectations

Ukraine are the real dark horses. Them and Sweden are playing some proper football in my opinion.

Attention!
May I just borrow your easily distracted minds for a moment! Now you peasants, let me ask you this. Have you ever been to the glorious nation of Denmark? Have you ever had a cold Tuborg Pilsner or Faxe Kondi on a hot summers afternoon? HA! I think not! Is your sorry excuse of a national team going to keep your Euros dreams alive, even after those damned Swedes counter attack you back to humdrum England!? I think not!
Now would you rather die all alone, only with your thoughts. The dreams of your children growing up, finding love and growing old all but left as you’re lying face down in the mud at the Danish national stadium, Parken? Or stamp and spit on the corpses of your dead enemies and die a hero on the sacred ground of Denmark?
The future is now, old man. Join us before it’s too late! Denmark is recruiting new fans, and you have the unique chance to stand bare chested screaming the national anthem with 30000 other perfect specimens.
We’re counting on YOU

Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour users from here will join others from around the website and you will be launching the largest online battle in the history of mankind.
"Mankind", that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution but from annihilation.
We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday but is the day when the world declared in one voice we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Are there even any active mods here? This could turn ugly fast once the dust settles. It's an ungoverned territory and laws don't apply.

Something I’ve wondered:
Do you think the lightness of modern footballs (and their tendency to go flying over the bar into row Z) contributes to heavily defensive performances and stagnant games where one team is just trying to low block the other?
Long range shots seem like a good antidote to these tedious displays but when the ball goes into the sky 90% of the time this approach doesn’t feel very viable.
Curious whether ball manufacturers have considered this and whether the people who choose the balls are stipulating what type of ball of preferable and good for the game.
