Convinced Bayern gives these other teams a head start.

They were probably like when Leipzig and Gladbach were on top

How do I actually learn what I’m watching? Soccer has grown lightweight interesting to watch, but not having grown up with it, I’m just watching them run around, an occasional interesting block or pass and score. I know nothing of what else to look for

I started getting into ice hockey over the last few years, and how I started to better understand the game was by learning one position at a time. I would learn all about the role and responsibilities of a Defenseman, and then when I watched games I would just focus on the defenseman. Then after a few games I would move on to learning about the Centre and would follow the same plan of watching and understanding that specific position.

You can learn all of the players, strategies, formations, etc., but it’s kind of pointless if you don’t know what the role of each player is and what makes them either good or bad at their job. It really makes the game more enjoyable when you know what everybody is doing and the reasoning behind it.

I know it sounds goofy but playing football manager will really give you an insight into football tactics, player roles, etc etc

I put my nephew on it and he watches games completely different now.

You can't look your GF/wife in the eyes and command authority after having your manhood taken from you on TV like that

Best guy out there for tactical analysis for me is Michael Cox, he's now behind paywall with Athletic. And I prefer reading over watching YouTube videos with multiple pauses and cuts.




There are bunch of tactical analysis channels on YouTube but they're all You're better off spending that time watching actual matches.

Matic getting a contract extension...
He had a horrible end to last season and a bad start, but ever since he's comeback he has been clutch and it adds a depth to the sqaud as long as he's a squad player

There's talks now of Italy throwing the rest of the season in the bushes due to how many people there now have coronavirus.
