Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[Roaden Polynice]

Honestly I'm surprised you guys watch Brooker like that.

Black Mirror is the only Brooker thing I haven't seen.

if Neymar knows whats good for him, he'll stay away from city(and Mancini)....


@Montez
exactly. At least Barca got the top 3 best players on their team. Bayern got no reason to act the way they do.

Theyve always been a$$holes. They're successful, its expected but they turned it up a notch when they bought Ribery and Luca Toni.

FFP and the Allianz got them .

i'm explaining the game of american football to a bunch of foreigners tomorrow. as an american there's so much of it i've internalized that it's hard for me to tell if i'm overlooking any fundamentals that need to be explained to a new viewer. if you watch the nfl/ncaa football, what were some things that really cracked the ice of understanding for you? like after you got this or that concept, the game started to make more sense to you?

i'm not gonna be breaking down tampa 2 or the spread option, just basic stuff to make the game intelligible

thanks brehs. yanks welcome to comment too

I tried doing that once but I failed miserably

What a fukked up sport.


Girl: "Why did they throw a flag?"

Me: "I don't fukking know "

Ref: The lineman wasn't called in and was in illegal motion, 5 yard penalty

Me: I didn't know that was a thing

No one explained it to me, when I moved here from Sierra Leone, after one or two games, just got it.

Sports is like music, just show it to them, and if they wanna get it, they'll get it. If don't, then they don't.

I agree.



So breh, Im trying this online dating thing. Its kind of cool brehs. Im meeting like 5 ladies this week. If I dont end up in a sex trafficking ring in the former Yugoslavia, I will tell you about some of the experiences.

Let them watch it, and ask questions, then you can explain it a little. No sport is hard to get.

It's really if you want to get it.

ive been watchin the NFL since I was 7-8 y/o. when I 1st started watchin it, I thought it was just another version of rugby, afterall we have both league and union over here

ideally, yeah, you're right. i just gotta account for how much time this is gonna take. we could stop and talk for 15 minutes between each play. that's why i need to at least have a top-down approach ready

Don't do that, Just tell them the essentials, and just let them watch, then answer whatever question they have.

 

[Roaden Polynice]

Good luck with that.

I think football would be one of the most challenging sports to explain honestly.

The down system, a lot of it seems arbitrary. But that's any sport I suppose. But with football there seems to be no real reason behind a lot of the rules. Why four downs? Why do you have a PAT? Why 10 yards? Why do you need 15 coaches to call one play? Why is there a 2 minute warning when there are literally clocks on everywhere on the field?

 

[mastermind]

yeah, American football is too archaic a game to understand.

The penalties will probably leave people mind blown. Also, why does the clock not stop until the final 2 minutes when the ball goes out of bounds.

The basics of the game are difficult to understand. Whereas with basketball, hockey, and sawkerball, its easier to understand the basics..

You can say the pat is a reward for scorin a td.
