Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

This ESPN + broadcast is so poor.

Copa America’s production value is always so disappointing. Low camera, limited views and poor angles.

Yeah, it’s pretty disappointing for an ESPN broadcast

And Brasil is going to get me banned

 

[Yayo Toure]

If we lose to Bolivia I’ll ban myself until August :gabrieljesus:

What about a draw

What about a draw

If we don’t beat Bolivia y’all won’t see me again until Atleti’s first game of the season

Why don't they show replays while the ref is checking VAR?

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Thank you VAR :filipeluis:

legit handball

but the dive by Firmino right after. horrid.

I think the broadcasting is done by one “broadcaster” , that being a Brazilian one or possibly even the CBF and all the media companies buy that same one. It’s Sao Paulo’s stadium and the camera angle was never great at the Morumbi Stadium. Tbh this will probably be a problem at every stadium as Brazil is so behind in everything, especially when it comes to entertainment value.

Not to derail the thread, but why is that the case for Brazil and technology? It’s not like Brazil is a poor country or not exposed to the outside world.

Neres is quality

Very skilled, Neres, but he needs to let the ball go sometimes. Holds on far too long.

You never miss an opportunity

Brazil have no shape and there’s very little movement on their part. Team chemistry is definitely not there.

I would love to see a Brazil vs Argentina final.

Everton Soares

The CBF is still a bit behind still on the masterclass the EPL have given the world regarding camera work, film making, near soap opera like match day fixture preparation

 

[phcitywarrior]

Brazil’s midfield lacks someone that can really control the tempo and act as a conduit between attack and defense.

I think Fabinho would have been far better than Fernandinho. Casemiro is enough cover for the CBs.

 

[phcitywarrior]

Gonna be a great tourney

I was watching France Norway and realized the OG GOAT Female Ref Bibiana Steinhaus was reffing. Googled her and found out she's been booed up with Howard fukking Webb for years!!
I always forget referees have personal lives , I think Bibi is the better ref too
