The sub popped up in my feed a few months ago and all I really see here is people complaining (mainly about City, Newcastle, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and refs) and posting about conspiracies and conspiracy theories.

There’s very little in the way of moderate football discussion, and it feels like a circlejerk at times.

Has it always been this way? R/soccer has had its own challenges for a long time, but even there the proportion of interesting content tends to be higher.

I enjoy participating in subs like r/championship and r/theother14

    Tbf even the big media organizations dedicated to talking about football for entertainment are equally bad.

    I miss the days of talkSport where Peterborough and Northampton Town fans would call in moaning or talking up their side or moaning about how bad their lower league footy was that day. Since moving to the states I get way better epl coverage but also miss the soccer Saturday where I’d see updates from “rubbish” teams bc they still mattered.

    But overall, idk the last time I heard anyone have an intelligent convo about footy. Sometimes there’s good analysis, but it’s something objective.
