Who here watches Football(Soccer)?

[jinjerJOSH22]

I'm a Liverpool F.C fan
What a season we're having, unbeaten in the league after 13 games, winning all but one.
Interested to see who else watches and what team you support?

and remember RESPECT.

Hahaha.

Ajax Amsterdam here.

But I love Liverpool for making Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum great players. Both have become great guys (as player and as humans).
Especially Georginio, in the absence of Virgil, has shown to be a great leader / captain in the racism-debate we (and the rest of the world) are facing. Indeed RESPECT (for that and for one another)

That was a beautiful moment, class from the pair.
It must be exciting to be Dutch going into the Euros next year? what a team.

Haha love Hendo. Finally getting the recognition he deserves. 6 more wins not too hard. Just gotta stay sharp after that. Love how our second team is making a run at the fa cup I think it's hilarious. Can't wait to play Atletico Madrid in a couple weeks here though.

Have Liverpool fans been talking about going undefeated? Or is it bad luck to speak of it? Arsenal won 26 games that invincible season. You guys have 24 already, in 25 games. It's ridiculous.

I’m on the subreddit (that’s about the most exposure I can get here in the states) and it’s mixed. Too many times they’ve seen Liverpool at the top of the leaderboards winning the premier league and falling short. They’re excited and confident but don’t want to get too far ahead of themselves. Personally I’m superstitious with sports so I generally don’t risk it. That pretty much keeps me from getting into it. I don’t have the same experiences they do since I’m a more recent supporter. It can be very hard to get games here.

I hear ya. It's all online interaction for me too. Don't know anyone who follows the game like me.

Very hard to catch a game live. I'm on the west coast, so games start between 4 and 7AM. I keep up with the league with Match of The Day.

I hear there are bars around sometimes. Probably hard depending on the team though they’re usually focused on one.

Oof yeah that’s really hard. That’s what kept me out of it originally. I’m not a morning person in the slightest. Fortunately so far this season Liverpool games have mostly been late morning early afternoon. Not too many 6am games. If I miss one I watch the highlights back at least. Sometimes it’s not even on tv so I have to use some sketchy third party stream instead of paying $30/month to watch everything. Very annoying. Wish it was more popular here.

Going invincible is whatever, if it happens it happens, winning the league is the priority.
Remember we only lost one Prem game last season.
The turning point for pure belief rather than hope was the United game, beating them felt somewhat symbolic even if they are fighting to stay in the league

I don't like Liverpool. Nothing personal, I don't like any of the Top 6. We robbed you guys of 30 million pounds for Big Andy Carroll. Who's now back with us, not scoring goals as usual.

My old high school English teacher is ironically English and a massive Man U fan. It hurts him to see the state they’re in now. And it hurts him even more to have to factually recognize how absurdly good Liverpool is right now. Went back as an alumnI a month ago and it was very fun to watch him struggle with his hatred of Liverpool but respect for Klopp and the team with all they’ve accomplished so far.

It's frustrating here in the UK, since Saturday 3pm kickoffs aren't televised, infact the last two matches haven't been because of the league cup

I respect Newcastle, there's usually a understanding between fans, fantastic stadiums, historic clubs.

I have to sort of support Newcastle as my son in law is from around there, but I just have to say Boxing Day 2018 was a good day at Anfield for me, it was a bit quiet in the car going home that day hehe

Don't get me started on Bale it's ridiculous

Man City for me. Not a good season for my team. "Pool will take the title easily.
I subscribe to DAZN which is very reasonable amd good stream and carries the major sports. The only carrier of Prem matches in Canada.
I've wanted to kidnap Virgil for City for years. Guy is a beast.

I've always loved watching the Dutch national team play. They're what got me into soccer. I only watched international games for a long time. Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie were so much fun to watch. Fell in love with the 2010 World Cup squad and just kept watching and rooting for the Dutch since then. At the end of the last NFL season I decided I needed another sport to watch because the offseason of nothing was just brutal. So I moved right on over to looking at the rest of the world's football. Watched all of the Dutch Nations league games in 2019 and couldn't get enough of him. Started researching Liverpool the city, club and it's history and that settled it. Historic club, extremely dedicated and passionate fanbase, history of success, and a home field that has a phenomenal atmosphere and makes it very difficult for visiting teams to play there. A lot of parallels to my Green Bay Packers, I wanted that same feel. Had no idea they just barely lost the Premier league and completely forgot they won the Champions League. No clue how I managed to forget that, my brother is a Tottenham fan he was livid. My memory is just garbage.

[jinjerJOSH22]

The FA Cup should do away with replays.

The biggest argument I see is how much lower league teams make from them, imo, the team drawn out the hat first should be able to choose home or away. If the lower team wants it they can choose to play at the prem ground.

Right. Maybe have the lower league clubs always get the home game. And somehow force the Prem teams to actually care about the cup before the final.

As is your choice of club. Lol.
We aren't as tribal in north america as they are in England, and that's a good thing.
My first trip to Manchester to see matches opened my eyes. First match was the home derby v manu re. Intense. We won and spent the night in a City pub which was manic. Good times.
Watched City beat Liverpool, then lose the away match to Villa. Saw a cup match. A few more trips to Manchester and saw us win the match v QPR. What a see-saw of emotion that was.
Can't get over there enough.
The curry in Manchester will blow your mind.

As long as Liverpool players do well and come back injury free.

You haven't been busy then over the years . Jooooking.

Dutchy Rob Rensenbrink who played for Amderlecht for years recently died.
A great player. Famous / notorious for his ball against the pole in the last minute of the final in 1978 against Argentina.

Yes well....we have Herman Van Holsbeeck and Roger Vandenstock to hold accountable for the frankly lamentable state our club is in currently....those two and a rogue agent, MogI Bayat, pretty much cleared the bank account. Now that Marc Coucke is the owner things are slowly turning around, granted not as quickly as some might wish but considering the club was bankrupt up until 6 months ago, things will take time to restabilise. Vincent Kompany is doing his best but he is only human and I seriously doubt he realised just how bad things were financially for the club when he came over last summer.

Robbie was an awesome player, much repected by everyone and a very sad loss to his family, clubmates and all who knew him
