No one gives a about a sport where the biggest tournaments are decided by gimmick penalty shootout bull
Soccer at the highest level is going the Today's NBA route. Defenses can't just keep up anymore with the modern offensive pressuring schemes..
This is knockout stage of the most prestigious and toughest soccer club compe ions in the world. A minuimm of 3 goals scored in each tie but look at those scores..
The Sport is evolving fellas. A matter of time it will make 'Muricans discard that standstill game called Beisbol..

"Goals, goals everywhere"
Its mostly because we're seeing more and more talent around the world. Its pretty darn obvioius now that if you can get a combination of great players upfront you basically choke the opposition and leave them with no choice but to play open.Soccer at the highest level is going the Today's NBA route.

Also strategy has evolved so much man.
I doubt the World cup would come up with similar offensive quality. Except for Neymar, the other top 5 players in Messi, Ronaldo and Salah either have disfunctional organozations or poor talent.
Crazy how football has been the most popular but its still growing as a sports.
Agreed with all of the above, bro..
Also, looks like American owners are taking over this
Maybe that's because you're a fat basement dweller spending your day making easy bets on your Warriors
Strategy:
1. Jog around
2. Don't trip over the ball
3. Kick the ball
4. Don't score
5. Repeat
Wow... I'm impressed.
Can you imagine Marcelo going up high and defending salah at the same time
Or freaking lovern having tk force cover Ronaldo or Isco
The finals will be exciting if its Salah vs Ronaldo.
If itd Liverpool and Bayern, i can assure you its gonna be 1-0..something very tight amd slow.
GOAT sport
The Beahtiful Game

The above is per game, not per team.
Bundesliga: 2.73
EPL: 2.72
League 1: 2.68
Serie A: 2.64
La Liga, Primera Division: 2.63
That translates into an average score of about 1.35 goals scored per team.
"It's evolving offensively." Trace the history of Divekick, and that's never been the case. It's first and foremost a defensive game. Here's a 4 year old article from Fivethirtyeight talking about the prevalence of ties in the sport and examining soccer's scoring "problem."
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...nil-nil-draws/
The EPL goals-per-game was around 2.6ish. And has been around that level for nearly 40 years. The other top leagues average a similar amount of goals. The only thing that can spur an "offensive revolution" would be rule changes, which was responsible for the NBA's offensive uptick. Soccer has been played for a long time. Coaches have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't (if they didn't, soccer wouldn't have the worst parity on the planet). I know soccer fans love to play up the "tactical diversity" of their sport, trying to sell it as a game that can never settle into predictability, but that's bull . Soccer is one of a thousand goal sports out there and thus, there's no tactical "secret lore" teams can suddenly employ to change the complexion of the sport.
From the article:
Indeed. I understand the sport's appeal, though. It's all about the build up to that single, game changing goal and the holding your breath during the attacks that lead to those near missed equalizers. But other sports have that dynamic, as well (maybe not basketball, since no one score shifts the balance of the game until the closing moments), along with being more dramatically interesting in terms of collapses, comebacks, counterpunching, and leads-from-a-deficit, and no Mario Party minigames deciding anything.In 85,694 games — dangerously close to half the total — at least one of the teams forgot to score at all. That led Curley to an answer for one of his questions: “Soccer is a bit dull,” he told me.
And
It's probably the least imaginative designed goal sport out there (n/m, it's probably handball, then soccer). I admit individual goals can be "dynamic," and unfold in a variety of ways, but soccer is basic as otherwise. And for the soccer cultists who constantly play up the tactical elements of the game like it's literal chess on a field somehow fail to realize there's 10 million sports out there with the exact same design. 5 vs 5, 11 vs. 11, 15 vs 15 players facing off trying to put a ball into some type of goal. And many of those goal sports are more interesting since they employ goals with different points values (basketball, Gaelic, Hurling, Aussie Rules) or played on unnatural surfaces (ice hockey, bandy, water polo). Those features actually make the aforementioned sports more "tactically complex."
I actually don't hate the sport. I just see as it one of many, with some big flaws (shootouts, predictable scoring lines, stupid penalty system).
So only half the games end up 0-0 now?
@op son you're preaching to a group of overweight redneck farmers who just got swept by pussystate and will see kwawi go to the Lakers tbh
