We don't have to choose between watching Wimbledon and the FIFA World Cup or UEFA Euro like it's been always the case.

We are so blessed and lucky. :D

I'd say we deserve it after such an asterisked tennis season. Enjoy everyone.

Football has become so fake, I've stopped watching. Nothing disconnects me more from life than watching grown men act wounded to ensure their opponents get reprimanded. This is a good season for reading books, drinking wine in front of the fireplace, invite for dinners etc. Women's football/ handball players are a lot tougher than the best paid men on earth, rolling around like spoiled children on the grass. Very unbecoming.

Slay bestie :D
 
Football once used to be almost as important for me as tennis, and the World Cup was the biggest event in football without any question. Both objectively seen and for myself. I'm still totally into World Cup history and have watched tons of old full match and highlight videos, just like with past tennis matches. But the present times are just a shadow of what it once was.

And it's not only the Qatar nonsense this year, it started way earlier. Back then football between countries and especially continents was a clash of styles. Nowadays all top teams have the same style, because all teams' top players are playing in Europe's top leagues anyway (or they just have no chance). For example, there are only 3 of 26 players from the once great Brazilian league in the once great Brazilian national team these days.

Even European club competitions were a nice clash of styles back then, because most players stayed in the league of their country. Nowadays even many players in "national" teams are not native citizens of their countries anymore. The team compilation looks more and more random, in clubs AND "national" teams.

Only one thing is nice: Football generally got more offensive and risky again these days. We see kind of most goals on top level in past 50 years right now.
 
How long does salt overload take to recover from? Salty posters can recover while watching the World Cup and muttering how WTF is worth a slam, etc.
 
Pep's City vs Fergie's United??? Pep's City is superior statistically, faced stronger competition (i.e. Klopp's Liverpool) and has the higher peak. Football has also evolved during the past couple of decades.
