  • My unpopular opinion: soccer coaching is the most overrated aspect of all professional sports. Especially a national team coach. It just doesn't matter that much.

      My gut feeling is that you're mostly correct. I base this on the number of former players who succeed immediately even at the highest levels. You don't see that in any other sport in the same kind of numbers. I do think guys off the Cruyff coaching tree are exceptional though.

      • So, if chanting anti-gay things is enough to end a match, what’s to stop fans from a team with the lead from chanting and ending the game instead of risking a late-tying goal?

          That’s not how it works.

          Mexico has been doing this for years. They have gotten fines, threats, and have been forced to play without fans. Mexican futbol federation runs ads on Mexican tv begging people to stop. And they keep doing it.

            Like DeSantis, they refuse to be silenced by the woke mob.

              I'm not convinced that your concerns are rooted in late game crowd strategy as much as they are in the legitimacy of the group being targeted by the chants. Color me skeptical.
