Soccer

I (F22) and my boyfriend (M26) have been dating for a year and a half now. We quarantined together and are now in the process of moving in together.

This week our city loosened up social distancing guidelines, so my boyfriend wanted to go play a game of pickup soccer with about five of his friends. They said they were all bringing their girlfriends so my bf asked me to come and I said sure.

Now the thing is that I'm actually pretty good at soccer. My first boyfriend ever was actually in a very good European club's academy, and then I dated an MLS player for three years. Obviously they weren't just straight teaching me how to play, but I helped them practice and train and I picked up a lot from them. I also played high school soccer and then club soccer in college.

When we got to the park my boyfriend said we should play boys against girls so we did.

We actually ended up tying. However my boyfriend played really really badly. At one point he took a penalty that I saved, I blocked se

The US Womens soccer team have had their class action lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, relating to equal pay compared to the Mens team, dismissed by a Federal Judge. In a summary judgement, the judge said -

>It is undisputed that, during the class period, the WNT played 111 total games and made $24.5 million overall, averaging $220,747 per game. By contrast, the MNT played 87 total games and made $18.5 million overall, averaging $212,639 per game. Based on this evidence, it appears that the WNT did not make more money than the MNT solely because they played more games. Rather, the WNT both played more games and made more money than the MNT per game."

ie, in his view the Womens players were actually paid more on a per game basis than the Men.

The 4 highest paid womens players (who filed the suit) were also found to have made more than the 4 highest paid mens players -

>The Defendant's expert also opines that the average per-game compensation received by the four cla

We'll come back to this post in September to see which ones we got right and which one's we got wrong

#I'll start:

1. Thiago Silva to Everton

2. Cavani to Napoli

3. Gareth Bale to China

4. Aouar to Man City

5. Ryan Fraser to West Ham

I can't understand how football fans in USA accept the fact that they use the name for the wrong name and accept that made up thing. I watched maybe 2 games of American football in my life, if I say a foot hit the ball 20 times in them I'm exagereting

Other than that I'm happy I found the sub, good week to you all

Don’t engage, and work. Build. Produce.

¿Who the fuck cares if a bunch of social media idiots want to make of the left, The Left©? It is not, and it won’t be.

There were material reasons behind the upsurge of Bernie Sanders campaign, and for the Trump win four years ago. They haven’t disappeared. They have, probably, intensified. The crisis hasn’t been resolved, and leftists need to start acting on it.

Go to a poor neighbourhood, and offer the services the bourgeoisie state and society can’t, and the people need. Work with and for the children, offer classes on any stupid shit you know. American Football, soccer, rugby, literature or math. Or, if you can teach something more useful, do that.

Organize those people around their shared needs.

Two examples of successful organizations born out of that kind of action, from Argentina, cause that is where I am from.

La Poderosa is an organization that consists on a series of “Assemblies”, what you wo

Since I could walk, I always wanted to be involved in the football (soccer) industry. Fortunately, I noticed early on that my brains were faster than my feet.

I dropped out of university to found SciSports, a company that helps professional football organizations in utilizing data intelligence to recruit the right players and analyze their opponents. I also founded BallJames, a company that is providing 3D data from camera footage to generate new insights from (live) sports matches. I am a stats geek and football nerd that has the ultimate goal to enrich the football industry.

Over the last few years, I worked closely with the Belgium national team during the World Cup 2018, collaborated with Ajax during their Champions League semi-final year in 2019 and helped Memphis Depay to make the first laptop transfer in football history. Over the last seven years, I had the privilege to work with over 100 football industry experts

So some of us now have more free-time than we know what to do with, so I thought it would be funny to try out the FM20 demo, even though I know absolutely nothing about the sport. Though maybe for an American, I have a passing knowledge, but by Euro standards, I'd be living under a rock. Prior to this I could name a handful of players (Ronaldo, Messi, Landon Donovan, Megan Rapinoe, Freddy Adu). I've watched some US World Cup matches, one EPL game (Arsenal v Man Utd in 2000, Thierry Henry was what I remember), and was also randomly invited to a box at the France v Portugal Euro final -- and was like oh shit who's that tall French guy in the middle he's amazing (it was Pogba).

Anyway, strange thing is I unexpectedly ended up getting really really into FM20, after the steep learning curve, but since I know nothing about the game, was hoping someone could fill me in on a few lingering questions I couldn't figure out on my own. For reference, I'm Borussia Dortmund using a 4-1-2-3 wide

So like the title says, I haven’t watched much soccer, and know very little about it. I’m a Braves, Falcons, and Hawks fan, but know almost nothing about ATLUTD. (Only player I know is Josef Martinez) So before games come back I want to learn everything about the team I can. Things like players I should know about, rivals I should hate, or anything else that a fan should know. I want to learn about the team so I can know what’s going on when games start back up.

Users unhappy that mods decided to work with an alleged hate subreddit:

I know that the mods on this sub are reasonable people, so why is r/soccer promoting/working with r/AgainstHateSubreddits, which is a hatesub itself?

It's from r/AHS, aka the embodiment of the reddit left-wing (whiney teenagers who whine)

The users on r/TheDonald for instance advocated for assaults on police, and were banned for a month for it. r/AHS and subs like it are advocating the same thing, yet have received no sanctions.

Users showing their displeasure of diversity hires m

In soccer, players use their feet more than they would playing American football. In American football the players run around with the ball in their hands and throw the ball to each other and occasionally kick the ball. In soccer, players can throw the ball but if you compared both sports and see how much time the ball is kicked, soccer would easily beat American football

Also yes, I am English

I really like it when I wear her tshirt which reaches my mid thighs , it brings smile upon her face . She is dominant yet gentle and treats me like a little girl . Makes me blush and so soft

Soccer is actually called Football, because well, you kick a ball with your foot.... makes sense right??

Outside of America, their football is called American football because generally in Europe ‘soccer’ is football.

I am fascinated with how many things are different in the states compared to other countries but this one can’t slide and I don’t even like football.

Oh and if the yanks have any other differences compared to Europe feel free to let me know.

We've been married for 4 years (me:24F and 25M) We have 2 kids 8M and 2F, since I got pregnant with our lil girl I had so many health issues I had to quit my job, so I kinda lost all my." Social life" Every since we got together I never went out o just hang out with friends anymore, there was always an excuse, he likes to play soccer once in a while with his friends, and I was fine with it. He has his circle of friends and play computers games on a daily basis with his friends online.

Two days ago I mentioned I wanted to go to a party when my 2 year old kid can stay with her grandma or with him ( she is breastfeeding still), he said no right away, he said I was not going to be able to go out if it wasn't with him, and that I don't have the need to be making any other friends if I have him, (FYI I don't drink or smoke, so going out is just to dance, music and get to know ppl), and that "there's NO WAY I will ever go out alone to a party, maybe a gym"

So today he says his friend invi

She keeps running away from the ball.

Hi everyone, hope you're all well.

With the imminent return of more leagues around the world, the mod team thought that now would be a good time to have a Meta thread to discuss some things about r/soccer.

Weekly Threads

We're going to be changing our weekly thread schedule again, as with more football being played, we'll need less filler content. /u/AnnieIWillKnow has done a great job with the Pub Quizzes and we're glad you have all been enjoying them. So those will become monthly as opposed to weekly for now.

The Wednesday Off Topic Thread will be discontinued (Free Talk Friday will remain, though), as well as the Weekend Discussion Threads. Any ideas to replace them would be greatly appreciated!

Return To Normal Rules

Since the leagues came to a halt, we relaxed the rules on throwbacks to allow them to be posted on any anniversary. With the return of football, we'll be going back to our regular rules set in that regard. Throwbacks may now only be posted on the 5/10

My son (6) wanted to try soccer so I signed him up for a rec league in town. The rec league is advertised as a just for fun, no score keeping activity where all the kids get equal playing time. It was a good fit for my son because he isn’t particularly athletic. Once the practices started, it was pretty clear to him (and me) that he wasn’t very good, but he enjoyed it and made a friend on the team.

Things went bad at the first game. The coach was keeping score and was playing the talented kids for significantly more of the game. He was also fighting with the refs (who were maybe 13) over calls and picking apart the kids’ every move.

I took him aside after the game and asked him if he could stop keeping score and playing some players more than others, as it was against league rules. He told me that if I wanted my kid to play, I should practice more with him and it’s my own fault that he’s not being played. For the record, practiced a bit with my son when he wanted to, but the point o

Welcome to the ninth /r/soccer Pub Quiz! This will be the final of the weekly editions of the quiz, with the majority of the major European leagues now having returned to action.

As well as continuing the theme of general football knowledge, there will also be a round focusing on the news of the previous month – so make sure you keep in the loop!
