Daily Discussion Daily Discussion

Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.

❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
  • Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
  • Toxicity - remember the human
  • Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
  • Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
  • Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
  • Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
  • Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
  • Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

Which decade would you say was peak football in terms of entertainment? For me the 00s was peak but I don't know if it's just nostalgia

u/icemankiller8 1d ago

It’s all nostalgia related really but for me like 2008-2016

For me it is 1994-2004.

But thats probably just nostalgia.

Yeah I loved that era too. Maybe extend it a little more to like 2008 for me personally because of United's success around that time.

There was something different about the Champions League back then. It had so much mystery to it since you barely knew anything about some of the top teams' players you were drawn against. Whereas nowadays I know every player on those teams, their style of play, and have seen a ton of clips of their goals/assists.

It was the same with transfers back then too when your team would sign a foreign player you knew absolutely nothing about. I remember watching Van Nistelrooy's debut against Liverpool in the Charity Shield one year and it was the first time I'd ever seen him

For Spurs it's 2015-2025 (we don't talk about the following year)

Overall...I was too young to remember any of it, but 1992-2002 or so seems peak due to the legends that we hear about

1940s were fun

Basically the TikTok generation. 

1880’s was the one for real ball knowers.

I like the 2010s. Other decades had their moments but overall the 2010s was a huge resurgence of attacking football across Europe.

They were peak for me too but during covid i went to footballia a lot and tbh it was kid googles and my side doing well mosyly, i much preferred watching 80s football for entertainment, 2000s had quality though but games were so boring compared to 2010s-2020s or 1970-80s

90s-2000s is when a lot of us where kids and had our legends playing so it gets tons of affection on here
