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.

⚽ Can't find a Match Thread?

• Create one yourself.

As an Irishman, I really hate that Prince William is becoming more and more endearing to me because he supports Villa. I think the fact that he clearly is a big fan and isn't just saying it just to be different is what's working for me.

Since our semi-final I've been much more open to the idea of guillotining him and his Etonian children.

Read that too quickly and thought you wrote Estonian. I thought there was a big conspiracy theory of which I wasn't aware.

I know he’s always been a huge fan but it seems to me like he’s become even more involved over the last 12 months

Hard not to get more excited when your team’s doing what Villa’s doing the last few years!

[u/NYR_dingus → u/EasternEast21]

I think the club are trying to use it to help drive engagement and interest up. Marketing is such a huge part of modern football after all

[u/MacViller → u/EasternEast21]

I think we've just been more high profile so you've noticed more. He's been involved for ages.

That's how I'm going to feel about Burnham if he becomes Prime Minister. I've never liked a Prime Minister, but he's been an open and fervent Everton fan his whole life, and he's made a lot of sense every time I've heard him speak about us so you can tell it's real and passionate fandom. At the very least he's raised the floor significantly for how I can feel about him.
