I love pep as a coach because he play the kind of football I enjoy but the way they hype him here among his peers that are top coaches like him is what is bringing arguments.

airmark:


If Fraudiola fails to win it this season, then it's another confirmation that Klopp and Tuchel are better than him.

Ibime:
First time I tried to watch Super Bowl, I didn't even make it to half-time. What a boring sport. People counting yards and all sorts of nonsense.

Sport that boys will finish secondary school in Nigeria having never played the sport, move to Yankee and because they are fast and strong, they become professional gridiron players just from playing 2 years in senior high school.

That's a skill-less sport. If you are not playing soccer by 8 years old, you can 99.99% guarantee you won't have developed the skills to make it pro by 18. The latest anyone turned pro in soccer by starting late to my knowledge was Theo Walcott who started playing at 10

raumdeuter:


Shebi all of them dey the same league started the same day. We see where they all are now

Pep has 2 CL titles, What of the others

raumdeuter:


Any sport you are not used to will be boring to you. Just like I find cricket boring, some Indians will swear its the most exciting thing. An American will find European football boring and will ask you how you can enjoy such a low scoring sport. One of the arguments of ESL and Perez is that football is too long, boring, lo scoring and losing fans especially among the younger demographics, They are proposing changes that will even make it more like an American sport

Most cultures and countries play football casually and it requires little setup to play. You dont need a hoop or special thing to play

Just 2 stones for goalpost and orange(or anything spherical and you are good to go

Shukusheka:
American football is 50% tactics/structure, 40% physique and 10% skills. There is a reason they need to complement that absolute borefest of a sport with half-time entertainment.

raumdeuter:


I am not a neutral, I prefer football to American football so to me Champions League is bigger. To an average American who follows NFL Super bowl is bigger

Where and how you grow up determines which sport you will follow, I grew up in Nigeria and follow football, Someone who grew up in America will be fanatical about NFL or Baseball which you wont understand and someone who grew up in India will follow cricket

Which one is bigger? Of 6billion people in the world, I can say almost half which is 3billion people follow Football, world cup and Champions League while NFL is only followed by mostly Americans 300M

The only reason you are asking this question is because America is the richest country and have the resources to promote their sport.

2 CL titles for a team without Messi?

Klopp and Tuchel won UCL without Messi, Fraudiola attempted it several times without success.

popizaino:


I haven't watched it but was any Chelsea player rated?

Havertz10:
I can't believe that someone is asking which is bigger between superbowl and champions league final


America owns main stream media, they will always hype their events like the greatest thing since slice bread, that's why I don't blame china for blocking out their media, they will override and americanize your culture and present it in a format that suits whichever narrative they want to popularize to the global community , see Netflix and Disney
In movies, tv shows and documentaries, America saves the world from aliens, they are the heroes for everything

Back to the topic, champions league final averages 400m spectators and those are conservative estimates, if we factor viewing centers in Africa and most regions, I will say that it's about 800m ~1 billion
Superbowl averages 100m but somehow you can't see that it's beneath the champions league when it comes to reach because main stream media presents it that way
Puts into perspective every news story that you read, someone is actively trying to dictate your understanding of things

Chelsea fans should we start?

Messi missed a penalty in the Round of 16 2012, Chelsea went on to win the UCL

Messi missed penalty in round of 16 2021, Chelsea went on to win the UCL

Messi missed penalty in round of 16 2022, Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Imagine the scenes if we retain the UCL

This post is an unnecessary over-demonization of America. It's like you just irrationally hate all aspects of the country.

It makes sense that the two events are compared because they are the 2 biggest sports in the whole world. their finals are the highest watched sporting event in the world. Obviously football is bigger but the NFL is next on the list.
At the height of British colonialism, cricket was once the biggest sporting event in the world.

Secondly, the British media is the most influential in the world with the BBC alone active in more than 80 countries around the world. They are the biggest media corporation in the world. Bigger than CNN, SKY and FOX news combined.

Yes American culture permates throughout the globe because they offer the relatively best freedom of lifestyle and quality of life than many other countries with the English language also being a most defining factor of their wide reach.
No need to demonize america here. It's uncalled for in relation to the topic at hand.
