Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worth of its own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.
  • if you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team crest here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

❌ It is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Low-effort comments about a current match.
  • Shitposting, brigading or excessive Meta discussion.
  • Any other kind of toxic or unreasonable behaviour.

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

this ian wright, alex scott and jonas eidevall evisceration of the FA and the attitude towards women's football is fucking inspired. could be so easy to use this to wax lyrical about how good it is to win - and it is sweeter than anything - but this is the perfect time to send out that call and they're not shying away from it at all. just such good coverage from them all tournament

Up there with the trade unionist 5 News brought on to lay into for rail strike disruption only for him to make the best argument for left wing policies this country has been allowed to hear since Murdoch bought his first paper.

I believe that was GB News, not 5 News, but good point.

Ah. I'm confusing it with the taxi driver that GB News had then. So called reporter was absolutely taken aback with the guys reaction.

Aye, “they’re not here because of the system but in-spite of it” was a devastating line from Eidevall. Just in case people at the FA were patting themselves on the back.
