Reasons I Love Modern Football

ValleyGaryValleyGary
in Other Football and Sports
The hope it seems to give people all over the world. Poor children in all corners of the world running around forgetting their problems for a moment just to be like Messi or Ronaldo.

The fact I can watch football on TV pretty much every day of the week so I don't have to watch endless soaps.

Decent facilities at most grounds

    I know this thread wasn't meant to be serious, but answering the title...

    Nor having to enter a riot zone around the ground.
    The 99% eradication of racist chanting (in the UK at least)
    More women at games
    Proper toilets
    Grounds that aren't crumbling around you, with a roof over your head when it rains
    Being able to see every goal scored in every game (how many of Killer's goals are on tape for example?)

    It's (still) the greatest sport on earth and would argue that it brings people together like nothing else.

    The fact that Billy Bongowongo from the Congo can earn £100k a week in the Prem - and bring all his family and friends back home out of poverty.
    It must also have a knock on effect benefiting their local community.

    Africans here that I know are very strong with helping their family back home.

    Agree with VG about being able to watch endless amounts of games. Although to be fair that's more down to the modern world rather than just modern football.

    Actually following on from the i hate thread and pundits. Nowadays it is easier to find and read about a wide range of views on football. You can now choose to ignore those pundits on tv or in the mainstream newspapers and read the endless amounts of blogs, football websites, forums, twitter etc. Although you do have to be able to filter out a lot of nonsense as well. It's nice being able to have the choice.

    True.
    Have you come across what Drogba gives back to his home town?
    Astounding.

    And to a lesser extent..even our own Yann and his f-a-side centre in a quiet part of France for the local kids.
    Knowing we pay a small percentage towards that goes a small way to justifying the prices we pay.

    Very true. A world where Ceefax was the height of instant communication!

    Oh and Fantasy Football is another definite plus point of modern football, especially when it moved onto the internet
