OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[HNL HI]

timely topic, a lot of commentators across all sports tend to take away more then they add imo.

truly is an art..

I dunno, AI/AR commentating sounds like a horrible idea

It's not about simply blandly describing exactly what we're watching, you already have play by play folks for that.

Good commentators add a lot of color/flavor to the pictures we're watching and without someone dropping references/jokes really wouldn't be the same imo. The passion also makes it all the more enjoyable to watch.

Someone like Peter Drury on the mic when someone does something amazing or scores a worldie > watching on mute or with AI commentary.

Don't get me started on other language commentary too , they add so much to the broadcast

Stupid headline, do we actually need football journalists? yes, but imagine the crying if somebody wrote that.

 

[tomdiginson]

Oh get that money Ray, hustle even harder and get a bigger check.

But he’s still a clown. Henry gets it.

Respectfully disagree.

 

[Coupé It]

This was too easy.

Start Henry
Bench Drogba
Sell Rooney

 

[vtotheinay]

this is wild. nobody knew he was playing last season with cancer. glad he's all good though

Footy still has some good commentary... but football? Especially college football? Its a god damb hellscape these days. Id much rather listen to any computer than a PAC12 crew or Gary Danielson.

 

[Coupé It]

The NFL needs commentators tho.

There is only like 4 minutes of actual game play in 4 hours.

On topic - Shaktar looking to be on their way out Might be motivated to make a sale or two in January...

The manning caste is a vibe.

It would be massive for the club, our city, and the league. That said, I think it’s far too soon. He’s still among the best of the world and belongs in Europe.

If his options become Barca or Inter Miami.....lets be real. Becks gonna have to offer him a part of ownership to go there

 

[cs02132]

Chelsea gotta rest some players tonight before they get smacked up on Sunday

Yea definitely think he still has a good 3-4 years of footy left in him in Europe's top leagues.

After that though I think he could have that impact everyone hoped Becks to LA would've had on footy in America.

Having one of the GOATs playing in the league when they're not fully washed would be a massive draw and bring unprecedented attention and interest to the sport. Either Ron or Messi in MLS would be box office

Scottish teams just punching bags

Doubt he wants to go out on a baseball field like Higuain

Jota

He needs go out in Rosario in front of thousands of adoring Newell’s fans. MLS will never give him a proper send off

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Macca got a fatija plate in skull

 

[AZwildcats]

Well ain’t this some ********

Chalobah and KK marking nobody for that goal
