VAR is so trash at times....how you smash into the back of a player in the box, with no chance of getting the ball and it's not foul?

Matter fact ref is trash it really didn't need VAR.

spurs playing much better this second half
still if they don't score while they're on top,burnley will have their little spell
and spurs might crumble

as far as arsenal, we got lucky, but we'll take the 3 points.
mari was good for the most part.

Convinced Bayern gives these other teams a head start.

They were probably like when Leipzig and Gladbach were on top

How do I actually learn what I’m watching? Soccer has grown lightweight interesting to watch, but not having grown up with it, I’m just watching them run around, an occasional interesting block or pass and score. I know nothing of what else to look for

I started getting into ice hockey over the last few years, and how I started to better understand the game was by learning one position at a time. I would learn all about the role and responsibilities of a Defenseman, and then when I watched games I would just focus on the defenseman. Then after a few games I would move on to learning about the Centre and would follow the same plan of watching and understanding that specific position.

You can learn all of the players, strategies, formations, etc., but it’s kind of pointless if you don’t know what the role of each player is and what makes them either good or bad at their job. It really makes the game more enjoyable when you know what everybody is doing and the reasoning behind it.
