- In this video, I am discussing the current landscape of football including the recent Euros, the lack of 'world-class' players, VAR, and more
This is the first video of the 24/25 season, there are plenty more to come! And yes, they will be slightly more positive. Just slightly.

I really don’t think the individual players are worse. They just don’t stand out as much because tactics are so oppressive. There’s no time and no space anymore. You get a glimpse of how good players really are at the World Cup (sadly not even at the euros anymore). The World Cup final was a good example of how much an mbappe or even an old Messi can shine in a more open game. Some tactical drawbacks like wingers not being allowed to take risks, strikers needing to press and connect the game more at the expense of raw finishing ability and goalkeepers being required to be good with their feet at the expense of actually stopping shots are valid
@@CarlosRojas-hr6ms I see the point, players like Grealish are almost completely sacrificing their talent, but it it is undeniable that there is a shortage of world class talent compared to any other generation
OFC the players are worse ffs. They suck with the ball at their feet. We dont have a single guy on the level of R9, zidane, ronaldinho, scholes, xavi, iniesta, pirlo - the list is endless. Meanwhile all these guys were playing at the same time.
Son didn't even finish in the Ballon D'Or top 10 in 2022 after scoring 21 league goals
The Ballon D'or was calendar year in 2022. He was horrendous from August - December
The modern game may have just pushed creative players out of the game. There are hardly any forwards that do anything brilliant in games anymore.
The tactics are to move the ball quickly , cross it in and try to score. It’s rare to see players beating a man, especially up the middle to create chances. Or forwards that can receive the ball deeper and dribble up the pitch to score. The talent is gone. We only watch cos we’re loyal to football and our clubs.
We live in an era where Dominic Solanke is being signed by a top 5 club because there are just that little top quaity options around.
@@DylanChe19 We are in a Era where Allen Saint Maximin and such footballers are rare
Agreed. It's the way manager's tactics have become so rigid and all about systems and in return players are becoming more fearful of anything away from that system and that kills players doing individually brilliant things, like it's no secret the No.10 role that players like Pele, Socrates, Zico, Maradona, Zidane, Platini, Riquelme, Rivaldo, Kaka etc played in is now dead because of managers who don't want players that don't run around like Olympic athletes for 90 minutes, and less creative players just makes the game much more boring.
Prem refs need to get in the 🗑️ for ‘two tier’ officiating 😒
"Your missus is going to leave you" haha ahh mate that was good haha
Nice video mate!
Thank you very much mate, much appreciated!
agree with many of your points. solution is simple... stop watching the "top-level" crap and go to your local non-league side, it's still got the soul of the game
And I think Anthony is woooorld classsss
Great view mate honestly. In my mind just 3 names. Shevchenko R9 Henry like come on! Even though Vini has a TT touch to his game.
secondly would appreciate a conversation with yourself have quite a strong opinion on sports in general. When it comes to the game we alll grew up watching there are some cracks in the armour to say the verry least. Evidence would suggest validity in the phrase that refers to bread and circus.
All in all well said and thanks for your time bud.
Thank you very much! Outside of Mbappe & Vini, the level of wingers in the game is poor right now.
@@DylanChe19 serious aboot that conversation if you ever get a minute.
I think everyone should see this video
Thank you mate
I don't think players are worse at all. Generally I think they're just alot more physical so creative players are often pushed off the ball. Iconic creative players of the past wouldn't manage very well in the current era. The quality is still there but fitness level and physicality and height are prioritised over ability. Does it make the sport less enjoyable to watch? Sometimes yes. Are the players worse? No. I agree about referees. Fouls are given too easily
Also no offense but Bale absolutely would not win the Balon D'or this year. He doesn't have the tactical acumen whatsoever compared to a player like Rodri in this era of tactical football. I'd argue kane this season was atleast as good as and a more complete player than Bale ever was
Also because teams nowadays are so much fitter and tactically adept than many of the teams of the players you were naming, current teams would likely comfortably beat many of those older teams. Football teams are slowly getting better for the most part, whether it looks pretty or not
OFC the players are worse ffs. They suck with the ball at their feet. We dont have a single guy on the level of R9, zidane, ronaldinho, scholes, xavi, iniesta, pirlo - the list is endless. Meanwhile all these guys were playing at the same time.
@Sobieskicharge the players aren't worse at all. Players just aren't as good on the ball as although it is still important to be good on the ball, it isn't the what football revolves around anymore. Physicality, tactical acumen and most importantly CONSISTECY are just as crucia, unlike previous eras. A player like zidane who was quite inconstent would struggle abit more in today's era. He managed fine 25 years ago because back then it was OK to only be great every 3 or 4 games (which is what zidane was like). Whereas in today's era where a team has to be good in every single game to get 3 points, it is better for a player to perform at a 7 out of 10 every week (e.g bernardo silva) than be a 9.5/10 every 4 games (like zidane). I get it looks ugly that players aren't as good on the ball anymore, but they absolutely are just as good
i know what u mean with "do i enjoy watching football anymore" im also a spurs fan since 1998. my solution kinda is posting memes and gifs in the forum The Fighting Cock (and drinking alot which i try not to do any more 4 this season)
btw: Ronaldinho would not make it to day cuz of his not existing defensive workrate( not my words )
Pep killed Football, most teams play a substandard version of his football now. The exciting play and passion seems to have disappeared from the gane.
I mean nobody runs at defenders anymore. If that somehow does occur almost everytime its a turn around and safe pass. Even the overlap. The game is not the same at all the geezer on geezer challenges we all love the game for. Something has been missing recently not to say all.. utd liverpool and utd chelsea spring to mind as some proper match ups of old eh.
@@doctordub4501 blows my mind that when teams play a low block, none of the attackers try and take their man on to take a defender out the game
this man 100% does not know ball
Football in 2014: 💃🎇🍻
Football in 2024: 🥱😴💤
This man looks and sounds like Alfie Potts from HITC Sevens
@@mezykin Decent shout
@@DylanChe19ur like a Deliveroo version of the man 😂
How do people say creative players no longer exists like that's a lie have you seen Florian Wirtz, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Jamal Musiala come on quit this bs narrative already
those are the only ones tho, with 2 being in the bundesliga and 2 in the prem... you used to have tons more good creative playmakers...
Bruno Fernandes??🤣🤣🤣
Of course there are some, but not in comparison to before.
@@DylanChe19 There are several creative players today just because they don't perform flicks and tricks doesn't mean that they don't exist
@@princesally743 David Silva, Ozil, Isco, Muller, Coutinho, Eriksen, Dybala, Fabregas, Di Maria, Cazorla, Reus, Rakitic were all playing at the same time and that is just 10s whilst Phil Foden tonight won PFA POTY. Obvious downgrade.
Yeah I kinda agree
FIFA is a video game. Who cares? Who actually invests brain cells to give their ratings any credibility?
its one of the biggest pieces of football media, so it influences people's perception a ton!
@@ysbrandd yeah I understand how it works. My point is that it needs to be separated from reality. Remember - these ratings are likely formulated by 1-2 geeks who've never kicked a ball in their lives.
Tbf it was just use as a 'fun' point that the younger generation would understand. Of course I wouldn't at all base an actual football opinion on FIFA.
really, really sick of hearing about Lamine Yamal. like, congratulations for being 17 man
🤡😂
@@sergioperdomo8414 thanks for your in-depth response, Sergio Pedo-mo
@@sergioperdomo8414 ngl I agree with Thurston, players like this will get overplayed, injured and thrown into the garbage by barca... it's a new Barca that IS NOT like before... they are very tight in their finances and hungry for the slightest bit of talent... no time to develop and be fully grown, just play and play!
@@ysbrandd It's rare to see a player so good at 16. That is why they are so memorable. Rooney, Mbappe, and Pele get remembered because of how precocious they were and of course certain narratives get created by the media about them but that is part of being a footballer. Also, if Barca do not satisfy what he wants in his career, he will just leave.
System players running around like blue arsed flies, same overlap formula every game, no creativity, all based on stats, beep tests and speed. All the small technical players who make football fun to watch are turned away.
Lets not even get started on diving and VAR. Football is truly in the mud.
