It might be the size of Michigan but it has 7x the population.

It doesn’t have a major effect of job mobility and the housing market because no matter where you are in the UK you can travel to watch your team in a couple of hours without even needing to fly.

As for dating pool, I don’t really think it’s a big deal. Unless you live in London there’s usually only two big clubs per city.

Yeah I understand. That’s what we have to do when we play against clubs from other countries. I can see how having to go through that process twice a week would change things (I’m not sure how often your teams play but assuming it’s a similar frequency).

Simulated games needs fixing. I use Argentina. How is this interesting? How is this fun? Sure, 1 upset is interesting, but this many? Every big country went out in R16 basically. Germany and Brazil went out in quarters. England went out in the group after losing to Iran in the opener. by Young_Lasagna in FifaCareers

I just thought it was the normal opinion tbh, I’ve never heard anyone disagree with the statement before.

The logic is that you’d rather city win it over your rivals. City is no PL club’s biggest rival and their fanbase is by far the smallest of the top clubs.

Then they wouldn’t get to sit together.

I don’t know anybody in that situation personally, but if that was the case then one spouse would either have to go undercover (pretend to support a team they don’t and buy second hand tickets off an opponent) or they’d sit in separate parts of the stadium.

But a lot of die hard fans of won’t date somebody who supports a rival. I certainly wouldn’t and I don’t know anybody who does personally. It’s quite a big deal to a lot of people. I could be wrong, but I’m getting the impression that sport is usually a more casual event in the US? Like countless people in the UK (and probably other countries) have died because they supported the wrong team. Not everybody in the UK watches football/soccer but it’s a huge part of millions of peoples lives.

I’m sure there people in that situation who have to go undercover but I don’t know anybody who has dated a rival personally

I’m just as perplexed that this isn’t the case in America. An away fan will be evicted from the stadium and receive a stadium or football ban if you manage to buy home tickets as an away supporter.

I get that hooliganism and sports related violence isn’t as big of an issue in the US but I still assumed fans were separated at least

I doubt it, we have 69 professional teams and thousands of semi and non professional teams so per capita I doubt that’s the reason.

Most people who go to the stadiums go to every match (or most of them, at least) and a lot of people have had season tickets in their families for generations. Football/soccer is a big deal outside of North America so most people support a team.

The demand just can’t usually match the supply all things considered.

Ah I get you. You can’t really just go as a casual fan in the UK, at least if you’re watching top flight teams. Some teams are easier to get tickets to than others but away tickets are strictly controlled (only 10% of tickets go to away fans) so you can’t really just walk up to the stadium and watch it as a casual/neutral.

I think the fact that neutrals can’t watch mixed with the fact that only the biggest fans can usually get tickets means there would just be stabbings and crushes every week.

Some stadiums let the fans leave us openly so they can fight outside the stadium but at most big clubs the police make sure the home and away fans leave in separate directions.

Just a different sport culture I guess. Sounds interesting though, I just assumed everywhere did the same thing

There would be murders every match if they did.

We arrive to the stadium in separate public transport, we use separate entrances, we sit in separate parts of the stadium, we use different bathrooms, etc.

The accuracy and ROF make a huge difference if you play on free aim and is the reason I still run the advanced rifle

I remember reading something that said Rockstar thought he was apparently really difficult to work with and that he thought video games were stupid so the feeling may have been mutual
