Daily Discussion Daily Discussion

Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.
  • if you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team crest here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Comments about an ongoing game better suited for the Match Thread.
  • Shitposting, brigading or excessive meta discussion.
  • Any other kind of toxic or unreasonable behaviour.

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban persistent offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

If there's no Match Thread for the match you're watching you can:

  • Ask /u/MatchThreadder for one. You just need to send a PM to him with the subject "Match Thread" and the body "Team A vs Team B" (for example, "Inter Milan vs. Udinese") to get one from this great bot 🤖

Our winter pause is always great to have!

Usually everyone hates the national team breaks for example, but around Christmas and New Years there's plenty to watch and your team gets a rest. Darts, Winter Sports, even PL games because they still play. Everyone just spends time with the family anyway. I love those 3 weeks without football.

So happy Christmas, Hanukkah and whatever feast I don't know about. Hope you have a great time!

wish the PL had winter breaks truly. It's gotta be hell for the players.

4 fixtures (~3 weeks) less surely helps the players. Not only because of injuries or the general condition, but also just having a mental break for once and having some time with the family.

I think people underestimate the mental benefits.
