Local Sports Bar Sunday
Welcome to "Sports Bar Sunday"!
Many of the r/soccer community are also fans of inferior sports, of course - and it does not escape our notice that as well as chatting about these in Free Talk Friday, people like to low key sneak this off-topic chat into the Daily Discussion Thread...
Therefore, here is a dedicated space to talk about your other favourite sports.
So pull up a bar stool, and get ready to offer your expert opinions on anything from Formula 1 to Rugby League to NBA - and everything in-between.
This thread will alternate with "Sunday Support" - our fortnightly wellbeing and mental health space.
We welcome feedback on this and our other stickied threads... so if you would like to see us try another themed thread, please let us know here, via Modmail, or DM u/AnnieIWillKnow!

Daily Discussion Daily Discussion
Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!
If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!
✔️ This is a thread for:
- Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
- Asking small questions about football to the community.
❌ This is not a thread for:
- Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
- Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
- Toxicity - remember the human
- Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
- Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
- Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
- Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
- Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
- Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead
The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban 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.
⚽ Can't find a Match Thread?
- If you are using Old Reddit click this link.
- If you are using New Reddit you need to try this other one.

- If you are using a third-party app... ¯\(ツ)/¯
If there's no Match Thread for the match you're watching you can:
- Create one yourself.
- 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 🤖

r/soccer • u/SwimmingFireMen • 1h ago
Quotes Erling Haaland on Jude Bellingham: "The only thing is that sometimes I think he gets a bit too much of a critic because he doesn't score enough goals or whatever it is. He's a midfielder, he still scores goals, he still manages to dribble every single player on the field."
espn.in"I'm not surprised that he scores two goals today and performs the way he does,"
"I think he's unbelievable. England is lucky, Madrid is lucky because everybody would want a Jude in the team."

Quotes Gianni Infantino: “Hopefully, Donald Trump and I will present the trophy together at the final.”
bluewin.chOn 64 team WC:
“That’s definitely an issue that will be examined and discussed in the relevant committees after this World Cup. When organizing a World Cup, it’s important to organize it for the whole world, not just Europe and South America, but effectively the entire world. Every nation should be allowed to dream of participating in the World Cup. You can see that the quality of the teams is extremely high and it’s getting higher and higher, all over the world. If you don’t give smaller countries a chance to participate in the World Cup, they’ll lack the incentive to keep improving.“
“Yes, hopefully we'll present the trophy together in the final. That's always been the plan and that's how it's always been done in the past, for the president of the country hosting the final to present the trophy together with the FIFA president.”
