Do you mean you find the actually football boring?
That's definitely been my problem for a few years now...
I support liverpool and our football is dire, so lacking in style and composure, so turgid, so built on physical attributes I've completely lost interest in us winning the league, despite wanting it desperately for 30 odd years.
I'd even go so far as to say that from the point of view of watchability, we will be one of the worst teams to win the league in living memory. And I.include Mourinho Chelsea teams in that assessment.
We're dreadful and its emblematic of football around europe i think...
Yes, 100% I agree. Actual real life football is putting me off, i really like this game, but it's my entire interest in the sport is waning.
I'm an Arsenal fan, the less said about our season the better but its the douche culture around my club i cannot stand anymore. I will love Arsenal forever but I don't really like many of the players we have, they are mostly douches themselves who enjoy the Instagram attention and lifestyle and we have many players who overrate themselves, hence why we are 9th.
As for the game globally. The sad thing but most powerful thing about what you wrote about your team Liverpool is that for me they are clearly the worlds best! Football really is that dire right now and it will only get worse year after year!!! Apart from you guys in regards to elite teams you have:
City who are inconsistent since defensively they are poor!
Barca have been rubbish and dreadful to watch all season, Valverde bored everyone with his functional tiki taka, now Setien is boring everyone with his 1000 passes no end product unless Messi wins the game by himself.
Madrid are inconsistent and have too many players and no fluency. The player like strangers when the opposition doesn't roll over infront of them.
Bayern are also inconsistent and have dropped in quality since Ribery and Robben dropped off in ability and left last year.
Juventus i don't find entertaining side, Inter have improved under Conte but again like Juve are a functional side to watch. It's the quality of the players in regards to these teams, the new generation are rubbish, they aren't even close to what we say 15-20 years ago. Young players are heavily overhyped and haven't brought much or anything new to the game at all. These teams are still relying heavily on the last batch of the older generation who are near the cliff in terms of their careers at the top level.
Lazio play some good stuff but they are NOT a top side whatsoever. The other team to mention is PSG but honestly they should just rename their club to 'the real husbands of Paris' they way half their team behaves.
The most entertaining teams for me has by a long distance have been Atalanta and Real Sociedad, after that probably Dortmund on a good day. I respect Getafe but they are horrible to watch. All hard work, little real quality. The fact they are 3rd in La liga, like an average Leicester side 3rd in the EPL just sums up how bad modern football is. Very little true entertainment and freeform creativity anywhere. The game is too much about being an athlete.
Lastly as you can tell already and you will see in the latest update, too many teams play the same way these days. The game has almost completely lost the street football, freeform element. I find it so hard to pick a team I enjoy playing with.
