#commentators

How does this work?

There will be one "exhibition match" that's predetermined, the rest of the tournament being a poll bracket. There will be one poll posted per day, lasting a full 24 hours before another poll is posted. Participants of the tournament are free to reblog in response.

Particpants are also allowed to create propaganda for their characters: promotional content, sharing links, and any other ways to promote your character are allowed AND encouraged.

What is wrong with football? Where do you start? I’ll pick six, off the top of my head.

1. VAR. Completely ruined football. Decisions being made from 100’s of miles away. Makes the game stop/start with constant interruptions for totally unnecessary decisions that could easily be made by the on-field officials. OK, so they’ll get it wrong from time to time. So what? Don’t players and managers make mistakes?

2. Simulation. Contributes to the stop/start and is now being used as a tactic by coaching staff to delay the game, especially towards the end of games and very often by goalkeepers.

3. OK, the picture shows women commentating on a women’s tournament. Now show me a picture of commentators for a men’s tournament that doesn’t include women. You can’t.

4. Millions taken out of the game in the pockets of average players.

5. Incompetent officials. It’s the main reason VAR came into existence. There’s plenty of money sloshing around the game - put some of it into proper training of officials.
