Its a reflection of the cultures of the different countries. America has more of a sense of “equality and opportunity for all” which is why you have salary caps, and every teams fanbase believes that they will have “that year” where they can win it all. Its not 100% accurate but in American sport you actually have a semblance of parity, unlike in European Soccer.

The answers youve got in this thread answer your question in the sense that it seems like European soccer fans care more about tradition and the “holiness of football” mentality than actually enjoying watching your club do well and have winning success. Its just a completely different mentality, and neither are bad, just different.

Me personally, as an American, I dont understand how so many people are ok with the absolute lack of parity, and the permanent oligarchy of strong clubs (the reason why it is basically impossible for a smaller club to win big trophies or hold on to their homegrown players even if they have a slight taste of winning) but thats because my upbringing is different.

European Soccer has much more tradition than American corporate sports, but maybe that is a sacrifice for the parity and equality that American sports has?

Also your last point makes perfect sense, and it’s always funny seeing people hate on City and Chelsea and Newcastle for trying to build a team using the only possible way to do it in modern football.

In recent memory Messis miss in Cope America or The 3 british youngsters in the euro 2020

Its the difference between a dynasty and a very good team.

learn to cope please

Longest ive seen Liverpool fans go without crying about something or another this season is about an hour and 15 minutes 😹😹

downvoted with no rebuttal 😹

Im indifferent to most of these changes except the handball one. Thats always been a huge flaw in the game in my personal opinion, especially because its such a subjective area, and many times there is almost nothing you can do to prevent it. The advantage it provides is just not balanced at all. It doesn’t necessarily have to be translated to an indirect free kick but i would like if something was done about it
