Welcome to the community folks

Based for calling the dibs first for the main name as football and not soccer

[–] detinu 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

If we can get match threads and goals in here then that's 80% of my reddit usage.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yup, same here. Also love how we get a second chance to make things right and use /c/football and not /r/soccer

[–] wipeitonthedog 7 points 1 year ago

This sub(or whatever it is called in Lemmy) already has more engagement than I expected. We can make this happen!

[–] ArianaGrande 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Fuckin get PSGAcademy in here asap!

[–] pleasemakesense 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Very nice, hope this takes off, my favorite subreddit was r/soccer hopefully PSGacademy migrates too so we can have some highlights 😭

[–] fatal 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We could make a bot to scrape r/soccer and duplicate posts here, or use the free API, though im not 100% sure as I obv dont want to infringe on the rules in here. Happy to do so as a fuck you to reddit though.

[–] pleasemakesense 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've been reposting some things I found on r/soccer but don't know if we want to replicate the whole frontpage, maybe do highlights and game threads first and foremost?

[–] fatal 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IMO, I think we get the most initial traction from content. Specifically, highlights and news. Once people realize there are other good social media aggregators, the match threads and etc will come on their own

🤣🤣🤣. Entice them with karma and awards.

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would be fun, I'm just trying this place out to be honest and noticed there wasn't a community for football! Who's your team?

[–] pleasemakesense 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm kind of a Sunderland fan (not from the UK, but liked them the most when I started following English football), mostly follow the Swedish national team otherwise 😊

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My cousin is a Sunderland fan, tough break in the playoffs. Also I love Zlatan, he will be missed.

[–] pleasemakesense 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, sad with the injury keeping him from coming back full strength 🫤. Happy I grew up with a Swede at the absolute top of football tho!

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago

One of the best of his generation. Absurdly talented and a lot of fun in interviews!

[–] matcha 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah good to see my favorite sub in here already. The only thing I miss already is the team flair

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have no idea how to make those on here!

[–] pleasemakesense 2 points 1 year ago

Think it's not possible to make those at the moment :(

[–] pleasemakesense 2 points 1 year ago

You still here mate?

Guess you could say you'll never walk alone

[–] MushroomMan89 6 points 1 year ago

Boo! Boo this man!

[–] BlameItOnSomeone 2 points 1 year ago

Now that's a post that deserves multiple upvotes ;)

[–] DripGeronimo 8 points 1 year ago

I've created https://lemmy.world/c/sscnapoli if anyone is interested

[–] Astrealix 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks mate, especially for claiming the proper name for the place!

[–] MushroomMan89 3 points 1 year ago

No dramas, I figure there will be an NFL and a College Football one sprout up in time

[–] hairwire 6 points 1 year ago

So we're calling it Football now? :)

Hello!

[–] sanguinepar 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Proud to be the first Scottish fan on this sub!

My team's Dunfermline Athletic, recently promoted to the second tier in Scotland and looking forward to the new season already.

EDIT - sorry, "community", not "sub"! I suspect that's not the last time I'll make that mistake.

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Congrats! I don't know if there's such a thing as flairs on here yet but once those come along I'll see what we can do about it.

Are you from Dunfermline?

[–] sanguinepar 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am, but I live in Edinburgh now. What's your team?

[–] MushroomMan89 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dad's a Man United fan so that's a cross I bear. He took me to see Peterborough all the time growing up though, so I watch them when I can.

[–] sanguinepar 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice! More fun being a fan of a smaller side I think - less glory, but it means more when it happens.

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I went with my dad, brother in law and has brother to Wembley to watch The Posh win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy which was awesome!

Greetings from The Netherlands!

[–] superbeans 2 points 1 year ago

The 2014 Mexico - Netherlands game was a defining moment in my football fandom. No era penal!

[–] MushroomMan89 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hello! Van Basten in '88 is still a top 10 goal of all time for my money.

[–] ruud 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then you must also remember RUUD Gullit :-)

[–] MushroomMan89 2 points 1 year ago

I do, although I confess my knowledge of stuff from the 80s is from YouTube. I remember Gullit at Chelsea and Newcastle

Hello, and welcome!

[–] jack 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for setting this up! Can't beat a bit of football chat and with it being silly season, I'm sure there's plenty to be had!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

So glad we got the name football! Hartlepool/Sunderland fan checking in hopefully this community stays active, r/soccer was my fave sub

[–] MushroomMan89 1 points 1 year ago

Alright mate

[–] Skyraptor7 3 points 1 year ago

Hello everyone, fellow r/soccer refugee and MUFC fan from the states

Look forward to the banter this season!!
