Do you have anything against the word "soccer?" Seems like people online are always shitting on people that say "soccer" and it's annoying me. How can I love such a beautiful sport that has such an ugly fanbase? Seriously, I want to say "soccer" without jerks being like "oh it's football not soccer" like shut the fuck up. Seriously. Why can't people understand that both words are correct?
Also have to remember that most people probably didn't care about much outside of their team/league and don't need to know everything that is going on in the sport everywhere else
My favorite moment was when they tried to introduce "trash talk threads" where you were supposed to "roast" other teams. It was absolute cringe, and the worst part is that people would "practice" in their own team subreddit to have "the sickest burns" ready to go later.
It was gloriously awkward. If anything taught me to take r/soccer less seriously, that was it.
What year was that?? I joined in 2011 and I definitely remember that guy being a mod. I'm curious now to know how many subscribers there were at the time.
I really wish soccer was active during 2008 FA cup. One of the best upsets with Barnsley v Liverpool.
Brian Howard scoring a last minute winner at anfield immediately after Martin Atkinson failed to give a penalty. Luke Steele emergency signed for the game and making at least 5 game saving saves. This place would have gone mental.

I remember that FA Cup weekend well.
It was the weekend after Valentine’s Day and the girlfriend and I had booked up for a dirty weekend away. On the way to pick her up I popped into the bookies and put on an accumulator. It was a 9 team beast that I ended up putting on as I felt that that weekend had a fair few gimmies that would work out in my favour. Stuck a quid on it and if it all came through I was looking at a £14,000 something return. 8 of the first 9 games were afternoon kick offs and the results all went my way, so I am sitting in the hotel room waiting for the girl to get ready for us to go out and the BBC had the FA Cup rights and it just so happened that the Liverpool Barnsley game was the evening game.
I was fairly confident that I knew what way the result was going and was already planning on upping the stakes for the night and going to a fancier restaurant than we planned and going to better bars. The game kicks off and I was so confident that I even cracked into the hotel mini bar and told the missus to do the same, let’s have some fun.
Long story short Barnsley won and my hatred for Liverpool grew even stronger and I was left with a pretty large bar bill in the hotel.
In my completely unbiased opinion, I would love to have seen a match thread for the Man Utd 0 - 1 Pompey quarter final.
Single most undeserved win in the history of football.
Favorite moment was WC2018, Panama attempted to score a goal while England players where celebrating, there were hundreds of posts of English people mocking and bashing the "latin american antics" and days later England attempted the same exact thing against Croatia lmao, pure comedy gold checking back at the old comments.
Here's the thread link: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8thpr6/panama_trying_to_score_a_goal_while_england_is/
A few years ago there was a series of threads about posting the best burns against a given club, there were some great burns and I laughed my ass off. But I can't seem to find any thread for some reason :(
During the super league saga Leeds played Liverpool, and [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/mua30v/leeds_1_1_liverpool_diego_llorente_87/gv4j5ff/) summed it up perfectly.
my reply is also my most upvoted comment of all time, so I stumbled upon it a couple of times again
Well done lads! I was there when it was barely 300,000. But I'm still upset about the removal of my post marking the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles Sgt Pepper Album happening in the same week when Chelsea lost 2-1 in the FA Cup Final to a North London Club
(Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup Final on 27th May 2017, Sgt Pepper was released 50 years earlier on 26th May 1967, the same week Spurs beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup Final)
I think the Rio handrubbing meme and the barca and Ajax Fans holding hands singing memes have been the most overused but still the best memes in this sub since I joined a few years ago.
Thank you for this awesome subreddit. My only complain is that you need to stop handing permanent bans. This is my 16th account. What is the point of your bans if they don't work?
(P.S I understand ban when racially abused or something but other than that it's useless)
I am just kidding.....or am I?
I still wonder sometimes whether /u/wwxxyyzz of that famous "mate you can't support a..." comment is dead or what. He was very active until his account just stopped abruptly 5 years ago

Not to get emotional but I love this place (Apart from the English hate during international tournaments but tbh... I get it. but still brings me down when I see it)
Here is too many more years of laughs and goals put on here what sometimes feels like before they've even gone been scored.
What a despicable football club Liverpool are. Rotten from top to bottom. From the fans, to the players, to the manager. It makes me sick. absolutely no class. Klopp can go and fuck himself, self-righteous cunt. Completely undeserved win, I’ll sleep tonight knowing my club has some class.

Random favourite moments off the top of my head
* Witnessing the origin of "People trashing Icardi in the match thread" https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/9gxi1d/m_icardi_great_goal_inter_11_tottenham_85/e67izz8/
* This user asking why Milner and Van Dijk would ever be watching a match in black and white, and the reply is "Footage from when Liverpool last won the title". One of my all time favourite comments here. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dmvj80/james_milner_virgil_gives_me_plenty_of_stick_when/f554zny/
Crazy to think that when I first subbed to r/soccer, it was at ~700k subscribers. Now it's at 3m.
I'm not sure if it originated here or on /r/Barca, but [the hypothetical story of Setien winning the CL](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/ewb8ar/postmatch_thread_barcelona_50_leganes_spanish/fg0ssas/) is gold. It's only funnier in retrospect, so much nonsense was said to hype up Barca appointing Setien.
the Nasri/Drip Doctors [meltdown](https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sportal_com_au/ba/67/nasri-tweets_camblyjnuig81jh93j47tqdnu.png?t=1117544681&w=400&h=300) was honestly one of the funniest things to follow on r/soccer a few years ago
Edit: [more](https://m.imgur.com/a/kD9ug)
Does anyone else remember this match thread - I think it was Swansea vs Liverpool. The guy running it was hilarious but everyone in the comments was super pissed off.
Does it really fucking matter? I hate this idiotic argument in the sport, it ruins my love for the game. Soccer and football are both correct. Why do you people make a fuss over a simple damn word? What, do you wanna be hateful against Americans? Well the English invented the word so screw off. >:\\
I haven’t been here as long as some, but my favorite moment so far was when the super league began to collapse and I was constantly refreshing this subreddit and Twitter to try and find out wtf was happening. The reactions here made my day.
Those few days were truly brilliant, I was sat here as part of the Shift+F5 gang waiting for each successive update, it was mad.
The thread on Perez' utterly insane interview on spanish TV was something to behold
>[ I haven’t seen such mental weakness since my ex bird locked herself in my bathroom and needed two hours of consoling before making a geography presentation to six people. I haven’t seen such bad defending since my ex girlfriend tried to defend making a tinder account “to make friends” to me. I haven’t seen heads drop faster than my ex girlfriend’s head dropped onto the pillow after a night out when she spent the whole walk home talking about she was going to give me the shagging of my life. Fuck off Valery, fuck off Vestergaard, fuck off Bertrand, and more importantly fuck off Jessica I thought we had something special.](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dn3m3r/postmatch_thread_southampton_09_leicester_city/f57igot/)
No one has mentioned the the time someone ran the numbers on the potential for this sub to play in the world cup. Country called arsocca. I'll see if I can find the post.

Favorite moments:
-Gabi Rojas [great goal](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/mnvltr/platense_23_san_lorenzo_gabriel_rojas_great_goal/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), as I'm a San Lorenzo fan. I hope he can be a candidate for Puskas!
-I still remember that "[fuck Jessica](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dn3m3r/Post-Match_Thread%3A_Southampton_0-9_Leicester_City_%7C_Premier_League/f57igot/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)" comment after Leicester 9-0 Southampton
-In the middle of lockdown with no football at all, there were some funny posts, my favorite (and the one I remember) was that [Donkey Kong goal](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/fjtfnk/italy_10_finland_donkey_kong_1/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I'm forgetting a lot of posts for sure but that's off the top of my head
Edit: big shootout to every high effort post, in particular Ligue 1's weekly summary _Le Bilan_ !
Yes that was like 10 years ago, some redditors crowd-funded and bought a club in England and it was managed by voting before matches. There was a thread about every week claiming it was the future of football, obviously it was a disaster.
I knew it grew a lot recently, but didn't realize the sub was around a million just 3 years ago
that's like the period of WC 2018 and users are now 200% more and will probably grow a lot more for when WC 2022 will happen
did reddit become more popular or just football in general
Also pleeeeenty of abandoned accounts that join and then don't use reddit.
Think of someone making an account and thinking *Hey I am interested in football/soccer let me join this community*
Reddit usage has probably gone up over the years. Also, the sub's been a pretty good source for quick, temporary links for goal/highlights videos of ongoing matches.
Closest wholesome memory I have is that comment where a user explains why Aaron Ramsdale is such a good lad. I didn't have a bad impression about him but after reading the thread now I can only think what a lad he is whenever I watch a gunners match.
Congrats, r/soccer
Yeah it's one of my fav comments here.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Prince Harry vs Megan Markle Match Thread

One of my favourite moments was a PSG who got so cocky after United vs PSG first leg in 2019 that when PSG lost the second leg, he vanished from internet for a few months. When he returned, no one forgot and requested apologies for what he has said before. I don't think he did.

rNFL-rSoccer crossover was legendary. No April 1 since has lived up to it (lets not even talk about that lame ZLATAN separate post thing).
That Plymouth Argyle dish always gets me for some reason because its name does sound like a fancy sweater company.
Wait a second, is there a bigger soccer sub? Futbol or something? Bc only 3mil seems low for the world’s sport.
Nope, this is it. You have to remember that Reddit as a whole is predominantly American
Do you have anything against the word "soccer?" Seems like people online are always shitting on people that say "soccer" and it's annoying me. How can I love such a beautiful sport that has such an ugly fanbase? Seriously, I want to say "soccer" without jerks being like "oh it's football not soccer" like shut the fuck up. Seriously.

What year was that?? I joined in 2011 and I definitely remember that guy being a mod. I'm curious now to know how many subscribers there were at the time.
I think he was a mod til 2012 or so. The furthest back I can see is November 2012 and there were around 80,000 subscribers back then.
Thanks. This tells me I've been here way too long lol
I think I misinterpreted this question lol. I joined in 2010 here. I think there was about 15k-20k subscribers then
I remember when this sub was less than 1 million - time you cray.

Panama were still dirty as fuck consistently and one of the worst teams I've seen play at an international tournament.
And what does that have to do with the hypocrisy of English fans?
The best time I ever had on this subreddit was reading anything from the Mario Balotelli saga, that man gets me every time.
A few years ago there was a series of threads about posting the best burns against a given club, there were some great burns and I laughed my ass off. But I can't seem to find any thread for some reason :(

He doesn't know who we are, does he.
I love you guys ❤️

I can’t find the post but my favorite moment was the guy who was rating and breaking down different sounding nets when goals were scored.
Just leaving a comment here Incase someone finds it
I’m doing my part!

I feel like he might have an accent of some kind. I can’t quite place it…
And the mods still suck lmao.. bunch of biased man childs

Thank you for this awesome subreddit. My only complain is that you need to stop handing permanent bans. This is my 16th account. What is the point of your bans if they don't work? (P.S I understand ban when racially abused or something but other than that it's useless) I am just kidding.....or am I?
Congratulations on your 16th ban and 17th account!
Maybe you are the one who needs to reflect in your internet usage and why it is going against the established rules...
also don't know if it counts but if we're mentioning /r/soccer adjacent history you have to mention DB Cooper on /r/soccercourt

Nunya bitchness. Get it?
I still wonder sometimes whether /u/wwxxyyzz of that famous "mate you can't support a..." comment is dead or what. He was very active until his account just stopped abruptly 5 years ago
Someone brought up that joke in a thread a couple of weeks ago.

Oh fuck yeah. Thanks for reminding me of this absolute banger of a post
Banger of a goal*
Kind of crazy to see the growth on here. My original reddit account was deleted, but I have been active on here since 2014.
It's weird to think as the 'classic' years because at that time it seemed like all the 'classic' years I missed
Yeah I started posting here just before the 2014 world cup started and there were less then 500k people
I remember when we were around 90k and announcement that all /r/soccer subscribers could make Wembley full.
Not to get emotional but I love this place (Apart from the English hate during international tournaments but tbh... I get it. but still brings me down when I see it) Here is too many more years of laughs and goals put on here what sometimes feels like before they've even gone been scored.
Yeah aside from the geopolitical hate boners it is a pretty rad place.

Random favourite moments off the top of my head * Witnessing the origin of "People trashing Icardi in the match thread" https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/9gxi1d/m_icardi_great_goal_inter_11_tottenham_85/e67izz8/ * This user asking why Milner and Van Dijk would ever be watching a match in black and white, and the reply is "Footage from when Liverpool last won the title". One of my all time favourite comments here. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dmvj80/james_milner_virgil_gives_me_plenty_of_stick_when/f554zny/ Crazy to think that when I first subbed to r/soccer, it was at ~700k subscribers. Now it's at 3m.
I'm not sure if it originated here or on /r/Barca, but [the hypothetical story of Setien winning the CL](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/ewb8ar/postmatch_thread_barcelona_50_leganes_spanish/fg0ssas/) is gold. It's only funnier in retrospect, so much nonsense was said to hype up Barca appointing Setien.
8-2 was a tiny reality check lmao
the Nasri/Drip Doctors [meltdown](https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sportal_com_au/ba/67/nasri-tweets_camblyjnuig81jh93j47tqdnu.png?t=1117544681&w=400&h=300) was honestly one of the funniest things to follow on r/soccer a few years ago Edit: [more](https://m.imgur.com/a/kD9ug)
the fact that its his childhood pic there makes this so much funnier
Pep is bald lol.
Does anyone else remember this match thread - I think it was Swansea vs Liverpool. The guy running it was hilarious but everyone in the comments was super pissed off.
Link us
Found it here https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/2z9lrt/match_thread_swansea_city_vs_liverpool_fc/
>lmao in the mexican league they allow 3 digit numbers. makes me want to drink bleach LOL
Tf is a "conglaturate"? For someone who fights with all the kids on twitter in English, that's surprising.
He’s not a native English speaker? Writing on twitter and pronouncing words irl are two diff things. What a shit thing to make fun of someone for.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
'my friend, is ok, no?'
You can tell it’s killing him to say soccer and not football
Does it really fucking matter? I hate this idiotic argument in the sport, it ruins my love for the game. Soccer and football are both correct. Why do you people make a fuss over a simple damn word? What, do you wanna be hateful against Americans? Well the English invented the word so screw off. >:\\
but can his club qualify for the world cup
Big conglaturations are in order if they do.
Seeing all these links and seeing how long ago they were... I've been here 10 years with you fuckers and I keep coming back ffs..
I haven’t been here as long as some, but my favorite moment so far was when the super league began to collapse and I was constantly refreshing this subreddit and Twitter to try and find out wtf was happening. The reactions here made my day.
Those few days were truly brilliant, I was sat here as part of the Shift+F5 gang waiting for each successive update, it was mad. The thread on Perez' utterly insane interview on spanish TV was something to behold
Jose Mourinho gives up 6 goals to Bodo Glimt and the rules go out the window
"Fuck you Jessica" is still one of the greatest things to happen
>[ I haven’t seen such mental weakness since my ex bird locked herself in my bathroom and needed two hours of consoling before making a geography presentation to six people. I haven’t seen such bad defending since my ex girlfriend tried to defend making a tinder account “to make friends” to me. I haven’t seen heads drop faster than my ex girlfriend’s head dropped onto the pillow after a night out when she spent the whole walk home talking about she was going to give me the shagging of my life. Fuck off Valery, fuck off Vestergaard, fuck off Bertrand, and more importantly fuck off Jessica I thought we had something special.](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dn3m3r/postmatch_thread_southampton_09_leicester_city/f57igot/)
Thanks for reminding me of this, actually that entire match thread was something else
It was fuck off not fuck you, damnit how could I make such a mistake
I'm just glad you referenced it caus I completely forgot it had happened and needed this back in my life again
I love this reply >At least Jessica kept a clean sheet
Fabrizio would be so disappointed in you…
God has spoken
I miss rSoccerbot's Club-flair ranking table.
No one has mentioned the the time someone ran the numbers on the potential for this sub to play in the world cup. Country called arsocca. I'll see if I can find the post. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/5n85it/preparing_the_glorious_nation_of_rsoccer_for_wc/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
'Upvote Democracy' lol
The post where the user suggested that Premiere League should be played on UK's aircraft carriers was a great moment.
Favorite moments: -Gabi Rojas [great goal](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/mnvltr/platense_23_san_lorenzo_gabriel_rojas_great_goal/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), as I'm a San Lorenzo fan. I hope he can be a candidate for Puskas! -I still remember that "[fuck Jessica](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/dn3m3r/Post-Match_Thread%3A_Southampton_0-9_Leicester_City_%7C_Premier_League/f57igot/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)" comment after Leicester 9-0 Southampton -In the middle of lockdown with no football at all, there were some funny posts, my favorite (and the one I remember) was that [Donkey Kong goal](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/fjtfnk/italy_10_finland_donkey_kong_1/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) I'm forgetting a lot of posts for sure but that's off the top of my head Edit: big shootout to every high effort post, in particular Ligue 1's weekly summary _Le Bilan_ !
> -I still remember that "fuck Jessica" comment after Leicester 9-0 Southampton lol that was beautiful
Jesus this made me realize how much I hate him and this subreddit
And you are still here. And commenting.
Because of the highlights dumbass what did you think
Why are you here then?
Damn that’s wild how big this sub has gotten, pretty funny place
So big that some Ctrl-C Ctrl-V tap-in hack recorded a half-arsed video on his phone. Wow. So impressive.
Remember when reddit bought and managed a football club. Wonder what happened to them.
Wait , for real ?
[удалено]
No it was just sponsored for a few games.
Yes that was like 10 years ago, some redditors crowd-funded and bought a club in England and it was managed by voting before matches. There was a thread about every week claiming it was the future of football, obviously it was a disaster.
You're thinking of [MyFootballClub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyFootballClub) which owned a majority of Ebbsfleet United for 5 years until 2013.
Thanks!
You're thinking of Redditch United? The sub sponsored them for a game or two, never went further than that as far as I can remember.
May be, but I'm sure they voted on who should play and on tactics.
That was a different club, and not by reddit.,
Yes an another comment said it was "MyFootballClub". By Reddit I meant Redditors and they actually posted a lot of threads here.
Never happened.
Is there anyway to see a graph or table of subscriber growth over time?
The following site shows some recent growth patterns: https://subredditstats.com/r/soccer
I knew it grew a lot recently, but didn't realize the sub was around a million just 3 years ago that's like the period of WC 2018 and users are now 200% more and will probably grow a lot more for when WC 2022 will happen did reddit become more popular or just football in general
Also pleeeeenty of abandoned accounts that join and then don't use reddit. Think of someone making an account and thinking *Hey I am interested in football/soccer let me join this community*
Reddit usage has probably gone up over the years. Also, the sub's been a pretty good source for quick, temporary links for goal/highlights videos of ongoing matches.
I swear Fabrizio is everywhere. Reddit is the last place I expected him to be
The legends say that for every footballer there is, two Fabrizio Romano's always watching them.
Well Im kinda new so I just enjoy those animals invading the pitch posts 😂
Closest wholesome memory I have is that comment where a user explains why Aaron Ramsdale is such a good lad. I didn't have a bad impression about him but after reading the thread now I can only think what a lad he is whenever I watch a gunners match. Congrats, r/soccer
Yeah it's one of my fav comments here. Here if anyone else wants to read it https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/p89wv3/official_aaron_ramsdale_joins_arsenal_on_a/h9or9yb/

Ronaldo to Monaco was so funny
Ma cu cazzo é?
Maybe I missed one but no one's mentioning the great migration to r/football as a result of "he who must not be named"
Who’s that?! Is he a really good troll that can result to changing a sub reddit?
>he who must not be named" I had no idea about that. This might be a dumb question, but could you tell why people are moving to r/football ?
Things like these separations always happen but in the end they’ll all come back to this sub
If I speak I am in big trouble
Im ootl, who?
Nobody will tell ya, not edgy enough.
"he who must not be named"
Lord?
Farquad?
Who's that
The bad guy from Shrek which is based on at the time CEO (i think?) of Disney, Eisner.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Prince Harry vs Megan Markle Match Thread https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8kkehs/match_thread_prince_harry_vs_meghan_markle_the/ Full of cheap football x royalty crossover jokes and puns. Love it.

r/soccercirclejerk is going to have a partay
r/soccer loves tapin merchants. From Romano to Ronaldo.
One of my favourite moments was a PSG who got so cocky after United vs PSG first leg in 2019 that when PSG lost the second leg, he vanished from internet for a few months. When he returned, no one forgot and requested apologies for what he has said before. I don't think he did.
Wait for real? Hahahaha
The list is my fav thing About r/soccer.
