ive always kinda wanted to get into soccer/football, dont care what you wanna call it, wanted to support man utd because i had their jersey when i was like 10
and ive wanted to get into f1 and support mclaren for lando norris
but ive never really been able to get into them cause idk where to start/idek if id actually like watching either one
edit: also wanted to get into baseball at a point, but never got there
Give me your tip.
alr bro acc how do i get into these things, i feel like people just get into them since childhood but i never had taht sort of attachment
lowk i think besides the jersey i liked man utd because ronaldo was playing for them at the time
no matter if you know how the game works or not
watch man uniteds next game
and keep watching their games
eventually you'll get the game
you can also watch the champions league games too but i dont think man u are in that
for f1 honestly drive to survive is a really good way to get people super interested in the drivers, teams and stories (as manufactured they are). Getting into football is harder as the whole enjoyment for most people is the love you have for your club, normally local, you can't really force it. The games themselves arent exactly high octane so if you dont already find the game interesting its hard to get into. I say this as someone who has had a season ticket for my local club for my whole life
ill try out drive to survive later, sounds interesting
and yeah i assumed that football has fans for the local clubs more than anything else so its probably difficult for me to get into it
but ima try it too ig
ty goat
While DTS does help by telling the stories of teams/drivers the problem with it is that it is so different than the actual sport, people just end up getting into DTS and not the actual sport. I've seen this happen to multiple of my friends.
I can only really talk for football but
i personally got back into it slowly by just watching highlights of teams that interest me, and then that evolved into a general interest for the game, which lead to wanting to learn more about it (because I am a moron when it comes to the history and tactics of football) I can't speak much for the tactics side, but I really enjoy watching the storytelling/history side of football YouTube with creators like HITC Sevens, Football Iconic, occasionally vizeh, and then maqwell for slightly more comedic videos
and that increased my interest to the point that I want to watch full games
but if you just care about your team specifically, just learn the players, some of the history, and what they're fighting for right now.
or just watch the games if none of that sounds interesting lol
only certain thing is don't touch football twitter with a 10 foot pole
honestly i dont think id understand a word if i watched any analytical/historical content on the sport because i have 0 ball knowledge besides what i know from blue lock
ima try watching some highlights ig, will see the man utd roster later
i dont use twitter anyways so im safe on that, but ive seen football fans on twitter, theyre insufferable
ty ❤️
become a liverpool fan instead
also start playing things, even if its just joining a casual club for something.
For football, join a local football club. For F1 go go-karting.
playing something, no matter what skill level you are, will make you appreciate how good the top-level is, therefore making it more entertaining because you can appreciate the skill and co-ordination of pros
you a liverpool fan?
ill take a look at all the teams later ig, but highly likely that the one ill support is man utd if i do get into the sport, only other one i have any attachment to is chelsea cause i had their jersey too
will look at liverpool though 😊
and yeah makes sense, doubt id be into vct nearly as much if i didnt actively play valorant myself
ima try go-karting when i can, ive always wanted to
yes WE are both liverpool fans. Lowkey Liverpools fanbase pre-Klopp reminds me a lot of 100Ts current fanbase
so basically if i was to become a liverpool fan i would deal with depression from TWO teams instead of 1!
thank you for this great gift nooomy ❤️
nah not in this day and age lmao im talking pre-2015, growing up as a Liverpool fan.
Liverpool today are undisputed as the most successful team in England and are neck-and-neck with Man United for "Biggest" club (which includes fanbase and cultural impact)
how do you feel about slot
I'm curious because I haven't seen a single Liverpool fan say they want him to stay in the last few months
I think he should go at the end of the season, obviously be respectful as he won us the league but at the same time he aint built for a club like Liverpool.
I think a part of it is the reality vs expectation coming into this season, winning the league, spending £450M, even the Shankly/Paisley comparisons that him/Klopp had where one laid the foundation for the other to dominate. so obviously people are gonna be reactionary because of the expectations
But also I think that seeing how someone reacts under pressure shows the true nature of their character. Arne was really well liked last season, partially because it was plain sailing, the tactics were working and he was getting peak performances from Salah and Gravenberch (who Klopp couldnt even get the best out of). Even when we hit that terrible patch of form after the PSG loss, people chalked it up to complacency because they had nothing to play for.
Fast forward to this season, tactics aside, I think Arne has shown he aint really cut out to lead a club with as much pressure as Liverpool. You can see it during press conferences when they underperform, he will make excuses, lack accountability, lash out at media and supporters etc.
Maybe this sounds harsh but being a manager at a Liverpool, or a United, or Real Madrid, you cant really focus on just tactics. You also need to be able rally millions of fans. The key difference between Klopp and Slot is that when Liverpool hit rough patches before, no-one but a few people were Klopp out because he knew what to say to keep the fans happy. Whereas you are right about Slot in that he has lost the trust of the core part of LFC supporters, and I think that ultimately the owners will prioritise keeping the fans happy because its easy to scapegoat the manager rather than keep one guy but ultimately alienate your fanbase
all that yap just to say #VamosXabi
agreed honestly
it's a strange thing but I've always felt that his vibes just do not match the club at all
He just looks out of place at Liverpool
maybe that's just because I quite like klopp
For f1 you should just start watching highlights on youtube first, if you straight up start watching full races you will be bored. For football just watch the team which plays good football currently they will grow on you eventually.
i tried watching highlights sometime ago and got the knowledge that lando norris won the recent trophy or smth
how has a team won a trophy before i even started supporting them in f1 but my bum ass valorant team is still trophyless
genuinely idk how people get into stuff like f1 or football (both american and regular) or sports in general without having a parental figure that was already into it
Yeah honestly I always just assumed this kinda interest in this stuff was mostly thanks to exposure during childhood which I didn’t have
DON'T root for man utd
root for bayern instead
if u want to get into f1 root for mercedes instead they look better rn
for baseball u should root for the Dodgers
make a fresh tiktok acc and follow soccer accnts then just doom scroll for like 3 hrs for 21 days you'll get obssessed with it. I did the same thing for Aviation and now im studying it lol
yup it is
i suggested this cause you told you wanted to get into basketball but u never did
nahh basketball aint for me, my sister was always into that but i dont like it
🥲its ok js start from watching content from sum funny1 and eventually will understand like mbappe is dictator meme or like dat and in like few years youll enjoy it naturally
whenever i hear mbappe i get reminded fo this

become a wolves fan. literally any form of a win (or most draws) provide you with max dopamine because they barely ever happen
ehhh i suppose i can take a look but i have 0 attachment to wolves
im more likely to support man utd or chelsea
you should become a forest fan instead of a united fan because we're gonna win the europa league
nahhhh im not a bandwagoner
that jersey's gonna carry my loyalty to the team
if you are from england, cricket must be pretty decent there. The IPL starts in a few week but i genuinely dont think any mfs outside India gaf abt it. So yeah maybe try another sport 😭
imo choosing a team is the first key step, cuz you won't get invested otherwise
even if it is just bandwagoning, if there is at least one thing that attracts you about some team then you should follow them
it will be easier to choose what highlights to watch, what games to watch,also helps to first get familiar with players on your team, then their competitors, then you'll understand why one is highly valued and the other is not in comparison
you follow some social media pages (if its football then 433 for example) to get more familiar as well, then if you're interested you'll start watching random youtube videos with lore of the sports or just who's relevant today
that's how it was with me for nba at least - i started watching it in 2021 and i obviously chose to support gsw. i was bandwagoning hard with curry being my favorite player initially, but after getting more familiar with the game in general i switched up to supporting another team and having another player as my favourite (i still got some warm feelings towards gsw tho). some people stick through all the way, but not doing that is fine too imo, cuz at the end of the day your preferences are your preferences
yeah ive chosen man united for now
and mclaren for f1
im gonna check out some highlights and watch the match tmr
ty goat ❤️
watch the argentina vs france final so you can understand the magic of the world cup (theres one this year so you can get more acquainted with it)
https://youtu.be/etHcWGAroew?t=14670 (in case you dont find a english one theres this brazilian video that shows the full match)
theres a couple dozen playoff matches that are absolutelly nuts if you want to go deeper too
tysm goat, that video you sent isnt available in my country but ill look for another stream ❤️
