Also feels like players are steadily getting more and more technically proficient. In the 90s players like Baggio and Hagi stood out for their touch and control, but modern players have a combination of technical ability and physicality which makes some passages of play totally mesmerising. Compare some of the intricate passing today to, for example, Brazil's 'wonder goal' in the 70s (Carlos Alberto) - a different game entirely.

Each to their own but personally think this one has inhibited the progress of the game
Teams have become so obsessed with passing and passing that a key component of the game, dribbling and having a go at the defence has almost become alien. Pace and trickery terrifies defenders yet you seldom see it nowadays. How many “wingers” actually exist anymore?
Almost think to some extent, certainly the higher ends of the pyramid, football has become like chess, too strategic and too tactical, and lost its spontaneity factor. Could see the argument that players have become better but personally think it’s come as a consequence to the entire game

SutekhTiagoIlori The fact you can get minute by minute match updates without being in the same continent, let alone at the stadium.
Wasn’t that long ago when the best we had was teletext or later on, the BBC website if we wanted to find out the latest scores.
Ceefax was brilliant though, still wish it was a thing, much better than the irritating Saturday afternoon "pundit" fests you get now!

It was, miss the suspense of finding out the scores. Having the odd game available on freeview was pretty nice until sky sports took over as well.

you know you can get mugs made with a ceefax image of your favourite famous football result? I got one made for my brother and got the Reading 0-0 Yeovil score on it when Yeovil had 3 players sent off. Lol.
