I didn’t actually.
But you’re clearly completely clueless about the culture around football here.

You’ve chosen a season where a third of the games were played behind closed doors.I haven’t a clue about Seria A but attendances average championship level is this right?

The modern experience in a PL stadium is very different to Serie A, especially away from the tourist/plastic clubs like Juventus etc. You also only get a tiny number of away fans as there are restrictions on away fans attending games - so usually they’re only a few hundred.
In the prior season it was higher at 25,000 vs 39,000 in the premier league
the real thing that sets England apart from other countries is the leagues below
championship average is 19,000 vs 7,000 U.K. the Italy second league
The experience inside the stadiums away from the likes of Juve is very different compared to England, I would image it's something similar to the 1980s still. It's the wider culture and intensity around it - the football culture is very different.In the prior season it was higher at 25,000 vs 39,000 in the premier league

I think the German 2nd tier has good crowds too mate
A lot of stadiums are council owned, which mean they don't get properly maintained.Italy's crumbling colosseums - The state of Italian football stadiums - Apollo Heyes
Whenever a casual viewer tunes into a Serie A match, theres a common set of questions that are usually asked, many of which are related to the stadium. “Why are there so many empty seats?”, “Why do so many stadiums have a running track?”, “Why is it in such bad condition?” and more. There are …www.apolloheyes.com
What kind of rental agreements do they have,could explain the condition of them , without knowing it's hard to judge,for instance if they're low could it be argued they're subsidised etcA lot of stadiums are council owned, which mean they don't get properly maintained.
I can't imagine what would happen in Verona if the council sold the stadium to a rugby club from Rome.
No idea to be honest - the Verona one probably hasn't had anything done to it since Italia '90.What kind of rental agreements do they have,could explain the condition of them , without knowing it's hard to judge,for instance if they're low could it be argued they're subsidised etc
So is a lot of countries mateeeeThe experience inside the stadiums away from the likes of Juve is very different compared to England, I would image it's something similar to the 1980s still. It's the wider culture and intensity around it - the football culture is very different.
In theory what you saying is right, but the fact you give kudos to Sweden just undermines yourself.
So all of the weaker teams should try to play gung-ho football and get battered 5-0 by the better teams than them?
You wouldn’t even make a good manager on Football Manager.
Fair play to Sweden, they play a solid 4-4-2 shape and hit teams on the counter. They have a pretty average team with a few good individuals and they make the most of it.
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A simple look at their record tells you they aren’t a bad team.
With England, we’re always blessed to have at least 1 or 2 world class players in our squad. With a nation like Sweden, they just don’t have that. Ibrahimovic was a once in a generation player for them and that Isak looks like he could develop into a really good player.
The only way nations like Sweden can compete at major tournaments is if they’re solid defensively. They’ll very rarely win in a shoot out against the major nations.
For all of the chances they gave up v Spain, on a another day they could’ve scored 2 as they squandered the best chance of the second half!
Greece won the whole thing by playing that way in 2004
How old are you ?I wasn’t alive for this tournament, but didn’t Denmark win the whole thing in ‘92 having only got their place at the tournament because Yugoslavia were disqualified?

How old are you ?
I’m closer to 30 than I am 20, is there a relevance to that question?

He’s just showing off because he’s 138.
On a serious note without lying , I wondered how old you were so I could tell you that you were too young to have a clue , and then I realised I once said Ben Stevenson would be better than James maddison so I backed out and just said "I'm intrigued " @Mucca Mad Boys
That’s fair enough! I’m too much of statto to not have a clue! Even if I’m wrong.
Ultimately, we all want England to do well and compete at these major tournaments and for too long, we haven’t got the fine margins.
On Tuesday, if we beat Germany, Southgate is a hero and genius. If we lose, the knives will be out for a lot of people.
One thing I actually like about Southgate is that he’s not giving into public opinion to play certain players. Some of the more peculiar decisions have actually paid off too e.g. starting Saka or Trippier left back.
Three Lions ‘98 has been on repeat the whole tournament!
Fuck sake we even disagree on which three lions version should be played

Long story short, all favourites lose , England sneak in on the last bend and win itWould love for Czechia to do Holland here. Open up the route even more.
