@tyzhen i see what you mean. i've been an avid football fan since mid 70s, and i can pretty easily draw the comparisons between the past and the now. you note that it started to deteriorate in early 90s and that is very true. the reason being that this is about the time when everything became overly commercialized - art, sport, movie, music and vene the human relationships. there certainly are profound reasons for such adverse change, but I don't want to analyze it at this very site.

@BlackCrowNavajo For me personally football`s golden years were between early/mid`60s until very early 1990s. Before that the things were rather crude, in some aspects primitive. Even most notable football events at that time looked like something between a provincial circus and a neighborhood quarrel. While after that came the time of what we described in our previous comments. Maybe 90% of the greatest games, players, coaches, teams and tournaments were during the period that I marked above.

@tyzhen you're absolutely right! I hate to seem a mumbling old man who tends to criticise everything new in favor of everything old, but very objectively speaking - the footbal was Tthe game, the fight, the rivalry back in those days. And the players were devoted to please to fans with their skills, not with their glamour girlfriends and posh commercials...

[tyzhen]

@BlackCrowNavajo A match now days that ends, let`s say, 2:2 will be less interesting than a 0:0 from the time 30-40 years ago. At least back in those days people were not supposed to watch a bunch of pansies who care more for their hair gel and discotheque adventures than for the game.

[BlackCrowNavajo]

one the very few games in the football history, that ended scoreless but was absolutely fantastic to watch from minute 1 to minute 90!
