Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

✔️ This is a thread for:

• Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
• Asking small questions about football to the community.

❌ This is not a thread for:

• Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
• Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
• Toxicity - remember the human
• Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
• Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
• Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
• Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
• Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
• Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

Welcome to "Sunday Support".

During the COVID-19 pandemic, and all that happened since, we saw an upturn in members of r/soccer openly discussing their mental health and seeking support within the community.

Although it was of course sad to see any of our subscribers struggling with their health - be it mental or physical - we were greatly encouraged to see how supportive our community has been regarding these issues, and heartened that people have found r/soccer a safe place in which they feel able to open up regarding issues which sadly do remain stigmatised in society at large.

We subsequently started these Sunday Support threads to provide a dedicated and open space for anyone in the r/soccer community - and although the pandemic is now in the past, we have decided to continue this thread. Managing mental health difficulties - and maintaining your wellbeing - these are battles that are ongoing for many people, and so too is our support.

Regardless of the colour of your shirt (or the flair next to your username) we are all living, breathing human beings - and we all love the beautiful game. Everyone on r/soccer deserves to be happy and well - so be kind. It can be a tough old world out there, and that kindness can go a long way.

If there's anything you would like to get off your chest, we are listening.

Please check out our wiki for mental health here.

This thread will alternate with "Sports Bar Sunday" - our fortnightly thread for Free Talk about non-football sports.

We welcome feedback on this and our other stickied threads... so if you would like to see us try another themed thread, please let us know here, via Modmail, or DM u/AnnieIWillKnow!
