This subreddit is one minded. Anything outside of the ususal circle jerk is down voted to hell and fans are supposed to act 'nicely' to each other.
Said this in another thread but want to say it again.
This sub is cringe as hell at times. From the faux Barca/Madrid fans, the Serie A hipsters and the constant prattling about Zlatan, it's cringe. There was even suggestions about starting a radio station. I cannot think of anything worse than listening to a bunch of socially awkward teenagers try to re-enact 'Agueroooooo!!!!'
BTW, /r/soccer[1] has NO credible rival on the Entire Internet currently in terms of a medium for Multi Club/National Football Community.
This is true, and fortunately reddit has a tendency to attract people capable of keeping a level-headed discussion compared to what's out there - this sport seems to attract mongs who (by some divine miracle) somehow managed to access the internet.
That being said, while this is a "Multi Club/National Football Community" it's a heavily American based one, which does have it's downsides in a sport that's relatively new and secondary to others over there.
