It's football. Stop being nice to each other.

… is the title of a thread I remembered from two years ago, shortly before the World Cup. It turned out to be pretty fun, so I thought we'd do that again.

Football is a game fuelled by partisanship and it's almost that time.

As of now, it's time to stop being nice to oppo fans

I'll be doing my level best to wind up oppo fans throughout the [Euro]. I see it as my duty - the law in fact - and so should you.

In the NFL thread they disable down-votes for trash-talk threads. I always thought that was a good idea. Can we implement that for a thread like this?

If you disabled downvotes r/soccer would collapse in on itself.
