Hey everyone,
I’ve been watching soccer since the early 2000s, and I can’t help but feel like something’s changed. The game feels more commercialized now—huge transfer fees, sponsorships everywhere, and less loyalty from players. Do you think modern soccer is losing its passion?
Hey, I totally get where you're coming from. Modern soccer does feel more like a business now—with insane transfer fees, endless sponsorships, and players switching clubs frequently. Loyalty seems rare these days. That said, I still see passion in the fans and in key matches. The excitement around promotion battles, like in the Championship, is proof. Just check this out: https://thefootballfaithful.com/championship-the-favourites-to-win-play-off-promotion/ It shows that heart and ambition still drive many teams. The passion isn’t gone—it’s just evolved.
get that, but the playoffs can feel unfair to the team finishing 3rd after a long season.
