anyone have any stories on dealing with eurosnobs, arguments, debates or even converting one??

CR7!!!!!

I once called some people on Facebook, watching some exhibition match between some HAL club and Juventus, plastic flogs & they got angry at me.

As angry as I used to get at them, eventually you realise the HAL simply hasn't the high-ground to convert them or whathaveyou.

Once we adhere to the global model in full and they STILL don't want a bar of it...then yeah you can call them out for the gloryhunting posers they are. But no one in their right mind should be resentful @ them for wanting no truck w/the joke plastic closed-comp that's been the HAL since day one.

Who the hell is this douche?

You're not the  saviour of football. Here's how you convert them, make it better.

silly thread.

Most people I know have some love for the game. They may be casuals but if they are into football then they are into football. 

I used to hate eurosnobs now im turning into one cause our game is run by donkeys

totally agree here!

I used to watch heaps of HAL, now I am also turning into a "eurosnob" because HAL is difficult to watch because
- it is so slow and the constant back passing is boring
- its hard to sustain a relationship with a club when every season there is massive player recycling,
- it is hard to take seriously when it is the only league in the world that thinks giving Bolt a professional contract is a good idea
- there are no incentives to improve or consequences for poor performance (ie CCM's record)
- if I wanted to watch pensioners, I'd go down the local park and watch the over 35's
- the development pathway is broken

Same.

The player recycling is what shits me the most.  How many clubs has Mitch Nicholls played for?

Man have I seen some crap Euro games. Turns me off to know the millions the players get paid there. Extremely poor value for consumer money.
Rather watch the HAL.

So this mornings Juve Atleti game offered no value for money, as opposed to what MV put up last night against the seconds at Sanfrecca.

You really are delusional

I love how the eurosnobs love their euro team so much yet have never seen them play live. If you support your team go and watch them

if you were a Atleti FAN you would not of got your value for money 

True, but you cant argue that Juve havent received sufficient paybeck from their investment in Ronaldo!

Pick and choose hey lol.

The Euros put all their eggs in one basket with $100's of millions per team and yet still produce crap. Poor value for entertainment overall but if you're addicted like druggies are you'll be prepared to pay for it. At least the HAL is cheap and just as entertaining.

the man is a freak 

The best you have is the HAL is cheap, wow, thats really put me and all the 99.999% of football fans who think European leagues are better than the HAL in our place

everyone has an opinion hey and what satisfies them.

I'm the type who enjoys both, that way my eyes are wide open for there is good a bad in everything, cheap product expensive product.

Ronaldo is a freak, there are not too many running around, nor many before him.

CR7 & Messi & then there is a pretty big gap.

As a football fan I don't care who is playing, what competition they are playing in, as long as it's football I will watch it. Unfortunately many put politics and their little agenda not to help the game they profess to love.

What are these "Eurosnobs" you talk about?? 🤔

Im going to bring two points 
1. Eurosnobs just prefer better football the HAL quality just isnt there for people used to watching top quality football if the HAL was quality football and the best players played in it then would we call them HAL snobs? (of course not)  - thus the solution is to improve the HAL 

2. I dont blame anyone for not loving the HAL it is incredibility plastic. The league lacks so many things that i dont blame anyone for not taking it too seriously - No promotion/relegation, the moronic salary cap, no real community engagement and the idiotic finals play offs 

I honestly dont believe in euro snobs because they just enjoy football the way it is meant to be played....the way the rest of the world plays it (bar the MLS) 

Perhaps i am a eurosnob  but i dont mind the HAL but i honestly feel it lacks heart/banter/passion perhaps as the years go on it will continue to improve

I guess id consider myself a bit of a Eurosnob convert me? LMAO 

The problem is when youth coaches from Europe keep telling our young talent that European kids are that much better. From that moment (and if the kid agrees) you have lost 95 pct of the battle. if our young players don't atleast 'think' we are equal then we will win nothing. 

Sport is 95 pct mental

I dont reckon Cahill, Harry and Viduka ever thought they were second best.

Another loss by an Aus club in the ACL. A(nti-football) League.

The way I deal with 'eurosnobs' is by ridiculing peoples' needs to place stupid labels on things.

A League is what happens if you took European football, then took away all the talented players, then all the passion from the fans, then all the history and rivalry, then all the money and excitement and then added incompetent refs and VAR.

What is left is an boring, slow empty shell.

Sure that will convert thousands of new fans.......

Many Eurosnobs are Eurosnobs because of family history. It gives them that connection and sense of belonging. I understand where they’re coming from a little bit.
For the life of me though, I can’t fathom how the Eurosnobs with no family connection think.
