Which Row Is Closer To A Football Field 15 Or 17

Which football club has the biggest fanbase?

So, let's give this answer a good old fashioned run:Global ClubsFundamentally, there are 15 clubs which I would call "global". England (6). Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham.Spain (2). Real Madrid, Barcelona.France (1). Paris Saint Germain.Germany (2). Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund.Italy (4). Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan.(There are clubs in other leagues such as Benfica, Porto, Celtic, Rangers, Olympiakos, etc. which are important, but in my mind wouldn't qualify, as well as outside of Europe teams like LA Galaxy, Santos, Boca Juniors, River Plate, etc. which are important, but definitely not in this tier.)These clubs have global footprint, they have a global fan base, you'll see their jerseys in every city, etc. Whatever the top club is, it's probably here.So let's do this - we're going to measure by combining the follower ranks on 3 social media sites: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The most popular club on Instagram gets 15 points, the lowest gets 1 point, then we just total points, ok?Let's see how the math turns out:(Follower counts as of November 29th, 2015)And after my rankings are applied (tiebreak is head-to-head on who won the most social media sites):So in the end, it's pretty easy:Barcelona. #1 in followers on Facebook & Instagram, and #2 on Twitter, in the 120M+ club with Real Madrid.Real Madrid. Neck and neck with Barcelona, but, like recent history, Barcelona is just slightly better.Manchester United. An impressive 81M followers across all the sites, much better than Chelsea's 54M and Arsenal's 45M, but nowhere near Barcelona & Real Madrid. Chelsea.Arsenal.Bayern Munich.Liverpool.Paris Saint Germain.AC Milan.Juventus.Manchester City.Borussia Dortmund.Tottenham.AS Roma.Inter Milan.In hindsight, maybe Tottenham, AS Roma and Inter shouldn't have made the list.

What are some of the best football photos?

#1 One man against 4Nothing to see here. Just a picture of Lionel Messi doing what he does best - making his opponents look like fools.#2 The end of Cristiano RonaldoThis is the cover of the 22nd May,2016 issue of Sport, a pro FC Barcelona newspaper based in Spain. Its headline reads ‘The End’, clearly implying the end of Ronaldo’s dominance as one of the best footballers in the world.6 days after this issue was published Real Madrid won the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League title with Ronaldo scoring the winning penalty in the shootout. He went on a trophy winning frenzy after that, winning another Champions League title, 1 La Liga, 2 FIFA Club World Cups, a Super Copa de Espana, a UEFA Super Cup with Real Madrid and the Euro 2016 with Portugal. He has also scored a total of 80 goals and won the Ballon d’Or twice since his apparent ‘end’.#3 Life comes a full circleWhat do you see in this picture? A young boy desperately holding Steven Gerrard’s hand, probably asking for an autograph. But what makes this picture special is not Stevie G’s presence but the boy. “Who is he?” you may ask. He is none other than Mateo Kovacic, Real Madrid and Croatia’s golden boy. Quite ironically, Liverpool identified him as a potential replacement for Gerrard in May 2015 as they planed the latter’s farewell from Anfield that year. Kovacic eventually ditched Liverpool opting to go to Real Madrid. Life definitely came a full circle there.#4 An incredible comeback by the underdogsWhen Deportivo la Coruna faced AC Milan in the quarter finals of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, nobody probably thought that they could go on to the next round, especially after having lost the first leg 4–1. It was not just because they had to overcome a huge 3 goal deficit to qualify for the semi finals but also because of the sheer difference in the quality of the two sides.But the second leg turned the tie and convention on its head as Deportivo thrashed Milan 4–0 to complete an unexpected 5-4 aggregate win and reach the semi final, losing to eventual winners Porto.#5 Talking about underdogs, how about a picture of the biggest underdog story in recent sports history?Leicester City, 2015–16 Premier League champions

Who is the all time best footballer?

The people who have answered here are mostly younger people bred on La Liga which is why it’s skewed towards CR7 and Messi.You see, a decade ago there existed a man who was called ‘a herd’ who whipped around defenses for fun, rounded off keepers and slotted goals with alarming frequency and did this in leagues around the world (Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain).At the age of 21, he was the greatest footballer of his time on the verge of accomplishing a destiny that almost seemed a formality before a notorious meltdown on the biggest stage. Conspiracy theories floated, the world was puzzled. Even worse a year later his knees snapped.. twice. The dream seemed to be over.But against the odds, he returned in 2002 replacing speed with power and fulfilled the prophecy to lead his country to the grandest prize of them all.Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima was truly the greatest soccer player to grace the game.A problem that exists today is teams are lopsided due to no restrictions on salaries. A rich club can virtually purchase all the talent they wish. Messi and CR7 are magnificent players in their own right and possess stats that are almost irreplaceable. The real deal truly is how well a player performs when he has to make up for lesser talented teammates. And this is where you can draw a clear distinction. You can win all the league accolades you can, but unless you inspire your country to glory it will all seem pointless because the greatest prize is the World Cup. And here both CR7 and Messi have failed time and time again. Heck they even failed to win the Copa/Euro. Speaks volumes of their ineffectiveness when the dice is loaded against them.Ronaldo conquered different styles of play with ease. He won honors for every club which showcased his ability to rise above his circumstances. And most importantly, he rose from the rubble and conquered the world.This is my opinion and others may see it differently!

What's one rule in football (soccer) you'd change?

What's one rule in football (soccer) you'd change?It’s probably not an answer you’re thinking of, but it’s one that bugs me a little. The away goal rule in extra-time of a knockout round of club football.Say it’s a Champions League knock-out game and it has gone to extra-time. Well, the away team now has the advantage of just needing to score one goal because the home time would have to score twice to progress. That is, the away team has 30 extra minutes to get an away goal compared to the home team (i.e. the home team had 90 minutes to score away goals in the first leg).I’ve heard the argument that the home team then has 30 extra minutes of home-field advantage in extra-time which cancels out the aforementioned away-goal advantage of the away team, but I just don’t think that weighs as heavily as the away goal rule. Hence, I say that in knock-out rounds in club football, the scores should reset to 0–0 and whoever wins progresses. If it’s a draw, it goes to penalties.What say you?(I wanted to jokingly answer with something about VAR, but that would have been a bit too cheeky)

Which are the best seats to see a football (soccer) match?

Having worked for the Los Angeles Galaxy, I feel like I could answer this question with some authority, if it weren't a trick question. The answer is in your love for the game. If you go to watch soccer at the StubHub Center for the play of the game, that is if you like to analyze formation, than you want to be on the West side of the stadium, as high up as you can go. If, on the other hand, you go to be watch the players of the game, than you would sit as low as you can. Many David Beckham fans rejoiced at their proximity to the famed footballer during his years there.There is really not a bad seat in the house, as it was a stadium built FOR soccer. Try to avoid the East side if you can. Games played in daylight hours suffer from the glare of the sunset in the West. On cold spring and fall nights, the wind whips over the west side and blows onto the East, so bundle up with a heavy jacket. Prices are reasonable for the East side and on the end lines, but most expensive on the West side.
