It’s hard to get decent discussions going when everything is drowned out in a deluge of game highlight posts every time there are top level games happening. This stuff is relevant, but to have each game represented by a top level post is not helpful.
What community? Nobody talks about anything here. There is a bot that posts stuff that nobody responds to. Also, in /r/soccer most of these game threads would be in a separate page, not on the main /r/soccer. Occasionally an outstanding goal or highly active game thread would make it to the main page, but most of the content was links to stories/analysis.
