10 Weird Stereotypes In Modern Football

10 Weird Stereotypes In Modern Football

Stereotypes are funny, and oftentimes, illogical, but we see them everywhere, even in our favorite sport. As a matter of fact, football has some of the craziest stereotypes you’ve ever heard of, and we’re here to look at some of them today.
These are 10 weird stereotypes in football.
Perhaps the most popular stereotype in football is that players from African origins are strong and fast. Most fans see a player with African blood and automatically expect him to win every duel and feel no pain.
Another really funny stereotype is that players from Brazil should be skillful. Brazil is known for Samba, flair, and beautiful trickery with the ball, so many of us have unconsciously come to expect every big player from there to be unbelievably skillful no matter the position he plays.
Speaking of nationalities, there’s this ongoing stereotype that English players are overhyped. Fans see a young English player getting some accolades from the media and automatically assume he’s only getting recognition because he’s English.

People think tall players aren't fast when the fastest athlete of all time was literally over 6ft tall

The English players is 100% accurate and it's the reason why the national team had always been a serial bottlers, even with fairly underrated manager (Gareth Southgate).
Asking about the Farmers League, this seems to be out of range for at least this season. We see notable surprises like Aston Villa breaching the Top 4 in Premier League, Girona breaching Madrid-Barca duopoly in La Liga, and Bayer Leverkusen seeking for the first Bundesliga title (and ending Bayernliga monopoly).

You forgot the stereotype that left footers are great at shooting. I'm left-footed myself, and I'm decent, but that doesn't mean that every left-footed person is good at shooting. I've seen videos online about how everyone is trying to be better at shooting, and once they start talking about left footers, they make it look like we can bang it in top bins everytime we shoot😂.

Kante is actually pretty good with the ball.

[lorenzolalli]

asian players with stamina is kinda tru tho

[brandyomondi]

To all lads serie A is just underated😮

[VISCA_BARCA]

The one about shorts players wouldn't make sense as that would mean that
The entire Guatemala National Team besides the keeper would be kings at dribbling

[RANDOMFACTS-cz]

I think y players from the English league don't win the ballan dor
Is because it's actually difficult to score more than 25 goals in a single season
I mean over the last 10 years it's been a few that have actually hit 30 goals in the perm in a single season

Nice to see Primera Liga and Eredivisie get respect

[Isa]

As a di maria fan he's not always cool calm and collected same with de bruyne

[Jack.H]

When he said ‘they can boast about the goat’ sentence came out, it’s like ok cool he won all his ballon d’ors in Europe and was Prime at Barca….

[GEORGELIMZHENGYI]

to be fair to Manchester City though, the premeir league is named most competitive because any club could pull a Leicester any time

[SKENT]

I was cross country champion after playing football everyday, stamina in not built in the gym and though treadmills help that's should always be the second option

[sindiso]

Calling the premier league non-competitive is just crazy

[LenardAtuti]

Kante's dribbling is not that bad

[timlee]

One is that a fan only supports a team because a good player from their country plays there.

[Isa]

Small players are usually better at dribling then large big players but it depends on ur position like obviously small cb won't be better
Driberles

[FIFAStreet.]

The one about south American footballers is very true but i will see some few players who don't play that way at all

[peaceolufemi]

I hear about the Brazilian one very often
I am a Barcelona fan and have heard people calling Raphinha "Fake Brazilian"
