*SPOILER FREE* Match Ratings & Downloads
« on: August 11, 2017, 08:02:26 pm »
They have a thread like this on the Football Highlights Reddit Subforum.

The basic idea is that if you see a game and you enjoy it, mention it here and provide a link (if you have one) to download the game. I follow the Reddit one during the season and download most of the highly rated games to watch when I have time. It´s a good way to make sure I see plenty of games to keep an eye on promising new players while also making sure I actually see good matches in the process.

Please try to put all bias aside. The suggested ratings (not obligatory but you can use them as a guidance).
0-4 bad match, not worth your time
5 average/ok game
6 decent match, perhaps worth your attention
7 great match, worth watching
8 non-stop action and/or lots of goals
9 game of the year contender
10 instant classic

And of course please adhere strictly to the no spoilers request in the title. If you want to dispute the rating someone has posted for a game, post your own rating and take the subsequent conversation to PM if you want to find a happy middleground.

Thanks everyone. Here´s hoping for another season full of scintillating games like the Bayern v Leipzig game, the last El Classico, both legs of PSG v Barca, Monaco v City and many many others.

Good thread. Looking forward to recommendations.

05-Aug-2017 German Super Cup
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich


8.5 / 10

Although could just be the absence of good football over the summer and having Utd v Real Madrid as the most recent comparison :D

Great thread, living in Oz now it's difficult to watch matches live but I like watching full match replays without knowing the score..

Obviously it's shit when there's an 0-0 or a really boring game so this is ideal.

Great thread! Just posting to follow updates, and I'll probably relay some games from the French Ligue 1 as well.
What do Fernando Hierro, Carles Puyol, Philipp Lahm, Andres Iniesta, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Jordan Henderson share in common?

Same here. I moved to Brazil years back and it become very hard to watch any football and most streams were shit. Past few years though its become possible to download full match replays pretty easily and almost right after the game ends too. Championship games are still very hard to source though, which is a shame as it´s one of the most competitive leagues in Europe with more supporters than most top flight leagues.

13-Aug-2017 Spanish Super Cup
Barca v Real Madrid


9 / 10

The game itself is probably an 8, maybe 8.5. But I marked it up because it´s El Classico.

Shouldn't it be 4.5 since it's only half of the year contender?  :lickin

Reddit have a new thread here for those interested. Has scores for a number of games I won´t be watching. Sounds like the Italian Super Cup is worth a watch (Lucas & Luis Alberto´s Lazio vs Juventus). I saw the result this morning (hate spoilers!) so I just watched the highlights instead.

Opening game of Bundesliga season 2017-18.

18-8-2017.
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen 04

I’d give this a rating of:

6.5/10

Pretty open game with plenty of attacking play partly played in a torrential downpour :D

And a chance to see a one time LFC target Julian Brandt in action.

Cheers Die Nullfünfer. :)

no worries :)

Today's offering:

Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga - 19 August 2017

Disclaimer, I only saw half the game, cos I was watching the Liverpool game. So I saw the first half an hour, and 15 mins of the 2nd half, so my rating is based on that.

I will give it:

7/10

Some good attacking football, an entertaining and enjoyable game - of what I saw of it.
