Just watch an average Premier League game from the 2000s. Winning even a single league title in that era must’ve felt like climbing a mountain.

Look at the intensity. This is fucking football. Not that backwards passing between CBs and keepers

average? this is prime united vs prime chelsea lmao..

Rooney is underrated. Playing elite defense and offense is something I’ve learned to appreciate this World Cup.

Average? That was prime United vs prime Chelsea. Insane take

This wasn't an average game. The 2 teams met in the UCL finals in 2008, and could have met again in 2009 were Chelsea not robbed against Barcelona. These were 2 of the best teams in Europe at the time

Guy Just see Rooney Everywhere in the pitch Such an underrated player

The most notable thing is players didn't dive the whole time.

Football has fallen now

This is the reason I can't watch football anymore. Call me unc but football peaked here

Not gonna lie football is dead this days, this is football. Foward movements, attacking instincts everywhere, in the defenders, midfielders and attacker. Now it's just pass, pass until you find an opening instead of them to forcefully create the openings.

Park had some insane speed back then

Man, Park was criminally underrated

United winning 13 Premier League seems pretty hard

That’s why we are the king of England

Look at how much more fun it wqs too Get the ball go forward as fast as you could

Even the mid-table matches were high level and very entertaining

The main thing I'm noticing is there's no flopping.

When football was still football Not this shit show PGMOL is running

And Chelsea are humbled and humiliated at Old Trafford. So the thing didn't even start today 🤣 But what happened to men? Look how everyone played with strength and passion 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yeah, I think Ferguson himself said that winning the league was more important than the Champions League and it was widely agreed so

Those years it will feel like you are going to war. Even to win against Wigan will take sweat and blood.

Wayne Rooney was a demon Thank you for reminding me

Yet United did it 13timed

I didn't see any grabbing, pushing pulling, punching, elbowing, jumping on, or kicking the other team. Just kicking the ball around. Are you sure this is football?

Gone are those days.

Pure football then

I’m telling you

When football was football Teams are strong, keepers are legendary, every game felt like you were watching a World Cup game, pure adrenaline

Look at that game. No diving. Players trying to stay on their feet. Wholehearted challenges and player respect. Every player trying to go forward and tons of crosses into the box. Intense speed of play. Wtf has football become

Classic match

Average? I see Rooney and Ronaldo on that team. Hardly an "average" game!

The players then were much committed

The play with passion

Football is boring now

See that Evra’s Cross, that’s elite crossing skill, good whip minimum follow through pin point

Noticed non of them did back pass?

This is the football we fell in love with. B4 the 4ft midget and his fan boys from FIFA to journalists started a campaign to get everyone to play tiki taka. Tiki taka ruined football
