    Are Modern Football Tactics Making The Game BORING?! | The Overlap Breakdown
    Mar 20 2025
    Welcome back to The Overlap Breakdown, in this episode, we’re diving into a question that’s been floating around - has football lost its Mavericks? Has the game become too robotic, too tactical, and ultimately... boring? We’ll explore whether the modern obsession with fitness, structure, and results has stripped football of its personality, both on and off the pitch. Do managers have a duty to entertain, or is getting a result at all costs the only thing that matters? Join the debate and let us know—is football still as exciting as it once was?
