Scoring late against Panama and sending Mexico to the World Cup was idiotic. Mexico missing that World Cup would have set their national team back, should have called off the dogs

Now Mexico is once again Kings of Concacaf handing the USA their arse in any competition that matters. Mexico have a deep and talented squad and look poised to make a run at the Copa America on United States soil. Sad

This board in general has gone down hill the last few years.

Almost reddit like at times. What made it worse was the upvote/downvote. Before it was around people would actually reply back and debate with some substance. Now they would rather just down vote people b/c they either have nothing to say or just b/c they don't like a poster.

That and the personal attacks around here are way up. People just rather attack a person b/c they can't reply with anything else. I know we get more and more new posters learning the game but that's not how this board used to be.

We could use a daily "Jurgy's dumb decision of the day" post. Really.

I mean, he's a national team manager, so some days it may be that he skipped his skim no whip Chai or something cause he has nothing to do. But many days, it would be "started a completely new back four against one of the best attacking teams in the world for the opener of a major tournament".

Beating Panama was absolutely not on Jury though.

Blame Santo Zusi.

Posters like DS use it to validate themselves....

My point is adding that feature actually helps enable intellectual laziness. People would rather just down vote something they don't like even if the poster is correct and not engage in the debate.

Mexico being good had nothing to do with us being unable to beat the likes of Panama and Jamaica in the Gold Cup.

Regardless of what happens to Mexico in 2014, our team has made noticeable regressions in the past year. We've done that on our own.

Some little Spurs fan has been downvoting every post in the Arsenal thread since the last day of the season

Meh. You don't have to engage with bad posts or the up/down vote. It's possible to just ignore stuff. A lot of times, the downvotes and the replies to bad posts are just giving the poster what he or she wants. Everything doesn't demand a response.

There are still plenty of good posters and good discussions on here.

Yes but its a reason this place has gone down hill. Even if a poster is correct people would rather just vote rather than engage in a discussion.

Of course there is but compared to a while back not so much.

I forgot who said it but they said this place use to be high level internet

I don't think it's a Spurs fan. It's been happening in the Liverpool and United threads as well.

but who actually looks at upvotes and downvotes? Maybe it's just me but i never even think to look at them (nor do i care).

It's just a silly button.

I know some of us don't care but you see some posters who do that even go as way are editing their post when its getting down voted into oblivion.

I agree and it actual can hinder discussions on this board.
