Okay so as im playing the community shield on fifa and im wonderinger. Why do a lot of people (fans, pundits) write off the community shield as a meaningless trophy or a just a friendly? I mean it the English Supercup, winner of the league vs winner of the domestic cup. Every other league seems to care about Supercups and theres also the important European Supercup.
It’s big enough to be mentioned by literally every single club’s honours lists so I’d count it as a trophy, just one that we all agree is the least important out of all affiliated trophies available to top flight clubs. Call it the Super Cup like every other European Nation and it wouldn’t sound quite as low-key as it does. Not sure why charity’s receiving some income from the game as well makes any difference to its reputation.
