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.
For viewers it doesn’t really matter, you can just treat it with as much importance as you want.
But I reckon it’s a big deal for players. They may also dismiss it as “just a pre-season game” prior to the game, but when it actually comes around they can’t help but feel the weight of it. Wembley full house, playing in front of the royals, and typically against a team who’s going to be a title rival in the upcoming season… it ends up becoming an intense match.
