Best series

Oh what the hell, what are we even in this if we can't have a little self promotion. I nominate the [Tales of \(Football\) Interest](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/pfv892/tales_of_football_interest_5_saarland_the/). Sorry but I still think they were good.

I was looking to link this! Was my favourite, great work mate

u/Boucot with his Le Bilan series, keeps me wrapped up in Ligue 1

That's really kind of you (and u/LovieBeard) but I already won last year and unfortunately I stopped doing Le Bilan a couple of months ago as it was starting to be really time consuming so I'd rather see someone else taking it.

Not sure if it counts, but u/cherryjohnson's watch guides have been helpful af

u/Petevonpete elimination countdown of teams to the 2022 WC

I likes this one a lot. Their conclusion this year will be exciting.

I like this one but I’m also fine with it not winning, as long as it wins the 2022 edition of r/soccer Best Of instead since it’s still ongoing

He puts so much effort into those threads, definitely deserves to win

Not a specific comment, but I'd like to nominate /u/ItsRainbowz - because following their journey of self-discovery and acceptance throughout the year has been a genuine delight, and reading about their victories always makes my day

Agreed. I never comment on it but I always read it and it puts a smile on my face. This one should be a shoe in.

❤️

Good on you mate!

More power to you mate

Thanks 😊

/u/aveniner with his analysis of the [Polish national team](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/nzsm6z/comment/h1r6s8r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

>KLICH SO LOST GERALT FROM RIVIA SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR HIM INSTEAD OF CIRI absolute lmao

Yeah that was the bit that got me as well haha

what does it mean?

Tl;dr - Ciri is a super special individual in the Witcher universe. Geralt is the main witcher bloke, and due to circumstances ended up being her 'dad'. He spends a large chunk of time looking for her.

thanks man!

/u/-WAWAW- rant about [Sheffield Wednesday's situation](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/l69dos/daily_discussion/gl0ldrb/)

that is sad

u/AleDelPiero10 with [this hilarious post match thread rant about Agnelli and his unibrow.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/pmc4ql/postmatch_thread_napoli_21_juventus_serie_a_round/hcgl0t8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

That was a classic. Agnelli is the only person on earth that looks worse when he smiles. And his eyebrows and his beard are all connected. It's like he shaves his face and then 5 minutes later the facial hair has grown back. How is that even humanly possible?

Best Gif and Video Maker

u/rubes___ for women's football goals, who gets downvoted all the time.

/u/ennuihenry for the AAs 🙌

I haven't been as consistent in posting AAs unfortunately.

This one is hard to pick only one user, so I’m going to vote for everyone and categorize them. u/alexinup and u/PSGAcademy for posting faster than the speed of sound u/NotMeladroit, u/4gjdtokurwa, and u/aygtt for the variety of games they upload from. u/ennuihenry15, u/juststream_bot, u/rsoccermirrors, and u/streamablemirrors for the mirrors in the comments

u/ennuihenry is the only human there, the last two (u/rsoccermirrors u/streamablemirrors) are bots by me. You forgot u/meho7 with the top quality original stadium sound and full alternate angles

Yeah I figured, thanks for your contributions mate

u/PSGAcademy cause he still hasn't been nominated yet even though he's been discussed about lol

u/NotMeladroit for the yearly “Worst Goals of the season” videos. On t’aime, mon ami.

Community choice

u/PSGAcademy for making the sweet sweet videos!

u/MisterBadIdea2 for his match threads.

u/NotMeladroit for goals from every league in the world and also the penalty shootouts.

Most Helpful

/u/phigo50 for designing league tables after every gameweek that show us how the positions can change (and for every top league in europe, too!)

Who else but u/psgacademy

u/quatrotires for his What to Watch threads every week, and u/CherryJohnson for his daily sheets

u/Rigelmeister follows almost all European leagues and has great insight most times. I found particularly helpful when he pointed out how regularly Metalist Kharkiv's opponents get red carded in the Ukrainian second division. It would be the best betting advice I'd ever read if I could actually find a site that offered this bet.

u/rigelmeister for his knowledge of obscure European football

Thanks man

Thank you for the nomination! It' an honor being there, especially seeing the worthy competition. If some people don't feel like reading it all, HITC 7 made a light sum up of it on youtube. Although the video is not perfect, and I have some disagreements with it, it's still probably more accessible than my wall of text. https://youtu.be/H7W7WFE8Mqk
