People unnderestimate how much the lighter modern ball changed shooting technique, you can really whip it with the instep now.

Football has evolved a lot with tech like VAR and advanced analytics, which help with fair play and strategy. Tactically, teams are now more versatile, often shifting formations mid-match to adapt to opponents.

Honestly the lighter ball is a bigger deal than VAR for how the game actually feels, you can hit those diping shots from 30 yards now which was almost impossible with the old leather bricks back in the day

Sometimes I watch old matches and the pitch looks so slow and heavy, like everyone is running in mud. The pressing now is just relentless compared to even the early 2000s. Feels like tactics moved from chess to something more like a swarm.

The tactical side now feels like it's all about managing space instead of just trying to score, data has made the game a bit too rigid honestly.

There are too many changes in football that, in my personal opinion, tend to erode the traditional characteristics that have long existed.
