Re: Which Decade is Considered the Golden Era of Football?
As a fan the 2010s were probably the best due to all my teams reaching success. Real winning 4 cls, Peru reaching the WC and final of the Copa America, Alianza lima winning the Peruvian league etc.
However I think the golden age has to be given the 2000s. Football expanded its world wide marketability that began in the 90s and reached new heights. Footballing wise there was so many great talents that made the sport very watchable.
The 2010s were great too, but I'm willing to bet that in 30 years if you asked a casual what they remember about that decade they would instantly give you the Messi v. Ronaldo rivalry and rightfully so. These 2 dominates competitions (at the club level) and increase the prestige of the world cup despite those 2 underperforming. However, I'm sure most old school fans disliked that Messi and Ronaldo dominated the decade and attention was taken away from other leagues and world class players also suffered due to the rivalry and the constant hype FIFA and the media gives to the rivalry. the ballon dor is a good example of this.

Football is a boring game but people don't notice it while they are still young which is why it's normal to think football was better when you were young.

2010s and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Back in my days, things were....... no they weren't.

late 70s to late 80s imo. Both club and NT football were outstanding. NT football went down the toilet starting in 1990.
