July 2023 Football Insights
July was packed with quick reads that answer the questions most fans whisper about over a pint. From which league is a total joke for the underdogs, to how you should actually wear that new jersey, we’ve got the practical low‑down you need.
Why Scotland’s Premiership feels like a two‑team show
Ever feel like a league is stacked against you? Scotland’s top division is the poster child. Celtic have gobbled up nine titles in a row, making the competition feel like a one‑player game. The imbalance isn’t just about money; it’s history, fan base, and a winning culture that keeps other clubs chasing shadows. If you’re looking for drama, you’ll find it in the tiny moments, but the big picture stays the same—Celtic dominate.
How to rock a soccer jersey without looking clueless
Putting on a jersey isn’t just tossing a shirt over your head. First, grab a size that hugs but doesn’t squeeze. Pair it with jeans or shorts for a casual vibe, or layer it under a jacket when it’s chilly. Keep the logo front and center, and avoid bulky accessories that hide the design. The goal? Show off your team pride while staying comfortable and looking effortless.
Why draws happen so often in soccer
Soccer draws more than any other sport, and there’s a good reason. The game rarely sees high scores, so a single goal can decide a match. Teams also spend a lot of time defending, especially in the closing minutes, to protect a narrow lead or a draw. Add a 90‑minute clock and you’ve got a recipe where stalemates become the norm rather than the exception.
What’s up with Italy’s blue kit?
Most fans think Italy’s jerseys should match the green, white, and red flag, but the real story goes back to the House of Savoy. The royal family’s color was blue, and after unification the national team adopted that shade as a sign of respect. The "Azzurro" jersey is now a badge of pride, linking modern players to a historic legacy that’s more than just a color.
All four topics show how football isn’t just a game—it’s culture, history, and a daily conversation. Whether you’re planning your next match‑day outfit or debating league fairness, July’s articles give you quick, clear answers without the fluff.

Well, folks, hold on to your hats because we're diving into the world of football, or soccer for my American buddies. So, you're wondering, which football league is as one-sided as a coin with the same face on both sides? The answer? Scotland's Premiership, home of the mighty Celtic FC.

How do I wear a soccer jersey?
Wearing a soccer jersey isn't just about throwing it on. It's about representing your team and showing your passion. When choosing a jersey, go for one that fits well, not too tight or too loose. The jersey can be paired with jeans, shorts or even under a jacket for a cool, casual look. Remember, it's not just a piece of clothing, it's a statement of your love for the game.

Why is a tie in soccer much more frequent than in other sports?
In soccer, ties or draws are a common occurrence due to the nature of the game. It's inherently low-scoring, meaning there's a lot less opportunity for a team to pull ahead, unlike sports with higher scoring rates. Additionally, the sheer length of the game, combined with the physical demands, often results in a score stalemate. Moreover, the tactical defensive play, where teams focus on denying their opponents scoring opportunities, often leads to draws. So, in essence, the structure and strategies of soccer naturally lend themselves to more frequent ties compared to other sports.

Why is the Italian national soccer team jersey blue?
Contrary to what most would think, the Italian national soccer team wears blue jerseys, not the colors of the Italian flag. This interesting tradition actually traces back to the House of Savoy, the royal family that unified Italy in the 19th century, whose royal color was blue. So, in honor of them, the Italian team adopted blue, or 'Azzurro', as their primary color. It's a nod to their history and a symbol of national pride. So, when you see the Italian team in blue, remember, it's more than just a color, it's a piece of their heritage.
