its stupid as hell to be playing this Cup format right now in the middle of a condensed, shortened schedule and in Saudi Arabia of all fucking places, but both of these matches have been fun
Man fuck the Spanish FA and Madrid doing nothing to help end this bullshit. Example number 14643 of the racism he has to endure.
shit is out of control and there’s just as much backlash against Vinicius in the “just shut up and dribble” vein that we get here in the States
I’m of the opinion that the club needs to step the fuck up and start taking real action beyond these empty and hollow “We strongly condemn this behavior” statements. Quadruple the amount of security & stewards outside the stadium, in the concourses & visitor sections, stop offering tickets to the visiting clubs altogether and if necessary walk the fuck off the pitch. The league has demonstrated they don’t take this seriously whatsoever and there’s no reason to believe they’ll lift the first finger until it impacts the bottom line.
His teammates don't seem to give as shit from everything I see, which is just insane to me. Valverde just walked by...
I don't know how you infer that from a 2 second clip of a teammate walking past a non-confrontational post match interaction? I mean there are dozens of clips of guys coming to his aid over the last couple of seasons as well as the comments from interviews calling for the league and authorities to step up and take action both in Spain and across Europe in general
I mean, if one the opposing team's staff/injured players(Lo Celso in that video) was confronting one of my teammates I know I wouldn't just walk on by. It's just a weird situation as a whole to me. One of, possibly the, best players on the team, and no one seems to be standing on the table calling for this type of shit to stop.
Just read. That’s positive. I also don’t think any huge club in world football or any of the governing bodies are actually going to do anything because they are in fact staffed and run by many old men who are as racist as the people you wish to see banned from games. I don’t think Real is drastically insulated from that, even though it sounds like they might be a little better in the PR department by not allowing a racist army attend every home game. Because lots of clubs do.
Macca is 100% right there. He's heading away towards the corner and nowhere dangerous, just an incredibly dumb foul to commit
I don't know that it's because those in charge are all necessarily racists but the fact that every club is either owned or run by the ultra wealthy there won't ever be any real push for change until there are economic or sporting reasons to do so. Until clubs starting being fined, forced to play behind closed doors or risk potential point deductions or being suspended from competitions we're gonna continue to get generic statements of "condemnation" which are just PR versions of thoughts and prayers.
Lot of enjoyment in seeing the dancing Brazilians run all over these bozos Hope those Atletico ultras are seething
lol if Paulista had done it to Raphinha this would be a post about how it’s an assault on the Catalan people
Bartomeu was making illegal payments to someone!? No way. Yeah, he was a piece of shitwho financially ruined the club. If this shit ruins the club further, someone is probably going to murder him
