OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Coupé It]

You remember the racism that lingered in here in previous years? It was enough that certain former regulars to reveal themselves.

Then they’ll get banned. People get banned and posts get deleted from the NBA thread all the time in a quick orderly fashion. It can be dealt with.

I just always tried to get everyone into Soccer.

I can’t help it.

Make a separate thread, there will be some bleed over regardless and people will post in both but it’s nice to keep this thread for the regulars.

 

[layziegunts]

Brothers, you don't need alcohol to have a good time. If you think you do, then you need to get some help. I'm serious.

'Bro that's not the point, the point is that people were expecting to be able to drink alcohol during the match, but then 2 DAYS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT start, they decided to pull the rug on people.

I decided not to attend about 2 months ago when they announced that you can go to jail for pre-marital sex. lol what???!?!

Thank the universe I got to go to the 2 most amazing World Cups in South Africa and Brazil

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Feels like a lot of these jobs will come open no matter what, Brazil, England, Spain, France, Belgium, Portugal

 

[luisfigo]

create a poll. see what the majority of the regulars in here prefer.

im voting seperate thread for the lolz and their hot takes of which the world has never seen that puts fluid hips hot takes to shame

 

[d3si]

Do we want a separate thread or not? This is our last chance…

I’d be happy to start one to keep the masses out of this thread but it’s up to you guys

I am fine with either

Hopefully this is helpful

I just know there are going to be thousands of arrests for weed too

Would yall go if it was all expenses paid?

I would go but I’d need to buy all new clothes and luggage so there’s no trace amounts of weed on me


I downloaded this iOS calendar for all the games

Dont like all the soccer sarcasm posts on other forums and facebook about the dark african/indian/bangladesí fans supporting other countries in Qatar.
It is masked as a critism of Qatar government and FIFA but it is also racist.
There is no proof all those fans were paid and are fake. Just cuz Beckham is getting paid by Qatari government doesnt mean thousands of indians are.
It seems to mainly stem from British media.
I know cricket is the #1 sport in India but even if as little as 1% of indians and bangladeshis support soccer you end up with a ton of fans.
Cant wait for England to lose so they can bash this world cup

Every country has their rules and laws. What you do in your house cannot be done in my house and vice versus. Any of you thinking you can go to a Muslim country and do what you want live in a total universe. Just don’t go as oppose to criticizing their way of life. It would have been better off if you had said you decided not to go because of the human labor situation, but the potential foreign pums is where you drew the line

Uhmm, I got banned in it. If you have faith that the mods will ban the right people, then I have a few bridges in NYC that I can sell you. You forget Jrose was on here moding while being racist?

 

[rolaholic]

Don't think anyone would have a problem with them enforcing their own rules but they advertised that it would be allowed for the whole lead up until the dawn of the tourney to go the other way

Plus it's hypocritical to ban it for most instances while still allowing it for the wealthier guests at the same time. Either stick to it fully or don't ban it instead of half-assing it.

Anyway, it doesn't affect me since I was never going but the flip flop is funny to see as an observer

 

[Coupé It]

Then do the vote guys.

I really don’t care either way.

You've deadass been posting more updates about this stuff than me though , non-Liverpool related and all

First of many I hope

Hope he never loses that fire and willingness to go directly at his man constantly, Rashford had it early on until it was coached out of him.

Makes it a nightmare to defend/plan against when you're constantly on the backfoot against a strong dribbler

 

[El Argentino]

Garnacho should be in Qatar, especially with the recent spat of injuries. Lock down the kid.

 

[rolaholic]

Sounds about right...

They missed their best shot in Russia, not expecting them to get as far this time around.

Hope Canada have something for them in a few weeks

Yea Mane going down is awful short term but it's also an opportunity for dude to make his mark like Musiala did when he first started getting burn.

 

[rolaholic]

Still remember him being fresh/baby faced and banging in goals in South Africa to burst onto the world scene , him and Ozil balled.

Crazy to see him as part of the old guard now
