      Why can’t parents of footballers be like the mothers of the Moroccan NT in 2022? The coach invited them to stay with the players during the whole cup, during all matches and sometimes training, and it was a great idea, the once questionable moral of the squad was very very high. But at the same time they made sure to know how to manage it with the media, the mothers knew not to step during any interview or any social media, they appeared on images and clips but abstained from being nuisances. Imagine putting Rabiot and Mbappé’s mothers in the same room for longer than a minute lmao

      Tangentially related, this is thought to be one of the reasons Suarez bit someone in the WC. He’d had his issues, obviously, but it was reported that seeing a sports psychologist was an FSG-mandated condition of his returning to play after his suspension. The counseling, anecdotally, seemed to improve his anger management abilities. His intensity on the pitch never wavered, but (iirc) his proclivity to pick up yellows for dumb shit like kicking balls away, went down significantly.

      Then, the World Cup happens, he’s whisked away from Liverpool, his psychologist, and his support structure, and is told in so many words that the fate of the Uruguayan national team is on his shoulders. In that context, while in no way excusing his actions, it’s not necessarily that difficult to see why he relapsed.

              Also Brazilians on twitter celebrating the stolen stuff as if they were “trophies” or justifying police brutality… no seas caradura jaja

                Well, that is the reason I moved out of Rio. The city is terribly dangerous, but I think anyone can get it.

                This time it were the Boca fans, but most times its American tourists and of course the citizens of the city.

                If Rio was not dangerous it would be the best city in the world lol

              Basically, the city is a shithole thus no football matches should be played and the city should be banned from NT matches atleast until the world cup

              There is no security for any fan that goes there so it should not be allowed to be a place for a event

      They are both on the wrong here and anyone who can’t see that is seriously biased.

      Rodrygo should see what is going on in the stands. You can blame his age for being naive but at the end of the day what he said was wrong. A football game is never bigger than real situations going around. Its the same situation with Vini getting racially abused. No player should be complaining if the match is paused. He’s being a shitty human being here.

      On the other hand, Messi is fucking 36 year old and the way he grabs people is stupid and should be facing a couple of games suspension. And it’s also up to him as the senior player and leader on the pitch to explain to someone ~15 years younger about the situation and how he should be acting.

      The fact that Messi was even talking about how he’s the champion and how he won it there should show anyone that he is acting like a baby. He’s supposed to be a captain but his actions on the pitch looked like a school bully especially with De Paul being his bodyguard waiting to jerk him off the first second he got.

      You know that Argentina was beating the shit out of us the whole match like they always do.

      And Messi is always portraid as this nice guy but people who watch the matches know that he is not that nice.

      Argentinians are the worst out of all the south american teams to face because they hit you and them pretend that nothing happens.

      We, from South America know how these guys behave on and off the pitch.

      As for the police beating up argentinians, its terrible but they beat brazilians much worse, its Brazil nothing to do with beating up other fans.

      And remember, there were several fights between both sides before the police did anything.

      I am not sure what his dad is trying to do here at all. Surely he is defending his son, but this was just one of the many arguments between players that happen every game or so.

      I mean you could make a poor argument for Rodrygo that he might have not realise how terrible the cops were acting at that time, but after the game there is no way his father didn’t see bleeding and comatose fans leaving the stadium on stretchers.

        He could have thought that there is also the chance that the police are protecting another group of fans from hooligans ie it is fair.

      As a brazilian Rodrygo should have kept his mouth shut. When Messi said “How are we cowards if we just won the world cup?”. Rodrygo should have said “Congrats in winning the WC, Messi, now your NT has the same number of WCs as Pelé”. Can’t even trash talk properly ffs.

    Messi is the goat but it’s true people overplay how nice he is and portray him as some sort of kind and pacifist saint when throughout his career he’s shown he’s definitely not above some dirtiness and feistiness in his play and conduct.

    Not saying he’s particularly terrible but let’s get it straight the guy isn’t squeaky clean like Kante or someone like that
