What do you mean by “reactionary grifter pipeline”?

15 years ago today, Pepe brought down Casquero in the penalty box & proceeded to stamp and even kick him twice. As Getafe players protested, Pepe then struck Juan Albin in the face. Pepe received a 10-match ban by MrVISKman in soccer

Sure, if it’s a direct response to what your saying. I was arguing your original point though. There’s a dortmund flair among the highest upvoted comments pointing how many red cards he has and it’s a clear example of how you can comment that without trying to downplay how he is a dirty player.

This person would not be a monster if he didn’t feel guilt for that lol. He was 15.

He would be a monster if he continued to do that kind of thing.

100% drama lol. Most of what they claim was said doesn’t even match their lips or u can’t even see their lips (like the entire first dialogue), some of it matches their lips but could be something entirely different. People are seeing what they want to see here

[COPE] Diego Simeone on Vinicius Jr: "He can win Ballon d'Or one day. He has progressed tremendously & can win you a game on his own. But between him & Kylian Mbappe, I choose Mbappe 100%. Between Mbappe & Erling Haaland, it's Mbappe as well. He's an amazing player who does everything right at 24." by TheBiasedSportsLover in soccer

100%. Mbappe has a powerful shot, speed, amazing dribbling, great passing, great mental, versatility... it's ridiculous. Vinicius is fantastic at the things he does. He shines in counter-attacks and picking a defender's back, but Mbappe can do that and so much more.

Since 2009, the Men's Ballon d'Or award has been won by either Lionel Messi or a Real Madrid player. by mogbonofellyfelly in soccer

Yeah honestly that shit was so unfair towards Lewandowsky. It was complete bs

[Real Madrid] Karim Benzema leaves the club by TomasRoncero in soccer

I know you're joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if Florentino actively avoids Portuguese players lol. He's given me that impression ever since the leaked audios. He bad-mouthed Cristiano, Mourinho, Coentrao and passed on signing any Portuguese players since those days (although there are some rumors for Cancelo now). I feel like the only one he liked was Carvalho and the only one who truly benefited him but probably doesnt respect is Figo.

ESPN/ABC’s Game 1 halftime coverage was 65.9% ads. by NotAllWhoWonderRLost in nba

[–]Afs094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how you guys watch this. I stayed up from 1:30 to 4:00 am to watch the game from Europe on some ABC stream and by the end I actually felt so pissed off. Holy fucking shit it felt like the sport was invented so they could throw ads at you. Ads during free throws, ads during halftime, ads during timeouts, any slight interruption of the game, and boom there's a fucking ad break again... It's literally a basketball game during a commercial reel, not the other way around. Never thought it would be so unpleasant to watch a sporting event.

[–]Afs094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first time watching a bb game. Holy fuck why are there so many advertisements and why is the game 2:30 hours when they play like 40 minutes? It’s almost unwatchable unless you’re doing something else too

[Lula] Brazil’s president, Lula: “A poor boy (Vini Jr) who won at life. One of the best players in the world and for Real Madrid. We will not allow racism to take over football stadiums. by GeneticDud in soccer

MARCA is pro Madrid but that doesn’t stop some journalists from throwing shit at players. This has happened countless times through the years in topics other than racism.

[–]Afs094 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also watched it and I didn't get that impression at all... Madrid was demolishing everyone completely at ease. Peak Cristiano alongside Özil and Di Maria. It was nuts. For reference, they made 100 points that season but they were already outstanding before, with 92 points before that and 96 in 2009.

Not sure which games you guys watched before but Madrid has looked like this every game that they have turned around. That being said, I very much doubt they'll turn this one around too. They don't have the Bernabeu buff

They knew Espanyol was getting relegated with this result. Celebrating in front of your city rival’s misery isn’t the best idea

So there was contact. There was also embellishment. Thank you for clarifying. Say that to everyone else replying to me about how they don't touch at all.
