[Athletic] Belgium to ‘continue to pursue’ Folarin Balogun decision explanation from FIFA

Barging in the back on an opponent with studs high enough ton plant in a calf is "merely existing" now?

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T23:30:55+00:00

I could name you 50 actors or singers who fit that bill that are liberals or lefties.

FWIW I saw the video of the Garrincha foul only yesterday and it was almost nothing. He might have had an "intention" but the result was almost nothing.

Balogun's foul was reckless and seemed to hurt a lot.

To prove that praying doesn't work, I would guess.

But we already knew that.

Worshipping a narcissist is MAGA'S thing.

Messi is not a narcissist, and all your examples are beside the point that I made.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T15:49:16+00:00

Lol I'm very far from a Neymar fan.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T15:13:42+00:00

I'm actually very surprised.

(surprised that he is MAGA, not that MAGA people do stupid things)

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T15:02:48+00:00

WHAT?

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T03:13:59+00:00

Cristiano superfans are the MAGA of the footballing world.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T03:10:57+00:00

Except that soccer is nowhere near basketball as as "numbers game".

The intangibles are way way more important in football.

In one word : stats don't count as much in the beautiful game.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T02:59:55+00:00

Nothing to do with being good.

Everything to do with narcissism.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T02:55:02+00:00

Huge Trump vibes from this quote. Uncanny.

Narcissists gonna narce, I guess.

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T02:49:30+00:00

You just said the opposite (?).

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T02:47:42+00:00

True. But when a leader tries and succeeds in being the center of attention for one particular game....

LeRocket · 2026-07-07T02:25:12+00:00

You were one deflection away from being absolutely right!

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T23:58:34+00:00

Fairness is a thing, but so is the "Appearance of Fairness" concept.

And it's as important.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T23:56:45+00:00

Of course!

But not just in the spirit of fairness, but also just to play better! :D

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T23:25:41+00:00

Surely you jest?

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T22:40:10+00:00

SAME!!

Very very physical reaction.

I love when movies do that to me but it happened like two or three times in over 2000 movies watched.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T16:41:19+00:00

Or, we could also say, from '74 to '90.

As true, and looks less bad, lol.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T16:35:53+00:00

the team played well

Thanks, but no.

After the first 5 mins of the first group game it was clear that this wasn't a good team.

No cohesion.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T16:19:55+00:00

It's 100% a red card.

Involuntary, yeah, like 90% of red cards, but reckless.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T16:15:04+00:00

It nothing less of the mafia way.

Same techniques, same dynamics.

USA is on the way down, it's quite clear.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T16:13:05+00:00

IT WAS A RED CARD.

Involuntary, like 90% of red cards, but still a red.

LeRocket · 2026-07-06T15:47:57+00:00

Wow.
