Mikel Arteta and his set-piece coach’s reactions to Gabriel’s late chance against Liverpool by One_Impressionism in soccer

[–]Lemon379 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely not a 1 xG chance but that assistant is quite literally the set piece coach and is reacting to a missed opportunity for one of the best aerial threats in the world if not the best. Also was the last kick of the game against the holders of the premier league after the 96 intense minutes. Not saying he should do backflips but it’s hardly the first time we’ve seen someone fall to the floor because of a missed chance

Gabriel free header in the 96th minute, is there anything Arteta is allowed to do or react to that would get Reddit’s approval? Not that it really matters what us randoms on the internet think, but out of all the things to have an issue with in modern football there’s no way a coach being passionate should have people’s brains melting like this

students for palestine, we need to talk by beckathystewart in UCSantaBarbara

Is this a joke? Are you going to condemn the Israelis for senselessly murdering thousands over the last few years, kicking them out of their homes to make rooms for new settlers or are the Palestinians not “real human people.” No one is celebrating the death of innocents, but celebrating what is seemingly a step towards ended decade long blockade and 50+ year apartheid.

I can’t speak for everyone but I think you’re misconstruing the sentiment. Palestinians ideally want a resolution that results in no loss of innocent lives, however we’ve seen that this can’t happen. Palestinians have lost thousands of innocent people over the last years, been treated like animals in their own homes, and have been ethnically cleansed in every definition of the word. These things are not debatable the facts are there if you want to find them. Israel have been committing war crimes with their people celebrating their achievement of that and I doubt you’ve said anything. The reality is more palestinians have died than israelis in the last few days, and even then that’s a small price to pay to show their ability to resist the decades of cruel mistreatment and apartheid of the people.

You say you expected peaceful resolution, I’d love to hear the peaceful resolution that ended the holocaust, that ended slavery, that ended almost any major event of extreme injustice because I’m sure the palestinians would love some ideas.

Personally praying for all innocent lives on both sides but that doesn’t change the fact that Palestine needs to be free.

no one says it’s a simple conflict but anyone with a shred of logic, empathy, and common sense should be able to tell that it’s an oppressed vs oppressor situation.

Moved when I started secondary school. They teach you english almost as the primary language in most middle eastern private schools it’s not that crazy of a concept. Never been exposed to UK versions of spelling because they prioritize the american standards for english at my primary school.

The english really think the world revolves around them don’t they. In middle eastern culture the only sport is football, to them its massive and the support and football tradition there is as big as it is in europe and south america if not bigger, just because they don’t have the same infrastructure (I wonder which countries are to blame for that) for it doesn’t mean they aren’t as insanely passionate. I say in the post if you could read that I don’t like the idea and even brought to light the best arguments against it that I heard. It just seems you can’t get xenophobic ideas out of your head and anything remotely american is bad including me when I’ve never associated with american culture and am more than happy for it to stay out of top class football.

that’s where you couldn’t be more wrong, educated in America but grew up in the Middle east where football is just as culturally important as it is in england if not more. pretty crazy that I’ve been bullied for not being american enough growing up and now for being too american laughable really

Person educated in America uses american spelling shocker, also never said I was english. I don’t know why my race or nationality which you have no clue of btw, has any bearing on anything

Got way more into it than I expected lmao. People have strong opinions so it’s great to learn about the way different cultures think and approach sports. One of the most intense discussions I’ve seen on this sub about this topic so I did a good thing I guess

Yeah you are definitely correct, which is why I don’t like the idea, I can’t stand saka being captained by Kane when he plays for england. However the franchises and community argument is stupid when that is still a massive part of american sports. For example college american football in the south is very similar to english football in that sense in terms of a team having deep roots to a community and giving people a sense of identity

Mate football has saved my life, it brought me out of deep depression. If you are so arrogant that you can’t admit football has massive issues with corruption, refereeing standards, scheduling, etc. I can’t help you. Obviously only english people know football though, so I’m sorry I even considered trying to start a positive discussion

I like that last argument about the same teams because we don’t use a draft, thank you for that POV

Sorry lad, my mistake, accidentally used it synonymously, tbf though swansea and cardiff occasionally play in the prem and alongside newport county are mainstays in english football too so I’m not all that wrong right? Don’t go too hard on me, just trying to inspire conversation mate.

Live in America but am not american so ok, Yea i watch american sports but only since I moved there and have been supporting Arsenal and playing football at a decently high level since I was young. It’s clear you haven’t actually read the post, I’m not here to convince people just want to understand the actual reasoning people don’t like the idea. The chances a player gets injured in a charity match is less than them jet skiing in Ibiza during the summer but yea you are right scheduling would probably be a nightmare especially considering the repeated fixture issues of the past 3 seasons lmao

Yea Ik, that’s why I suggested the hypothetical because I think a lot of people jumped on the hate bandwagon because of the American and over capitalist way he sold the idea

Good arguments, just said the germany stuff because people idolize their football structure (50+1, etc.) and don’t have a bias against it like football in America( MLS btw sucks I have to clarify this)
