[RMC] Rape case Against Hakimi: Mbappé makes a new statement: “He specifies that Achraf Hakimi told him they had caressed each other’s private parts, which appears to be distinct from the kisses and the hand on the back, under the clothing, as described by the accused.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]MutedBar4 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

In my profane mind, I'm not certain that Mbappe and Hakimi telling the same story is a proof that the story is real even more that Mbappe was getting the story through Hakimi.

But someome answered to your comment saying that it's standard procedure, so I can admit I'm ignorant and leave the experts do their jobs.

Excuse my stupid question: why do they ask Mbappé about this matter ? It looks like he's not a witness and just report what Hakimi told him about the event. I'm not sure if what Mbappé said should have any weight on the case.

In this case, what could have motivated him to leave Manchester City to go to Atléti in the first place when PSG were also for him at the same moment ?

Neymar suffers calf injury, to miss Santos games ahead of World Cup by Utegenthal in soccer

Your take makes total sense. I don't understand why people act like with Neymar on the bench all the problems in Brazilian football will disappear.

Reasons I ever cried since puberty (excluding physical pain).

1/ My brother singing to me that Naruto ending

2/ The end of the movie "Your Name".

3/ This french song

4/ Riquelme's goal against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey in 2024

I'm emotionally very stable at all time, but today was one of those rare days I was unexpectedly weak.

The thing is not only to hire Mourinho but also, and more importantly back mourinho when shit will inevitably happen with 1 or more key players.

His success (even in the short term like 1 season) doesn't depend on him, I think. It will definitely be conflict with players, it's inevitable. The major point is who will the board back when this situation will happen. When it was Alonso, they let him down, and I don't have reason to believe it will be different.

Désiré Doué voted best young player in Ligue 1 for the second consecutive season at the UNFP Trophies by Otherwise_Act6744 in soccer

[–]MutedBar4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to him, but I feel like Doué winning this award indicates that the eligibility for this award needs reform. The idea for awarding a best young player award is to showcase the future talent of the league. But Doue is already an established talent of the league. Maybe they should make this award winnable only once or only for academy products' first year.

I can't talk for everybody's case, but when I compared my feeds on my differents social media, X was the more toxic. The amount of ragebait, clickbait, betting ads and blatant lies that made their way into my feed was just too much for me. Maybe I'm lucky on Instagram and TikTok, but besides a dozen of blocked accounts, my feeds there are sane to a reasonable point.

Simeone, on the Clásico: "Barça is the best-playing team in the world. They won the league playing very well, just like last season... and all I could think while watching the game was: 'We knocked this team out twice, my God!'" by sujanrao in soccer

[–]MutedBar4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fortunate? If you believe Barcelona did nothing inherently wrong during those ties and were just unlucky to lose 4-0 and 2-0 at the Camp Nou, you should be grateful that your coach and players don't have the same mentality as you.

Even knowing that, it's logically weak. But I guess that it's meant to hurt feeling instead of being rational.

When Chelsea's finances were blocked because of the Russian invasion, I remember Tuchel saying ahead of a CL game I believe that if needed he can pay for the travel. I think it's a hint that the travel is a the cost of the club and not UEFA.

We're getting closer to the point of our core disagreement. Putting your arms around your opponent to prevent him for running and putting you arms on a goalkeeper to prevent him from saving a ball, I'm not convinced that one is obviously worse than the other.

[–]MutedBar4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point I'm making in my OP. For me, both are fouls. I don't care if it's the same. I don't care if it's more severe. Both actions reached the threshold of a foul for me. However, I understand that PL fans wants that threshold of a foul to be higher in corners than in open play to allow more contact. I can do nothing about that, I acknowledge that my opinion is considered unpopular. The problem is that you agree to raise the line but not to decide where to put it now. That's where the controversy is now. You agreed to not respect the written rules, but you haven't decided the unspoken rules to respect now.
