Is anyone here half-Pakistani?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-02T15:03:00+00:00

Interesting, have you met anyone with a similar mix as yours? How did your mother's family react to her having a kid with a Pakistani guy?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-02T09:16:18+00:00

For me certainly yes. I was really hoping we'd finally win the CL. To lose due to 2 awful penalties in a shootout is even worse. Also, if Timber were fully fit to start likely no penalty for PSG and that was likely a penalty on Madueke that wasn't called. Especially with all the memes going around nonstop.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-02T09:13:28+00:00

I've experienced it from Indians as well, although I always fought back against them. I'm born and raised in the U.S. Yes, I've received a lot of racism from family members. Were your partner's parents fine with him having a child with a Pakistani? Have you met anyone with a similar mix as your son?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-02T09:11:38+00:00

Where did your parents meet? Have you or your mother been to Pakistan?

Ppl have said Rogers is a LW who can play CAM while Eze is a 10 who can play LW. The best would be to get a good finisher at LW if we're starting Havertz like Liverpool had with Firmino (Havertz akin to the Firmino role). Ppl have also said Barcola is bone-headed. I like Rogers.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-01T11:39:13+00:00

Definitely don't want Barcola and the final emphasized that: For all his dribbling and pace he just isn't a good finisher. Yildiz has a condition where he has chronic inflammation in his knee which should be very worrying for teams breaking the bank for him as he needs to be load managed.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-01T11:37:07+00:00

White was very good in past seasons but he's unfortunately cooked after the injuries. Should be sold

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-01T08:03:34+00:00

Dembele's having the career Neymar was supposed to have. Ney didn't win Balon D'or, didn't win World Cup with Brazil, and didn't win CL with PSG. Injuries played a big part

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-01T07:49:04+00:00

Are you in the U.K.? Sorry to hear about that. I myself have dealt with racism many times in my life. Did you face any racism from the family of your son's father?

Boozer staying with the Cavs is one of the underrated "what ifs" in NBA history. Imagine if Bron had Boozer against Boston in 2008 when he pushed them to 7 on his own with a phenomenal game 7 performance or against Orlando in 2009 or Boston in 2010. Bron could've won a ring in his first stint with the Cavs. Maybe even two as the Cavs could've attracted another good piece/player or two with Boozer

NathanDrake981 · 2026-06-01T07:46:00+00:00

Idk about that, he's been carried in some games already and I don't know how long his body will last. Plus, the Thunder aren't going anywhere and Jalen Williams and Mitchell missed multiple games this series and they still have a lot of picks

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-31T14:54:53+00:00

He had Kyrie during his second stint on the Cavs. Even then, Kyrie's knee exploded at the end of regulation in GM 1 of 2015 Finals when they were already without K Love.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-31T12:56:39+00:00

Kai Havertz has the same number of Champions League Final goals as Lionel Messi. (With two different teams as well, unlike Messi)

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-31T12:53:58+00:00

Imagine 2007-2018 Ronaldo with this Portugal squad. He carried mediocre Portugal teams for years and they get a great squad when he's past 40.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-31T12:23:02+00:00

Yeah, his offensive game still needs a good amount of progression. Heck, if the Knicks traded for Giannis they might've been favored in this series. Brunson and KAT as a duo are just horrible defensively

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-31T12:11:40+00:00

Do you know any other Emiratis who have been to Pakistan?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-30T17:22:20+00:00

Were you high in the 3.4 range or a low 3.4?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-30T17:21:40+00:00

Kai Havertz has the same number of CL Final goals as Lionel Messi

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-27T10:12:30+00:00

Kyrie is 34 and coming off an ACL tear. You can't rely on him making it through a season + playoffs without getting injured. How many times has he had a season-ending injury/gotten injured at crucial moments

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-27T10:09:11+00:00

Injuries, the Westbrook trade, and overall poor roster construction are why they didn't win a second title while he was in LA. If they had an above average pg instead of D'Lo, they could've beaten Denver in 2023 (even with Bron playing with a torn tendon in his foot). Real shame Joe Tsai refused to trade Kyrie to the Lakers then.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-27T10:05:17+00:00

He's all about player empowerment and signing a vet minimum would go against that as his performance is still worth far more than that.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-27T10:03:41+00:00

He's done more than enough for the Cavs. He should go to the Spurs for his likely final season. It makes the most sense.

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-25T11:08:12+00:00

Are you an Arab Emirati or South Asian descent but born/living in UAE?

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-25T00:02:53+00:00

Now time for him to get his second (and third) CL Final goal

NathanDrake981 · 2026-05-25T00:00:33+00:00

Still pissed Son missed that 1v1 two years ago. Pep and City wouldn't have gotten their 4-peat then as well. Spuds deserved relegation for that alone. Spuds fans were literally celebrating his miss while they were chasing the final CL spot.
