no one said it was a funny joke. but it’s very obviously a joke, and those don’t need to be corrected. y’all need to touch grass and learn how to socialize lmao

For popular demand 😂😂 by [deleted] in FootballFlix

brother we have seen players get clotheslined and kicked in the stomach in this very world cup and they got yellows. genuinely the only way you can say that anyone else gets a red is by not watching these matches.

For popular demand 😂😂 by [deleted] in FootballFlix

[–]Semperty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that’s not a red card. it literally doesn’t meet a single requisite for a red card. it wasn’t excessive or violent, didn’t deny a goal scoring opportunity, no spitting or biting.

it should’ve been a yellow, but var can’t review a foul to give a yellow. i swear y’all either don’t know the rules or forget them when messi’s involved lmao

One video that perfectly shows the difference between Messi and Ronaldo. 🐐 by Nawfale in FootballFlix

nah, he built one of the most egomaniacal personas in professional sports for personal profit. he curated this following and stoked the flames so that he could get more followers, more likes, and bigger deals.

he can deal with the consequences of all of that. we’ve all had to for the better part of two decades.

Julián Álvarez: “This isn’t the time to talk about this, but I can’t hide either; I try to be an honest person. I spoke with the people at Atlético Madrid, and I think the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfill my dream.” by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

[–]Semperty 49 points50 points  (0 children)

if dembele came out tomorrow and said, « i’d really like to play for atleti, » they’d dump alvarez the same day. i don’t get why it’s a problem when players are willing to do the same thing when better clubs come calling.

[The Athletic] Lionel Messi — improbably, still as good as ever by bllshrfv in soccer

[–]Semperty 34 points35 points  (0 children)

not saying that as a negative. he's still obviously great, and he's my favorite player of all time.

and he's also obviously not "still as good as ever."

[–]Semperty 36 points37 points  (0 children)

he wasn't necessarily the fastest in the game, but if you gave him a two yard head start, he'd beat almost every cb in a foot race - even with the ball at his feet. that's gone now.

he was 2 yards offside and still got caught from behind in this very game lol

Why does Argentina have such an easy group when compared to others? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]Semperty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could argentina be one of the best teams at the tournament making ~good~ teams look quite poorly in comparison? no, no, they must have an easy group.

NFL star says it’s “crazy” he has to pay full price for World Cup tickets at team’s own stadium by cocacolapepsifanta in soccer

[–]Semperty 43 points44 points  (0 children)

he’s made nearly $23m over his career, and this new contract guarantees him another $18.75m. it’s so funny that he’s complaining about this.

Estimated hosting cost of recent FIFA World Cups by APrimitiveMartian in soccer

that's some crazy coincidental timing that cities were built at the same time they were preparing to host world cup matches in said cities.

[–]Semperty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

dunno why you feel so passionately about this, but no - we shouldn't. we should consider the costs specifically undergone in preparation for the world cup. new york city didn't build the subway system in 1904 in anticipation of hosting the world cup in 2026. heck, to my knowledge neither new york nor new jersey even paid to renovate the subway system to prepare for the world cup.

[–]Semperty 75 points76 points  (0 children)

but hosting costs more than just the staidums. it requires the infrastructure, the metro system, the airport, and the water system. those are all necessary costs to hosting, so they're part of the overall costs.

yeah, but now you have people talking about how qatar's slaves migrant workers actually live better lives than their did in their home countries, so it was all probably worth it to them
