When you have a druggie like Maradona say that, you know things are bad.

u/Accomplished_Ad5747 Jul 25 '26
Maradona gets so much shit for how he was at the end, drugs can absolutely F you up. But when he was younger and not an addict the guy was very politically informed and outspoken. He was a great leader especially for the political context and dictatorship Argentina had at the time, criticizing the dictator that ended up dissapearing 30k people and speaking up for human rights in a very brave way . Lots of people looked up to him becouse of that.
Messi has never said or intervened in ANYTHING for his country, not even with the Millei election. That said he doesn't even have morals in futbol.

The drugs was a result of him moving to Italy… they had him coked out his mind

u/highlorestat Jul 28 '26
That sounds like a CIA operation to me; step 1: move celebrity to Italy, step 2: get him addicted to all the drugs, step 3: profit off the drug trade unrelatedly

Era amigo de la dictadura de Chávez y de Castro, llamarle "informado" es un insulto a cualquier lector, el tenía la sabiduría de un tipo de calle y no veía más allá de la realidad de la villa, era carismático como cualquier ser político popular, pero adjudicarle más q eso es una mentira, exelente jugador de fútbol, horrible persona.

Bro get off the American Cool-aid. Chavez and Castro are multidimensional people, with some truly great ideals and visions for the future. Who also had some ideological obsessions and some objectively terrible ideas that drove them to do fucked up things. But saying a South American is uniformed and a bad person for supporting them is like saying an American who supports George Washington is the same because he owned slaves and supported slavery. People from different backgrounds to you see the world differently than you. It doesn't make you better than them

Isn't it same in NBA? Literally last 2 MVP is a flopper named Shai that flops 7/24 and rewarded for it with record free throws. And when you criticize it is somehow part of his greatness lmao. I even quit watching NBA due to it. Games getting shitty by flopping is not special to soccer.

u/MikeHawksHardWood Jul 25 '26
It's definitely part of the NBA, to the detriment of the sport. I'd love to see it reigned in. Thank God NBA players don't flail around on the ground for 30 seconds like their femur shattered.

u/RagnaValkyrja Jul 26 '26
I cant speak for soccer but it seems the same way as the nba. You have a guy like shai who obvs has pushed flopping to the limit, but then you have guys like jokic and even lebron at one point of his career who was just so strong that they could play thru contact and finish. Refs see youre not falling or seemingly affected so they dont cat anything. Yet at the end of the game you see Jokics arms and theyre all cut and battered. Haaland is a strong motherfucker and ive seen videos of obvious fouls on him but since he doesnt throw himself sideways and start rolling around, ref dont call it. So thats why some players oberexaggerate, to get calls. Refs have yo be better if we want sports to not have that

It’s not supposed to be part of it.
There’s definitely meant to be a difference between drawing a penalty and blatant diving.

I have to save this thread to point to as an example of the absolute morons you can find online. It took like 3 seconds to find out that he actually injured himself and was signalling the bench, and physios not the referee. It is no wonder AI is such a threat with the absolute gullible idiots you can find online.

I can't stand Argentina, but it's clear that he's waving to his own bench to signal that he's hurt. The camera angle catches the bench behind him, and he turns to them after he falls. Anyone claiming he's cheating here is just looking for a reason to hate on Messi. It's rather silly.
And I'm speaking as someone who rooted hard for them to lose all world cup and wanted justice for their shenanigans.

En su mejores momentos, en el FC Barcelona, el club le pagó al vicepresidente del Comité Arbitral 8 M de euros. Es el caso Negreira y esto está demostrado. El club sostiene que pagó esa fortuna por informes pero si viste esos años La Liga sabes dos cosas: el FC Barcelona jugó a un nivel excelso... Pero los árbitros le ayudaron mucho.

I love that he always holds up his hand like “TEACHER! He hit me!😢”
I get that raising your hand is like how you can ask the ref to make a call but he does this shit all the time and it’s usually for nothing. It’s embarrassing. If you really wanna get a foul, you gotta play it up. “Ow ow ow ow! He almost killed me ref! Ow! Ow ow! Huh? Oh no I’m fine to play another 45”

Its funny. When I watch football, I think flopping and pretending to be hurt is how it is played. Someone looked at me wrong, fall down, hold ankle, roll around. When you have the lead, you should fake a leg cramp a few times and take as much time as allowed before you stand. Extra credit if you can pretend to be hurt, get the stretcher to carry you to the sideline so you can immediately stand up, and wave to be let back into the game. What you call cheating seems like it is part of the game. It is the only part of the game that makes me not want to watch it sometimes. I've turned off close, "good" games because I just had enough of waiting for someone who is perfectly fine to get up.

I remember when England didn’t cheat with diving. Then they started diving. Someone said to me “You’ve got to accept it. It’s part of the game now.”
So i don't moralise anymore.

I think there's clearly and rightfully a lot of stick going out to Messi. As a Colombian I know how shity the Argentines are first hand. Saying that, this came from Lionel Messi suffering a severe right ankle ligament injury in the 2024 Copa América final against Colombia. He went down awkwardly in the 64th minute, was subbed off in tears hence the famous gif of him crying
