  1. Messi lifting the World Cup in that robe

    Honestly, who are you people who really cared about it? I loved to see some local influences in both the final ceremony before the game and I can appreciate they put that coat on Messi, that obviously means something good in their culture. Yes, Qatar have issues and their culture is worse than...
  2. Is this one of the worst quality World Cups ever? | Probably not

    Best world cup i've seen (first was 2006). Considering what's at stake and number of viewers worldwide, I dare to say this final was the best and most exciting sporting event in history. It was the perfect end.
  3. So who is up for another winter World Cup? | It's actually autumn | When does winter start?

    Having a world cup in winter has been great. I don't really see the problem having it now. Sure, you can't stay outside in a park and watch it on big screen, but you can be in a bar where the atmosphere also is great. At this time of the year it gets completely dark at 15.30 in my country and...
  4. Qatar WC | Fans and Atmosphere Watch

    Celebrations in Buenos Aires after Croatia win This is one of the coolest videos I've seen of the tournament. Club football in all respect, nothing compares to moments where whole nations stop and come together. What an atmosphere, what an experience to be in Argentina during this world cup.
  5. The Final: Argentina vs France

    I was never really fascinated by Messi as a player and icon, even if his brilliance on the pitch always has been obvious. Compared to previous heroes like Ronaldinho, R9 and Totti, I think Messi was so effective that the magic somehow got away. He's always been up there among the best that have...
  6. Qatar WC | Fans and Atmosphere Watch

    In Swedish media Qatar has been portrayed extremely poorly. Big, big focus on migrant workers and HBT issues. To be true, very tirening. All nations around the world have not come as far as the Western world in terms of human rights. Should the rest of the world therefor be banned from hosting...
  7. Racism incident in PSG v Istanbul match

    That is an extremely English-centric way of looking at the world. Negru means black in Romanian. Black. The. Color. Black. In Spanish it's negro. In Italian it's nero and in French noir. What you are saying is that people in all these countries should not be allowed to say "black" in their own...
  8. Racism incident in PSG v Istanbul match

    People who think it's totally fine referring to white but not black are the ones who are racist. Just quit your "historical negative connotations" bullshit. If we are always supposed to consider historical events we are getting nowhere. All people in all times have been treated miserably. All...
  9. Racism incident in PSG v Istanbul match

    This whole thing is absurd. Apparently you're not allowed to describe a black person as "black"? Does the same rules apply for other groups? "Negru" in Romanian means black. As the color, you know. It's negro in Spanish, nero in Italian and noir in French. If the color of black is offensive to...
  10. Diego Maradona has died | 1960 – 2020

    The discussion whether Diego was the best to have ever played on a football pitch will never have a definite answer since every era has its own masters. But there is absolutely no doubt that Diego is the greatest of history of football. He had his flaws and made tons of mistakes outside the...
  11. Zlatan Ibrahimovic | Rises a day early

    It's a favor following his current adventure in Serie A. It will feel empty when the day finally comes and he retires. It will be a sad day for football. He may not have been one of the best of his generation, his records in knock-out phase of Champions League and Sweden national team speak not...
  12. Romelu Lukaku | Mourinho Part III | Roma watch

    Lukaku played really, really good yesterday. And I say that as a milanista. But he lacks some composure in the truly decisive moments. He should have scored another one I think, considering his chances. Ibra, brilliant as always. Two goals and just magnificent hold-up play. He is so intelligent...
  13. How good was Materazzi?

    I really think that the World Cup final 2006 sums him up. Materazzi was furbo personalized. He knew what buttons he would press to get Zidane off balance, and that won him and Italy the final. Of course he's a dick, though. But then again, football wouldn't be as entertaining if there was 10.000...
  14. Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

    That night in Paris was the worst thing that could've happen to you.
  15. Champions League Final 2019 | Spurs v Liverpool (1st June)

    Fantastic semi-finals with extraordinary drama. Just incredible. It has been great watching Tottenham's and Liverpool's ways to the final and they are fully worthy finalists. I wish Milan could come back to their glory days like Liverpool has. However, a Champions League final containing...
