I'm afraid you're talking yourself a bit into a corner here. Multiculturalism is a buzzword and can stand for many things, but in most serious political discussions it stands for a society model where immigrants are not forced into complete cultural assimilation but allowed or even...

Good post He probably wants to make the world cup 2018 his last hurrah, so he'll aim to get another year as (semi)-regular starter under valverde. By the way, on the subject whether a club should offload its legends as soon as they underperfom: I staunchly in the "no player as bigger than...

Nah man, don't take him so seriously. He's still young, he'll learn. Weren't we all ignorant little fools at one point? anyway, good rant! I can understand your frustration, but maybe you just have to lower your expectations a bit? It's the internet after all. However, Barcaforum is still...

my 2 cents: if whatshisface really was fired/demoted/punished because of those exact words, then this is worrisome. As long as his opinion is based on a certain objectivenes and whichever criticism he offers is purely fact related and not ad hominem, having a person who is commited enough...

But nobody considers him the best player in here. literally nobody, not the real supporters, nor the neutrals nor the portuguese members. i could understand some heated arguments if this place was crawling with die hard ronaldo fans, but this thread is one giant circle jerk of ronaldo hatred...

He won't score against us, it's our make-or-break match. I'll stake my honor on that. if ronaldo scores against austria, i'll change my profile pic to the "commander" for the rest of the euro

Spaniards don't hate pique, real madrid fans do. Why should they? pique has never said anything disrespectful against spain and he always shows full commitment when playing for the national team. people like the guy on the video who doesn't celebrate a goal from an "independentist" are complete...

iirc, in the spanish national team the player on the field with the most caps is automatically captain, and ramos is a good 20 matches ahead of iniesta in that regard,

Since you mention it, if we consider that narrative of messi being all talent and ronaldo being all training (while obviously it's not that black and white in reality, that's how the majority of fans see it) who would you guys say is the better role model for young players? Because in all...

reverse horse placenta, maybe?

meh, quantity is for clumsy goal hogs like ronaldo or messi. The Don has gravitas, he influenced the birth rate in spain with his scoring. Twice.

The win today was a team effort, and messi pulled his weight like everyone else. incidentally, what started our power play and got the crowd pumping was that gem of a bicycle kick. Real shame, would have been his career first, no?

let's all cool our jets here. Yannik isn't desperately trying to prove messi is guilty, he just says that with the current status of information, messi's taxes seem to be managed in a way that seems at least morally questionable. for a thought experiment, just substitute messi with "random...

You can do that on your own if you want to. Just get a reasonable sample size, like all the knock out stage draws real madrid had since the champions league was established in 1992, then get some coefficient for "strength" of a team (if you're lazy you can just use their respective league...

First of all, bartos criticism is valid, objectively so. The rule is too harsh, regardless of who is lucky and who is getting screwed over. I don't want it to happen in our favor or against us during a clutch game, i don't want it to happen during any potentially interesting game i'm watching as...

There is no such thing as a greatest sportsman of all time. But for the sake of the argument: no, not even close. The only shaky approximation of a fair comparison between different sports would be to compare athletic performance, and if we do that, messi or any other football player are a...

to play devils advocate here, i don't think this incident shows his disrespect for xavi or puyol. after a game like the 5:0 he'd probably shove his own mother out of the way. It's said that he apologized personally to them first thing in the morning, so i don't see why he shouldn't respect them...

Nobody is attacking suarez. Like i said, i like him and i don't even think he's an exceptionally dirty player. I'd have a problem with guys like pepe or john terry in my team, suarez is a decent enough guy. But the point is that barca was lucky yesterday, objectively so. If the refs sees it and...

The problem with that kind of logic is that you can substitute suarez in your text with diego costa, and it still works fine. I quite like suarez and i'm cool with his way of approaching the game. Not everyone can be a puyol. But the point is, you can be the lord of all cunts on the pitch as...

That line might need a little work ;)
