BBZ is right about Barca in terms of Choir boys. We are too nice in general.
Too classy for our own good.

More like a cunt if you ask me. These buffoons rarely make it. Mina is one, and apparently so is that keeper. Just mind your business and save the shot without insulting other players.
Probably why I dislike most South American national teams. Too many macho wannabe assholes.

It is opposite.
Being an arrogant fucker helps become a footballer in most cases as long as doesnt make them lazy due to it.
You are talking about two players in semi final of intl competition.. they made it.

This is not arrogance or self-confidence. This is trash talking and insulting other players.

Which Messi did straight after the pen and most top players do to one degree or another.
Neymar and Suarez etc are at it constantly more or less every game.
Not sure what Mina did there either if point is acting up to some huge extent.
Arrogance and being a cocky twat helps in football. Those fuckers have less self doubt. Have to have brass neck to act way Martinez did when can go wrong and look a fool.

It's not arrogance and cockiness that get you far. It is the hard work that you sometimes put in to sustain it. Many are arrogant and cocky in a dumb shit way without backing it up, see that idiot Dembele. Either way, trash-talking opponents, like diving, time-wasting, this shit is not worthy of being praised on the football pitch.

Never said it is only thing that gets you far... I said it helps and it does. Self confidence and nerve is huge part of those that make it to the top and a lot of them behave like cocky bell ends to opposition.
It is the job of ref to intervene if trash talking going to far in those type of situations.
Trash talking is fine. Part of the game. Sportsmen like Michael Jordan are heralded for it and the 'mentality' it can show.

Weird statement from Michael Jordan fan, a guy who actually bullied and trashed talk his teammates and opponents.
Most super successful people has this craziness and arrogance in them.
What if he was talking to himself?

It went both ways and it was different. Was very much a common part of the sport for basketball players to dish themselves like that. Could be that it's common in football too just not focused on as much.

Yea, some things work in some sports due to the culture being so and is usually accepted by all as normal. In football, I don't agree with trash-talking before a penalty. Doesn't seem like a natural thing to me in a sport where you can get even a red card if you insult a ref, or just curse in his direction. All of a sudden it's ok to insult players before taking key penalties?
