@MartienBall In my eyes there really isn’t any criteria for the balon dor. Just pick the player you thought moved football the most that year, as subjective as that may be. Ultimately it’s a pony award anyway.
@chomickirio@PatoElgueta15 Funny, could you provide some evidence that the Spanish left the Falklands to you after you gained independence? Seems like an unlikely deal since they had no presence there and nor did you lot at the time, so not sure why they’d just give them up.
@RichWXM It’s more the fact that you aren’t meant to spread political messages. And whilst Argentina will ultimately get away with a slap on the wrists, the of the Brits got slammed with a fine for wearing a bloody poppy.
@AauAreeb@Bd_irB_ll This is the most chronically-online take I’ve ever seen. He’s a defensive liability, full stop. Liverpools defence kept out cr7, not Trent alone (also they ultimately lost that game 3-1 anyway)
@Davidc2508@AlbicelesteTalk Possibly! I thought it was more likely the excrement of their 1000 soldiers that shat their pants and surrendered at Goose Green.
@InvertTheWing@FA Mate, it’s a shit way to go out but we can’t go chopping and changing. We have looked good this tournament. One mistake may cost the tournament but it should cost the manager. Best we’ve had in a long long time
@fpl_tactician As much as I want England to win, you cannot write off these Argies. Messi may be old but I struggle to see him not turning up. Their whole team will be more than up for it , no doubt it will be a feisty game
@pyvzona_norte@Franco352005@NoContextBrits Our task force had one third of the men and had to travel for 2 weeks to an island with entrenched defences, only for you lot to wave the white flag a stones throw away from your backyard. It’s a crime what you subjected your conscripts to.
@rpcokita You attempted to occupy our sovereign territory (ruled by us for the over 100 years) by command of a military dictator, blew up 3 ships, placed heavy artillery in kids playgrounds and more. You know Wikipedia is free?
@misterfibuli@SCFCJosh96 It’s not really a topic of conversation in the UK, at least not nearly to the same extent as Argentina. They are utterly consumed by it
@_AshleyG_@lawrence_bury Was certainly a foul but does feel like they were really looking for any reason to disallow. Ultimately they got the second goal anyway I suppose
@Talhaa10_ 1. No one ever said “he won’t do it in x country”.
2. Juve weren’t irrelevant they were Italian champions and had been in 2 of the last 4 ucl finals.
3. Portugal were well on the map already
Only thing true here is folks writing him off before rejoining Utd and him balling out.
