Ik probeer al een halfuur te bedenken waarom een Duitser van Joodse afkomst na 1945 geen fan meer was van Duitsland, maar ik kom er maar niet op.
Strakke vergelijking, Ronald!
Afellay: โVoor deze specifieke wedstrijd ligt mijn hart bij Marokko.โ
Kun je uitleggen waarom?
Afellay: โMijn roots liggen in Marokko. Mijn ouders komen daar vandaan en mijn familie woont daar. Hoeveel uitleg moet ik daar nog meer over geven?โ

Pisses me off that they can spend ยฃ60m on Zubimendi, who hasn't worked out, and can then just put him to one side and go and spend big on someone else. Just a reminder that Arsenal's record sale is still Oxlade-Chamberlain for ยฃ35m in 2017. The rules aren't for for purpose.
What a journey it wasโฆ ๐
We felt your love, support, dedication and pride for The Blue Wave. The players gave it their all. And so did you, fans!
Thank you!

Ngl we need to cut this bs that โPL footballers would make fans look ordinary in 5 asideโ. I guarantee you I am better at football than a lot of these mid table players. Are you telling me Iโd look shit in a pitch with guys like Will Hughes and Ryan Christie? Okay
๐จ๐ถ Jรฉrรฉmy Doku could temporarily leave Belgium's World Cup camp to be present for the birth of his son, and the debate has exploded across Europe. ๐ง๐ช
French journalist France Pierron didn't hold back:
๐ฃ๏ธ Pierron: "Are you seriously telling me these players have sacrificed everything to come to the World Cup, and you're leaving just to cut an umbilical cord? ๐ณ
You're lucky enough to play in a World Cup. It's an incredible privilege, and hundreds of footballers would do anything to be in your position. That opportunity might never come around again in your life.
And you're going to throw it all away just to attend your child's birth?
It's a moment where the father isn't really needed. He has a symbolic role. You hold her hand and take a photo. And then what?
You're going to miss 10 hours, experience an emotional high, and be exhausted afterwards. You can't miss a World Cup.
Some people may have gone into debt just to get to the World Cup, maybe sacrificed everything to be there, and you're leaving to cut an umbilical cord..." ๐ณ
The reaction has completely split fans. Some believe family comes before everything, while others see the World Cup as an opportunity that may never come around again. ๐
What would you do: stay with your national team or be there for your son's birth? ๐ค
