@souro001 I can counter Catalan independence with 2024 poll data that the majority don't want a separate state.
But I find it disrespectful to all parties there that an Indian dude with no skin in the game is commenting.
Seen those Indian Culers with Catalan separation posters? Cringe.
@souro001 Don't care.
My issue is when you align football with political ideologies esp if there's no skin in the game for you.
Only football ideologies that should be discussed are juego de posicion, relationism, gegenpressing, or counterplay, or some concoction of them.
@souro001@XDcomps Why are you bringing Spain into this?
Bring Argentina; its history & current political situation are both tainted.
Can I support Israel in football right now if my favourite player plays for them? Would you make the same argument in support of me as you would for Argentina?

The Catalan people, friends of Palestine, will not forgive you.
@souro001@XDcomps Wanna talk about how Catalan merchants who directly exploited transatlantic slave trade kickstarted the industrial rev & modernisation of Catalonia, & reason why it's rich. Also, one of the primary reasons why they want to secede- to preserve their 'wealth'.
Want more history?
@souro001@XDcomps By that logic, there should be no Black Liverpool players or fans, as Liverpool's whole economy was built around the transatlantic slave trade or the idea of Indians supporting EPL teams.
You want me to go to Catalonia's history of the slave trade? Condemn Yamal as well, then.
@souro001@XDcomps Yes, no separatist movement is the same--if you can compute that thought in your brain, why can't you zoom out for a sec and think, can I support a football club just because of their sporting nature, not because of their political affiliation??
I'm not a RW, lol.
@souro001@XDcomps He has picked a side. It's just that your brain can't comprehend nuance.
He picked Barca bc of the football playing style & legacy players, & he picked Modi bc he might be a RW.
You back Catalan separation, but do you think Punjab, Kashmir & NE should be allowed to secede?
@brucewaynee09 Did that r*tard compare supporting Modi in India with supporting a f*cking football club & players?
By that same logic, I can ask: why do you support Catalan separation as a 'Culer', but then consider Kashmir, Punjab, and the Northeast states integral parts of India?
@EmanuelVianaW1@AtaqueFutbolero That game was in Kolkata, India, not in Nepal. I love football pitches in the mountains, though.
Wish Brazil & Uruguay were hosted here in India, just for aesthetic sake.
