So here we have an official at the World Cup in the US literally holding up the complete match with his arm in the air, not for injuries, not for football reasons,but because the TV network hasnβt finished selling their ads.
At this point, itβs not a match anymore, itβs a broadcast schedule with a ball occasionally rolling around.
A World Cup official stopping play mid-game so the broadcasters can finish their commercials.
Nothing says βbeautiful gameβ like football taking orders from an ad break. Itβs not a sport at that point,itβs a TV product with a pitch attached.
Imagine watching a World Cup match where the referee is told to wait because the commercials arenβt done yet.
Thatβs not football, thatβs a glorified ad break pretending to be a sporting event.
Just some meaningless content between commercial slots.
Please can we not have morons in the boozers asking for him to be dropped after the first couple of games. Happens every tournament. Heβs the best player to have ever worn the England shirt.
This is becoming a joke seriously.
Dembele started only 9 league games the whole season.
Dembele played 90mins ONCE all season in the league, and that came in April, yes you read it right, April.
Let me break it down. French Ligue started in August.
Dembele played the first 3 games that month. He got injured and missed 2 months of football, 5 league games in total.
He retuned and played 3 games. In all 3 games, he didnβt accumulate 90mins of football, then he missed the next two games.
He came back again and played two games, he didnβt accumulate 60mins in those two games, then he was out injured again.
Here comes January, he started two league games and one sub. He also started two games in February and out injured again.
He returned in March and came on as a sub twice, those were the only league games he played before international break.
This is where it gets interesting, Dembele plays his FIRST 90mins football in the league in the month of APRIL, this was against Toulouse.
Also, they started resting him from here on because of champions league. The last two games before the Bayern games, Angers & Lorient, Dembele did not play one minute.
He also has 10 goals and 6 assists.
The 8th when it comes to top scorers, there are 4 players on that joint 8th position.
Heβs also 8th when it comes to top assist makers, there are 7 other players with 6 assists too.
Itβs just unbelievably worrisome that this same player has won the Player of the season award. A player who barely played, a player who only played 90mins once all season.
The PR is so crazy, honestly.
It's a proper party atmosphere at the City Ground π₯ π
