@TDM_Jesus @Clint_Davey1 This was an empire that managed to come back from the brink countless times prior to the 4th crusade. After the 4th crusade, the task became extremely difficult.

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@TDM_Jesus @Clint_Davey1 Before the 4th crusade, the empire was still a single unified entity, inept emperors aside. After the sacking, the region splintered and the Romans were never quite able to reassert themselve, had to deal with stubborn Latins, and were never able to re-establish legitimacy.

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@TDM_Jesus @Clint_Davey1 This is arguably not true at all. For all its issues, before this turn of events, the empire still functioned and, with a period of stability and competent emperors, could have survived and recovered.

@Okami1811992 @habibahamid It’s literally the opposite, imbecile

@jesuistouareg You can blame 18th century British intellectuals for creating the white washed sanitised Eurocentric version of Ancient Greece that’s been getting pushed ever since, to the detriment of us actual Greeks.

@Saff611 @AFP Nationalist Turks mental gymnastics continuing to evolve

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@RealHellenist Except Greece was as much a part of West Asia as it was southern Europe, it was not some “pure” European culture. That’s just the myth that the Western Europeans created for their own benefit.

@FinnAfAlbansson @World_Insights1 Here we go again. You forgot Korean and Mongolian, might as well throw Greek in there too.

@foxskythelad It's a little more complicated than that. PAOK fans expected that he would be leaving at some point, even though he was happy to stay, because he's a generational talent. The issue is around the way the owner handles his sale, and is managing the club in general.

@316simsim @Feredeal Certain gullible Greeks keep pushing this idea, even though he had clearly stated he was only planning to take a little time off to care for his new born that was due later in the year. Apparently his wife has since given birth prematurely so that's not longer likely the case.

@LunarM4x @airbagg3d Don’t tell them that Ancient Greece was culturally as much a part of west Asia as it was south Eastern Europe, it doesn’t fit their racist Eurocentric narrative.

@TzolakiSZN @RdScouting You’re spreading the same crap as others. How about taking him at his word for his reasons or is that too difficult? He’ll be back in the national team soon enough

@VamossssRafa @galafusion @nolanarchive So Greeks.. colonised Greeks? Genius.

@PastPaulitics Μπράβο φίλε, με ξέρεις απόλυτα.
Sorry I struck a nerve with what I thought was a pretty innocuous comment. Didn’t expect it would result in my being accused of being a radical communist AND possibly a crypto Turk(?)
Να σε καλά.

@martindelp @ZachLowy Don’t disagree with your first point but the “penalty”?, that was a clear dive.

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@iammikkymighty You forgot to add “a raging narcissist”

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@Djoko_UTD He’s clearly making a tongue in cheek comment - Jesus, people.

@youwishmusic @ivanlapanje I find it hard to believe morons like this are real, and not purely trolling

[Mikka @MikkaGate4]

@ellencarmichael It was a valid red card you dimwit
